Savage Model 110

The model variants included the first left-handed rifle to be made "in volume" by a major firearms manufacturer.

The Model 110 was developed to give the hunters a strong and powerful yet light and affordable rifle.

When Savage Arms filed for bankruptcy in 1988, the firm cut its product line down to only the most basic Model 110 rifles.

The design has since succeeded in bringing the company back to life as one of the largest bolt-action rifle makers in America.

Addressing concerns about what was considered by many to be a weak point of the design, Savage introduced the AccuTrigger for the 110 series in 2003.

Those rifles equipped with an AccuTrigger are adjustable by the end user through the turning of a single screw, offering a pull weight from 680 to 2,700 g (1.5 to 6 lb).

[4][5] Many small arms produced by Savage such as the Model 110, have been used by soldiers in Ukraine during its 2022 conflict with Russia.

This system allows barrels to be changed or headspace to be adjusted relatively easily, making for an extremely accurate yet inexpensive rifle.

The bolt head of the Model 110 is a "floating" design: A flat spring located behind the front baffle and bolt head assembly gives the assembly a small amount of free movement lateral to the bore axis.

The safety is a three-position type, mounted in an ambidextrous position on the receiver tang, behind the bolt.

The bolt-release lever is located on the right side of the action (on right-handed models) behind the ejection port.

The Varmint is equipped with both AccuTrigger and AccuStock features; This allows shooters to personalize trigger-pull weight, stock comb height, and length of pull.
