Description
Savage built the 110 Trailblazer XP for folks who want one purchase to cover just about everything between the gun counter and the deer stand. This .243 Winchester version pairs a 20 inch heavy sporter carbon steel barrel with straight fluting to shave weight and help shed heat, and the whole barreled action wears a Black Ink Cerakote finish that shrugs off rain, sweat, and the general abuse a hunting rifle picks up over a season. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory, so adding a suppressor or brake down the road is a five minute job.
A Trailblazer XP That Shows Up Ready to Hunt
The XP in the name means the optic work is already done. Savage tops the one piece 0 MOA rail with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, a proven scope that covers everything from close timber shots to reaching across a bean field. You'll still want to confirm zero with your hunting load, but the mounting, leveling, and headache portion of a new rifle setup is handled. Underneath, the user adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial the pull weight to your liking without a trip to a gunsmith, and the jeweled bolt body runs smooth right out of the box.
Why .243 Win Fits This Savage 110 So Well
The .243 Winchester is one of those cartridges that earns its keep year round. Light recoil makes it a favorite for newer hunters and smaller framed folks, yet it carries plenty of punch for whitetail, antelope, and hogs, and it doubles nicely as a coyote and varmint rifle in the off season. The Flat Dark Gray synthetic Trophy stock features adjustable length of pull, so the rifle can grow with a young hunter or be tailored for heavy winter layers. Feeding comes from a detachable 4 round box magazine, giving you 4+1 on board and quick reloads with cold fingers.
Trailblazer XP Details Worth Knowing
At roughly 8.3 pounds scoped and just over 40 inches overall, it carries the way a 20 inch barreled rifle should: compact in the truck, easy in a blind, and steady off sticks. It's a lot of well thought out rifle in one box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP come with a scope already mounted?
Yes, it ships with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 mounted on a one-piece 0 MOA rail from the factory. You should still confirm zero at the range with the ammo you plan to hunt with, but the mounting and leveling work is already done for you.
Is the barrel on the 110 Trailblazer XP threaded for a suppressor?
It is. The 20 inch heavy sporter fluted barrel comes with a threaded muzzle from the factory, so it will accept a suppressor or muzzle brake without any gunsmithing. That makes it an easy rifle to quiet down for recoil sensitive or younger hunters.
Can I adjust the trigger on this Savage 110?
Yes. It uses Savage's AccuTrigger, which lets you adjust the pull weight yourself using the included method described in the manual. It also has a built in safety blade in the trigger face, so you get a crisp, light pull without giving up drop safety.
What is the .243 Win Trailblazer XP best suited for?
The .243 Winchester is a great dual purpose cartridge. It has enough energy for whitetail, antelope, and hogs at typical hunting ranges, while its mild recoil and flat trajectory also make it excellent on coyotes and other varmints. Combined with the adjustable length of pull stock, it's a popular pick for young or first time hunters too.
