There's a reason the .204 Ruger has a cult following among varmint hunters. It's screaming fast, flat shooting, and easy on the shoulder, which makes it a blast for long afternoons on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes. The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP puts that cartridge in a proven Model 110 bolt action and tops it with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 that arrives mounted and bore sighted on a one-piece EGW 0 MOA rail. Confirm zero at the range, and you're in business.
Savage builds accuracy into this rifle the same way they do their higher-end 110s. The 20 inch carbon steel sporter barrel is button rifled with a 1:12 twist that handles the classic 32 to 40 grain .204 loads nicely, and the floating bolt head plus thread-in headspacing keep everything locked up square behind the cartridge. Then there's the AccuTrigger, which you can adjust yourself to get a crisp, light pull without paying a gunsmith. That trigger alone is a big part of why Savage package rifles punch above their weight on paper.
The black synthetic stock has an adjustable length of pull, so you can tune it whether you're layered up in winter gear or shooting off a bench in a t-shirt. It's a small thing until you notice how much steadier you hold when the rifle fits right. The whole package wears a matte black finish that shrugs off weather, feeds from a 4 round detachable box magazine, and uses a simple thumb safety right where you'd expect it.
The Crossfire II's Dead-Hold BDC reticle gives you clean holdover points for those longer pokes across a pasture, and 3-9x is a practical magnification range for the kind of shooting the .204 does best. If you've been wanting a dedicated varmint rig without hunting down rings, bases, and glass separately, this one shows up done and ready to earn its keep.
The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 comes mounted and bore sighted from the factory on a one-piece EGW 0 MOA rail. Bore sighting gets you on paper, but you'll still want a range session to dial in a true zero with your chosen ammo. Plan on a box of shells and a solid rest, and you'll be set in short order.
The .204 Ruger is one of the flattest-shooting varmint cartridges out there, pushing light bullets past 4,000 fps in some loads. It shines on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes, with almost no recoil so you can watch your hits through the scope. The 1:12 twist in this barrel pairs well with the common 32 to 40 grain bullets.
Yes. The Savage AccuTrigger is user adjustable with the included tool, so you can lighten the pull to your liking without a trip to a gunsmith. It also has a built-in safety blade in the trigger face, which lets Savage offer a light, crisp pull that stays safe to carry in the field.
The synthetic stock has an adjustable length of pull, so you can shorten or lengthen it from the standard 13.75 inches to fit your build and your gear. That adjustability is handy if the rifle will be shared around the family or used across seasons with heavy or light clothing.
