Description
Some rifles are made for the bench, and some are made to get dragged through alder thickets in the rain. The Savage 110 Bear Hunter is firmly in the second camp. Chambered in .300 Winchester Short Magnum, it delivers serious knockdown power for elk, moose, and big bears, and the stainless steel barreled action shrugs off wet weather that would have a blued rifle showing rust by the end of the week. The 23 inch button-rifled barrel wears straight fluting to trim weight and an adjustable muzzle brake, so you can open it up to tame recoil at the range or close it down for a quieter shot in the field.
A 110 Bear Hunter That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
Savage's AccuFit system is one of the best reasons to pick this rifle over the competition. Five comb risers and four length-of-pull inserts let you set up the stock for your build, your coat thickness, and your scope height, giving you a proper cheek weld instead of the one-size-fits-nobody feel of most factory synthetics. Underneath, the AccuStock's rigid rail bedding locks the action in three dimensions along its full length, which goes a long way toward the consistent accuracy this platform is known for. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger rounds it out with a crisp, clean break you can tune yourself.
Field-Ready Details on the Savage Bear Hunter .300 WSM
The Mossy Oak Break-Up Country synthetic stock features soft grip surfaces at the fore-end and pistol grip, a real plus with cold or wet hands. Feeding comes from a 2+1 hinged floorplate magazine, so there's no detachable box to lose in the snow, and the tang-mounted safety falls naturally under your thumb whether you shoot right or left handed. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, ready for the optic of your choice. At 8.39 pounds bare, it carries a bit of heft, and that works in your favor when you touch off a short magnum. If you hunt where the weather is ugly and the game is big, this one earns its name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Savage 110 Bear Hunter good for actual bear hunting?
That is exactly what it was built for. The .300 WSM chambering has plenty of energy for black bear and works well on elk and moose too, while the stainless barreled action and synthetic stock hold up to the wet, nasty conditions bear country tends to serve up. The adjustable brake also makes practice sessions with heavy loads a lot more pleasant.
Does the 110 Bear Hunter come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so all you need is a set of bases and rings for the scope of your choice. Given the reach of the .300 WSM, a quality 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope pairs nicely with this rifle.
How does the adjustable muzzle brake on this rifle work?
The brake can be rotated between open and closed positions. Open it up at the range and it vents gas to noticeably cut recoil, which makes the .300 WSM much easier to shoot well. Close it in the field when you want less blast and noise around you or a hunting partner.
Can I adjust the fit and trigger on the Savage 110 Bear Hunter myself?
Yes, and it is easier than you might expect. The AccuFit system includes five comb risers and four length-of-pull inserts you can swap at home with basic tools to match your build and scope height. The AccuTrigger is also user adjustable for pull weight, so you can set a crisp, light break without paying for trigger work.
