Description
Straight-wall cartridges have opened up a lot of deer country to bolt guns, and the .400 Legend is one of the best of the bunch, pushing a heavy .40 caliber bullet with plenty of thump for whitetail and hogs without beating up your shoulder. Savage dropped it into the 110 Trail Hunter, and the pairing makes a ton of sense. This is the rifle you grab when the forecast looks ugly and the deer are moving anyway.
Built for Bad Weather, Not the Gun Case
Savage teamed up with Hogue on this one, wrapping the stock in full-coverage rubber overmold in olive drab green. Cold hands, wet gloves, drizzle running down the forend, none of it matters because that stock stays planted in your grip. The barreled action wears Tungsten Cerakote, a ceramic-based finish that shrugs off rain, sweat, and the dings that come with dragging a rifle through thick timber. Between the two, there is not much on this gun for the elements to attack.
The 110 Trail Hunter Where It Counts
The 20-inch medium heavy barrel is button rifled with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes those big .400 Legend bullets, and the 11/16×24 threaded muzzle is ready for a suppressor or brake whenever you are. Savage's AccuTrigger adjusts from 2.5 to 6 pounds so you can dial in a crisp, clean break without a trip to the gunsmith. A three-position tang safety sits right under your thumb, the detachable box magazine holds four rounds, and two sling swivel studs come standard. There are no iron sights, but the included two-piece Weaver style bases mean you can bolt on a scope and hit the range the same day.
Why the .400 Legend Trail Hunter Earns Its Spot
At roughly 7.2 pounds with a 40.25-inch overall length, this rifle carries well in a stand, a blind, or on a long still hunt. It is a working hunting rifle with the accuracy Savage 110s are known for, chambered in a cartridge that hits hard inside 250 yards. For anyone hunting straight-wall country, this setup is tough to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage 110 Trail Hunter come with sights or a scope?
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. It does include two-piece Weaver style bases already set up on the receiver, so mounting a scope is quick and simple. Plan on adding rings and glass before your first range trip.
Is the barrel on this .400 Legend Trail Hunter suppressor ready?
Yes, the 20-inch barrel comes threaded 11/16×24 from the factory with a thread protector installed. That thread pattern is common for .40 caliber bores, so most suppressors and muzzle brakes sized for the .400 Legend will spin right on. The shorter 20-inch barrel also keeps the overall length manageable once a can is attached.
Can I adjust the trigger on the 110 Trail Hunter myself?
You can. Savage's AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from about 2.5 to 6 pounds using the included tool, no gunsmith required. It also gives you a crisp, clean break with a built-in safety blade, which is a big part of why Savage rifles have a reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy.
What is the .400 Legend good for as a hunting cartridge?
The .400 Legend is a straight-wall cartridge from Winchester that drives a heavy .40 caliber bullet with serious knockdown power inside 200 to 250 yards. It hits noticeably harder than the .350 Legend while keeping recoil manageable in a 7-pound-plus rifle like this one. It is a great fit for whitetail deer, hogs, and black bear at woods ranges.
