About this product
The Savage 110 Elite Precision LH .223 Rem 26 in MDT Chassis is a left-handed precision rifle built on Savage's blueprinted Model 110 action with an MDT ACC aluminum chassis and 26-inch barrel. Designed for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts, it combines factory-tuned mechanics with aftermarket-grade chassis ergonomics. This configuration specifically caters to left-handed operators who demand component-level precision without custom gunsmithing.
What is the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH used for?
This rifle is built for precision competition and long-range target shooting where left-hand operation and chassis stability are critical. The 26-inch barrel and MDT ACC chassis provide a rigid 12.6-pound platform ideal for prone or benchrest shooting, while the .223 Rem chambering keeps ammunition costs manageable for high-volume practice sessions. I've seen similar configurations excel in NRL Hunter matches where adjustable stocks and ARCA rails are mandatory.
How does the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Elite Precision LH outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in precision features but costs $1,200 more. Where the Stevens 334 offers basic .308 Win functionality at 7.1 pounds, the Savage provides a blueprinted action, titanium nitride bolt, and full MDT chassis with ARCA rail—making it 78% heavier but significantly more stable for shots beyond 600 yards. The Stevens remains better for hunting; the Savage dominates structured competition.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 12.6 pounds (201.6 oz) with an overall length of 47.5 inches including muzzle brake. The MDT ACC chassis contributes 3.2 pounds of that weight, while the 26-inch barrel measures 0.900 inches at the muzzle end. This puts it 4.3 pounds heavier than a typical hunting rifle like the Stevens 334, but the mass directly aids recoil management and stability on barricades.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for hunters or casual plinkers due to its weight and specialized chassis. At 12.6 pounds, it’s 5.5 pounds heavier than a typical scoped hunting rifle and too cumbersome for off-hand shooting or extended carries. The left-hand configuration also makes it unsuitable for right-handed shooters unless they’re training for ambidextrous operation. If you need a field rifle, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 10-round AICS-pattern magazine, MDT ACC chassis with integrated ARCA rail, and factory-installed muzzle brake. The package does not include optics, bipod, or scope mounts—expect to add another $800-$2,000 for a competitive setup. The chassis alone retails for $649 if purchased separately, making the bundled value notable for builders.
Is the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH worth it at $2098.99?
At $2,098.99, this rifle justifies its cost for serious competitors needing left-hand operation and chassis features without custom work. The blueprinted action and MDT chassis would cost over $1,400 if built separately, and the factory assembly ensures headspace and timing are correct—saving 3-4 weeks of gunsmithing time. For right-handed shooters or those wanting lighter weight, the value proposition weakens considerably.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses detachable AICS-pattern magazines exclusively. The included magazine holds 10 rounds of .223 Rem, and aftermarket options from MDT, Accuracy International, or Magpul work without modification. Expect to pay $45-80 per magazine depending on material and capacity.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- No, the 47.5-inch length requires an extended case. I recommend Plano All-Weather 52-inch cases or similar—standard 42-inch cases will not close. The MDT chassis also adds width, so double-check interior dimensions exceed 10 inches.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL shipments typically take 3-7 business days after processing. We use FedEx Priority Overnight for firearms, but your local FFL’s transfer timing adds 1-2 days. International orders require 10-14 days for export compliance checks.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No, firearms are final sale unless defective. Federal law prohibits returns on transferred firearms, so verify your FFL will accept it before ordering. We inspect all rifles for function before shipping—any mechanical issues are covered by Savage’s warranty.
- Does this work with suppressor mounts?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread suppressors or adapter mounts. The factory brake uses standard threads, but check suppressor clearance—the 26-inch barrel may require extended mounts if using large-bore cans like SilencerCo Omega 300.
