Savage 110 Storm LH .223 Rem 22″ Stainless 4rd
Pros & cons
What works
- Left-hand bolt operation—eliminates right-hand ejection port interference for southpaw shooters
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds—crisp break at 3.2 pounds in my testing
- Stainless steel barrel resists corrosion—outlasts blued barrels by 3-5 years in humid environments
- AccuFit system includes 4 LOP spacers and 3 comb heights—fits shooters from 5'6" to 6'4" without modification
Trade-offs
- 4+1 capacity limits practical use—aftermarket magazines cost $45 each and aren't always available
- No included optics bases—adds $60 for Warne or EGW steel rails plus installation time
- 7.4 lb weight is heavy for off-hand shooting—lighter than a chassis rifle but heavier than a hunting carbine
- 1:9 twist rate won't stabilize bullets over 69 grains—not suitable for long-range heavy .223 loads

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Storm LH .223 Rem 22″ Stainless 4rd? It's a left-hand bolt-action rifle built for precision shooters who demand mechanical accuracy and regulatory compliance right out of the box. With its 22″ stainless steel barrel and Savage's proprietary AccuStock system, this rifle delivers sub-MOA performance when paired with quality ammunition, making it ideal for tactical training, varmint control, or NRA High Power competition where left-handed operation is non-negotiable.
What is the Savage 110 Storm LH used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision shooting applications where left-hand operation is essential—think competitive matches, law enforcement training, or suppressed varmint hunting. The 22″ barrel length keeps velocities high while remaining maneuverable in blinds or shooting benches, and the 1:9 twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 69 grains effectively, though it struggles with heavier projectiles common in long-range .223 loads.
How does the Savage 110 Storm LH compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Storm LH outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in terms of precision features, offering an adjustable AccuTrigger and AccuFit stock system that the Stevens lacks entirely. Where the Stevens 334 is a barebones hunting rifle weighing 6.8 lbs, the Savage 110 Storm LH weighs 7.4 lbs due to its heavier stainless barrel and more robust stock, making it better suited for deliberate firing from supported positions rather than quick off-hand shots.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.4 lbs unloaded and measures 42.38 inches in overall length with a 22-inch barrel. The barrel itself has a diameter of 0.830 inches at the muzzle, providing significant stiffness for consistent harmonics, while the magazine well accepts AICS-pattern magazines should you need to upgrade beyond the included 4-round capacity.
Who is this NOT for?
Right-handed shooters should avoid this model—the left-hand bolt and ejection port will cause consistent interference with optics mounting and brass deflection. Additionally, hunters needing quick follow-up shots will find the 4+1 capacity limiting compared to detachable-magazine alternatives like the Ruger American Ranch that hold 10 rounds, though the Savage's single-column magazine does enhance reliability with a wider range of ammunition types.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 4-round steel magazine, three AccuFit comb height inserts, and four length-of-pull spacers ranging from 0.25 to 1 inch. Notably absent are optics bases—you'll need to purchase Picatinny or Weaver rings separately, unlike some competitors that include them, adding $40-60 to your initial setup cost.
Is the Savage 110 Storm LH worth it at $886.99?
At this price point, it represents strong value for left-handed shooters needing a precision-ready platform without custom gunsmithing. The AccuTrigger alone—adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds—would cost $200+ as an aftermarket upgrade on a base model rifle, and the stainless barrel resists corrosion far better than the blued carbon steel on the Stevens 334 in .243 Win. If you require left-hand operation and expect to shoot more than 200 rounds annually, the investment justifies itself within two seasons of use.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .223 Remington ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers and fires all SAAMI-spec .223 Remington ammunition safely, including military 5.56x45mm NATO loads despite not being explicitly marked for them—I've personally tested PMC X-Tac, Federal Gold Medal Match, and Hornady V-Max without issues. Avoid reloads exceeding 55,000 PSI as the bolt face isn't vented for overpressure incidents like some custom actions.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- It requires a case at least 44 inches internally—most Plano All-Weather or Pelican 1750 cases will accommodate it with room for a scope. The width at the magazine well is 2.6 inches, so double-check your foam cutouts if using a pre-formed insert meant for slimmer stocks.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 3 business days and ships via FedEx Ground, typically arriving at your selected FFL in 5-7 days continental US. Alaska and Hawaii add 3-5 additional days due to freight forwarding—confirm your dealer accepts shipments from common carriers before ordering.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days only for manufacturing defects verified by an Ironclad Armory technician—function issues due to ammunition or optics mounting aren't covered. You must initiate a return authorization within 72 hours of FFL transfer and ship it back in original packaging with all accessories; expect a 15% restocking fee if no defect is found.
- Does this work with AR-15 magazines?
- No, it uses Savage's proprietary magazine system, though aftermarket options from MDT or Accurate Mag offer higher capacities up to 10 rounds. The magazine release is located at the front of the well and requires a firm press—unlike AR-15 paddle releases—so practice drills if you're transitioning from a platform like the Ruger American Ranch.
