Description
If you're running a Savage 110 chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, having quality magazines on hand makes a real difference. This is the factory-standard 5-round AICS magazine built specifically for your rifle. It's steel construction with a matte black finish that resists corrosion in the field, and it's designed to feed the big Lapua round flawlessly.
AICS Specification and Compatibility
This magazine follows standard AICS detachable magazine dimensions and is compatible with Savage 110 and 111 long-action rifles configured for AICS magazines. The 3.850-inch cartridge overall length spec means it works with the CIP chamber dimensions common in modern Savage precision models. It fits Savage 110 Stealth, Evolution, Precision, Elite Precision, and 110 HS Precision models, as well as 110 Long Range Hunter variants. You get standard AICS compatibility, so if you move to a different AICS-pattern chassis system down the road, this magazine will go with you.
Build Quality and Feeding
The magazine comes with precision-machined feed lips that ensure consistent, wobble-free seating in the magazine well. Inside, you'll find a high-strength steel spring and polymer follower that keeps rounds presenting smoothly for reliable chambering shot after shot. This matters more than people realize with a cartridge as powerful as the .338 Lapua. When you're setting up a precision shot or making a follow-up in a hunting scenario, the last thing you want is a feeding hesitation. The internal geometry is calibrated specifically for the .338 Lapua case shape and dimensions, not adapted from something else.
Field Durability
The removable steel floorplate makes it easy to strip the magazine down for cleaning or maintenance. The matte black Cerakote Elite finish holds up well against water, dirt, and the general beating that comes with regular use. This is an original equipment manufacturer part, manufactured to the exact same specs as the magazines Savage ships with their precision rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work with my Savage 110 in .338 Lapua?
Yes, if your rifle is configured to accept AICS detachable magazines. This is the factory OEM magazine for Savage 110 and 111 long-action models in .338 Lapua. Check your rifle's magazine well to confirm it's AICS-spec. Some older production or certain specialized models may use different magazine systems, so verify compatibility with your specific rifle variant.
What's the difference between this and other .338 Lapua magazines?
This is the genuine Savage factory magazine built to exact specifications for the .338 Lapua. It's engineered to match your rifle's action and feed ramp perfectly. Aftermarket options exist, but OEM magazines ensure zero guesswork with fit, feed geometry, and tolerance alignment. You get the same magazine Savage ships with their precision rifles.
Can I use this magazine in AICS-pattern chassis systems?
Yes. The magazine follows standard AICS dimensions and includes a Savage baseplate, making it compatible with AICS-configured chassis systems from MDT and other manufacturers designed for Savage actions. It's genuinely a cross-platform AICS magazine, so if you upgrade your rifle's chassis later, the magazine moves with you.
How do I maintain and clean this magazine?
The removable steel floorplate allows you to disassemble the magazine completely for cleaning. Field debris can be rinsed out, and the internal spring and follower can be inspected. After cleaning, reassemble and test-load a few rounds before heading out. The steel construction holds up well to routine maintenance and doesn't require special care beyond keeping debris out of the feed lips.
