Description
Big game hunters have leaned on the .300 Win Mag for decades, and for good reason. It hits hard, shoots flat, and handles everything from whitetail to elk to bear without breaking a sweat. The Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2 wraps that proven cartridge in a package built to be carried, not babied. At right around 7 pounds with a 20 inch barrel, this is a magnum rifle you can haul up a mountain all day without regretting your choices by lunchtime.
Built for Weather, Not the Safe
Savage teamed up with Hogue on this one, and it shows. The full coverage rubber OverMolded stock gives you a sure grip when your hands are cold, wet, or gloved, which is exactly when most shots at big game seem to happen. The barreled action wears a Tungsten Cerakote finish that seals out moisture and grime, so a rainy sit in the stand or a snowy pack out will not leave you scrubbing rust that evening. Two sling swivel studs come standard for hauling it comfortably to wherever the trail leads.
Trail Hunter Lite V2 Features That Earn Their Keep
The heavy sporter barrel is button rifled with straight fluting to trim weight and help it cool between shots, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 for a brake or suppressor. A brake is a smart addition here, since a 20 inch .300 Win Mag has some bark to it. Up top, the receiver is drilled and tapped and ships with two piece Weaver style bases, so mounting glass takes minutes. Savage's user adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial the pull to your liking right out of the box, no gunsmith required, and the three position tang safety sits naturally under your thumb and lets you cycle the bolt with the safety engaged.
Feeding and Handling the 110 Trail Hunter Lite
A flush fitting detachable box magazine holds 3 rounds of .300 Win Mag with one more in the chamber, and the 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of .30 caliber hunting bullets, including the heavy stuff. If you want one rifle that covers nearly any big game hunt in North America and does not weigh you down getting there, this one belongs on your short list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2 come with sights or a scope?
No sights or optic are included, but the receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with two piece Weaver style bases already in place. Just add rings and the scope of your choice and you are ready to zero. Most buyers pair this rifle with a 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope.
Is the barrel on this 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2 threaded for a suppressor or brake?
Yes, the 20 inch fluted barrel is threaded with a standard 5/8×24 pattern. That fits most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes on the market. Given the recoil of a .300 Win Mag in a 7 pound rifle, a good brake or can makes range sessions a lot more pleasant.
Can I adjust the trigger on this rifle myself?
You can. The 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2 uses Savage's AccuTrigger, which is user adjustable for pull weight using the included tool and instructions in the manual. It also has a built-in blade safety that helps prevent the rifle from firing unless the trigger is pulled deliberately.
Is a 20 inch barrel long enough for .300 Win Mag?
You do give up some velocity compared to a 24 or 26 inch tube, generally in the neighborhood of 25 to 35 fps per inch. Even so, a 20 inch .300 Win Mag still comfortably outruns a .30-06 and has plenty of reach for elk, moose, and bear at practical hunting distances. The tradeoff buys you a much handier rifle in timber, blinds, and tight country, and it balances well with a suppressor attached.
