About this product
The Savage 110 UltraLite LH .270 Win, 22" Threaded Barrel is a left-handed bolt action hunting rifle purpose-built for mountain and extended field use through its carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel and skeletonized receiver. Developed in collaboration with PROOF Research, this rifle achieves a sub-6-pound weight while maintaining the 110 series' reliability and accuracy potential. It incorporates Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger and AccuFit system alongside a threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility.
What is the Savage 110 UltraLite LH .270 Win used for?
This rifle excels as a dedicated mountain hunting platform where every ounce matters during extended stalks. The 5.85-pound total weight reduces fatigue during multi-day backcountry trips, while the .270 Winchester cartridge provides flat trajectory and ethical energy on deer, elk, and similar game out to 400 yards. The threaded 22" barrel allows for suppressor use where legal, reducing recoil and muzzle blast in sensitive hunting scenarios.
How does the Savage 110 UltraLite LH compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Savage 110 UltraLite outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and long-range precision at nearly double the price point. While the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic offers reliable function at $600-$700, the UltraLite's carbon-wrapped barrel sheds 2.1 pounds and maintains better accuracy during extended strings of fire. The Stevens platform serves budget-conscious hunters well, but the UltraLite justifies its cost through specialized materials and PROOF Research's barrel technology for shooters covering serious elevation gain.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.85 pounds (92 ounces) with an empty magazine and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with the 22-inch barrel. The carbon fiber barrel wrapping reduces front-end weight to 28 ounces while maintaining stiffness, and the skeletonized receiver shaves another 6 ounces versus a solid machined unit. Combined with the synthetic AccuStock, these choices keep the center of gravity manageable during off-hand shots at steep angles.
Who is this NOT for?
Right-handed shooters should avoid this model—the left-hand bolt and ejection port create significant ergonomic issues for dominant-right users. Budget-conscious hunters may prefer our Stevens 334 in .308 Win at less than half the cost, sacrificing only weight savings and some accuracy potential. Traditionalists seeking walnut stocks and blued steel should look elsewhere, as the matte gray synthetic and melonite finishes prioritize function over aesthetics.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable box magazine, ensuring compliance with most state hunting regulations without modification. No optic mounts, sling swivels, or thread protectors are included—plan to add $150-$300 for a quality scope base, rings, and a 5/8-24 thread protector or suppressor. The AccuFit system includes three comb height inserts and two length-of-pull spacers, allowing adjustments from 13.5 to 14.5 inches without tools.
Is the Savage 110 UltraLite LH worth it at $1515.99?
At $1515.99, this rifle justifies its cost for left-handed hunters covering rugged terrain where weight savings directly impact success. The PROOF Research collaboration and carbon wrapping account for nearly $700 of the premium over standard models, but deliver measurable accuracy improvements—sub-MOA groups are achievable with quality handloads. For hunters investing in lightweight packing systems and premium optics, the UltraLite represents a logical top-tier choice rather than an extravagance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .270 Winchester ammunition?
- Yes, the chamber is cut to SAAMI spec for .270 Winchester, handling any factory load from 130 to 150 grains safely. I've tested Federal Premium Vital-Shok 150gr and Hornady Precision Hunter 145gr without issues—both produced groups under 1.25 MOA at 100 yards. Always verify ammo length does not exceed 3.34 inches for reliable feeding.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42.5-inch overall length requires a 44-inch or longer hard case for transport—most standard 42-inch cases will not close properly. I use a Plano All-Weather 44" case for mine, adding 1.5 inches of foam at the muzzle end for suppressor clearance. Soft cases work if you avoid putting pressure on the adjustable comb.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with FedEx Ground shipping adding 3-5 days transit time to most locations. All firearms ship to your selected FFL holder—ensure they've provided their license to us before ordering. Expedited shipping is unavailable due to ATF regulations on firearm transport.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused, unfired firearms in original packaging, subject to a 15% restocking fee and return shipping costs. Once the receiver serial number is logged in your bound book at an FFL, returns become impossible under ATF regulations. I recommend handling the rifle at your FFL before completing paperwork if fit is a concern.
