Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .30-06 22″ Bolt Rifle w/ Vortex 3-9×40

Description

There is a reason the .30-06 Springfield keeps showing up in deer camps generation after generation, and the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP gives you a proper home for it. This is the classic Model 110 bolt action, the same basic design Savage has been refining since the late 1950s, wearing a 22 inch carbon steel sporter barrel with button rifling and a 1:10 twist that handles everything from 150 grain whitetail loads to heavier 180 grain bullets for elk and black bear.

What Makes the 110 Apex Hunter XP a Smart Package

The big draw here is that the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 comes mounted and bore sighted from the factory on a one piece EGW 0 MOA rail, so your first range trip is about fine tuning zero, not fumbling with rings and lapping bars. The Crossfire II is a workhorse hunting scope, and its Dead-Hold BDC reticle gives you simple holdover points when a buck steps out past your comfort zone. Underneath the glass you get Savage's user adjustable AccuTrigger, which lets you dial the pull down to a clean, crisp break without a trip to the gunsmith. Thread-in headspacing and a floating bolt head round out the accuracy story, and they are a big part of why Savage package rifles shoot better than their price class suggests.

Built to Fit You, Not the Other Way Around

The black synthetic stock adjusts for length of pull, so whether you are long armed or buying for a smaller framed hunter, you can get a comfortable, repeatable mount. Feeding comes from a detachable box magazine holding four rounds, with one more in the chamber, and a thumb safety sits right where your hand expects it. At 7.82 pounds bare and 43 inches overall, the 110 Apex Hunter XP carries fine through timber and settles down nicely on a rest. If you want one rifle that covers most of North American big game without a pile of extra purchases, this is a hard package to argue with.
