The Savage Arms 110 Core Predator in .22-250 with a 22-inch barrel is a field-ready bolt-action rifle built for varmint hunters who demand precision straight from the box. It pairs a threaded, heavy-profile barrel with an adjustable AccuTrigger and a synthetic stock, giving you a lightweight rig that shoots flat and fast. This is the rifle you grab when you need to reach out and touch a coyote at 400 yards without custom work.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger — Why it matters: You get a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull (down to 2.5 pounds) that lets you tune the break for long-range precision without a gunsmith visit.
- Threaded, Heavy-Profile Barrel — Why it matters: The 22-inch barrel with 5/8-24 threads means you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake instantly, and the heavy contour soaks up heat during rapid strings on prairie dogs.
- Detachable Box Magazine — Why it matters: Reloading is fast and safe—the flush-fit 4-round mag lets you swap loads or clear the chamber without fumbling with floorplates in the field.
- Synthetic Stock with AccuStock — Why it matters: The rigid aluminum bedding block free-floats the barrel and locks the action tight, so your point of impact stays consistent even in wet weather or rough terrain.
- Oversized Bolt Handle — Why it matters: Gloved hands get positive purchase on the bolt, and the 60-degree lift cycles fast for follow-up shots on moving targets.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the predator hunter who spends more time behind a spotting scope than at the bench. It’s light enough to carry all day, accurate enough to drop a coyote at 300 yards with factory ammo, and threaded for a suppressor if you hunt quiet. New shooters will appreciate the AccuTrigger’s safety, while experienced hunters will love the out-of-box accuracy that usually costs twice as much.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Savage; adjustable trigger without aftermarket parts; threaded barrel for suppressor use; lightweight synthetic stock resists weather; price point under $1,000 for a true predator rig.
- Cons: The factory synthetic stock feels a bit flexible under heavy bipod pressure—some shooters upgrade to a chassis later. Also, the .22-250 round burns barrels faster than a .223, so plan for replacement around 2,500-3,000 rounds.

FAQ
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator accurate out of the box?
Yes. Savage guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammo, and most users report 0.75-1.0 MOA groups with factory loads like Hornady V-Max. The AccuTrigger and free-floated barrel make it a consistent shooter without bedding or barrel work.
Can I mount a suppressor on the 22-inch barrel?
Absolutely. The barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 from the factory, and Savage includes a thread protector. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .22-250 velocities—most .30-cal cans work fine with a direct thread mount.
What scope base does the 110 Core Predator use?
It uses a Savage long-action, two-piece scope base pattern (front and rear). We stock scope bases and rings that fit this model. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style bases.
How does the .22-250 compare to .223 for predator hunting?
The .22-250 shoots flatter and hits harder at 300+ yards—about 200-300 fps faster than a .223 with similar bullet weights. But the .223 has less recoil and longer barrel life. For coyotes and bobcats past 300 yards, the .22-250 is the better choice.
What is the magazine capacity?
It ships with one flush-fit, detachable box magazine that holds 4 rounds. Aftermarket 10-round magazines are available from Savage and third-party makers.
