Key Features
- Button-Rifled Barrel – The 24-inch carbon steel barrel is button-rifled for consistent bore dimensions. This means better accuracy shot after shot, especially with the 6.5 Creedmoor’s long-range potential.
- AccuTrigger – Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger lets you set pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools. A lighter, crisp trigger helps you shoot tighter groups in the field or at the bench.
- Adjustable Length of Pull – The synthetic stock includes spacers to change LOP from 12.5 to 13.75 inches. A proper fit means better cheek weld and consistent shooting posture, especially for smaller or larger shooters.
- Mounted Vortex Crossfire II Scope – The rifle ships with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 already mounted and boresighted. You save time and money on mounting, and Vortex offers a solid warranty on the glass.
- Detachable 4-Round Magazine – A detachable box magazine feeds reliably and allows quick reloads. It also makes unloading safe and simple when crossing fences or climbing into a stand.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for hunters who want a ready-to-go package without the hassle of buying a scope separately. It’s a good fit for new shooters stepping into bolt-action rifles, as well as seasoned hunters who need a reliable, accurate 6.5 Creedmoor for whitetail, mule deer, or varmints. The adjustable stock also makes it a solid choice for smaller-framed shooters or youth hunters who need a shorter length of pull.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: The AccuTrigger is adjustable down to about 2.5 pounds, giving you a crisp break that helps with precision.
- Pro: The included Vortex scope is a solid entry-level optic with a no-questions-asked warranty.
- Con: The synthetic stock feels a bit flexy under heavy sling pressure, which can affect point of impact if you’re not careful. A simple stock upgrade later solves this.

The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP offers the best value if you want a scope included. The Ruger American Hunter has a threaded barrel for suppressors and an adjustable comb, but no glass. The Tikka T3x Lite is lighter and smoother, but costs more and doesn’t come with a scope. For a hunter on a budget, the Savage package is hard to beat.
