The Savage 110 Tactical is a member of the Savage 110 family of centerfire bolt-action rifles. The current Savage 110 rifle family has an astonishing 30 variants. Each also has subvariants. But here we’ll focus on the Savage 110 Tactical.

The 110 Tacticals all feature a black carbon steel barrel, carbon steel matte black receiver, matte gray polymer stock, a length of pull of 12.75” to 13.75” and a detachable box magazine. A medium length scope rail is bridged atop the upper receiver. The barrel is fronted by a suppressor-ready thread that comes with an end cap for when the thread is not needed. The 110 Tactical has five combinations of 20” and 24” 5R matte barrel lengths and four calibers. Now, let’s look at each gun individually. They are as follows:

• .308 Winchester, 10 round magazine, 20” barrel, 1 to 10” twist, 43” overall length, 7.38 pounds weight.
• .308 Winchester, 10 round magazine, 24” barrel, 1 to 10” twist, 46.5” overall length, 8.87 pounds weight.
• .308 Win Mag, 5 round magazine, 24” barrel, 1 to 10” twist, 45” overall length, 9.10 pounds weight.
• 6.5 Creedmore: 10 round magazine, 24” barrel, 1 to 8” twist, 46.5” overall length, 8.87 pounds weight.
• 6.5 PRC, 8 round magazine, 24” barrel, 1 to 8” twist, 46.5” overall length, 8.87 pounds weight.

The 110 Tactical also has the trio of Savage’s “Accu” components. That’s the AccuTrigger, AccuStock, and AccuFit components. Let’s take a look at all three.

The AccuTrigger is an adjustable trigger that been designed to prevent the rifle from discharging when jarred or dropped.

The AccuStock anchors the barrel in place in the stock. AccuStock has a steel chassis. As expected, it has two bolt threads, but serendipitously, it has two long rails extending forward, which then secures the action in three dimensions. Something like this is normally not found in this price range.

The AccuFit system provides the butt stock with an adjustable comb and adjustable length of pull. It comes with four spacers. Just remove two screws and put in the spacing you want. It also has five different combs for a variety of comb heights for different cheek to stock contact for optimal eye alignment.

The 110’s safety has three positions: full safe, mid safe and safety off. Full safe prevents all operations. Mid safe keeps the trigger locked while permitting bolt movement. And safety off means the gun is ready to fire. A clever design feature is that moving the safety to the safety off position exposes a red dot. There is also a cocked/uncocked indicator at the back of the bolt.

Speaking of the bolt, the Savage 110’s bolt grip is oversized in length and diameter, making it easy to grip with gloves.

Most Savage 110 rifles have two swivel stud screw mounts, but the Savage 110 Tactical has three. One is toward the front of the stock where one would expect it. The next one is further toward the center, but before the magazine dock and the trigger. The third is in the butt stock. Having three points permits simultaneously attaching both a sling and a pod. The Savage 110 Tactical also features a threaded muzzle for suppressors.

The box magazine docks in front of the trigger. It’s easily released with a glove friendly flap lever between the magazine and rounded corner trigger guard.

While the Savage 110 is an accurate, quality, comfortable rifle, it is both heavier and has more play in components than higher end models. For instance, the action wiggles more as it is pulled straight back. Working the butt spacers might take a little more work than in higher end models. But at this price range, these are minor quibbles.

In sum, the Savage 110 Tactical rifle is an excellent budget centerfire bolt-action rifle.
