About
What it is, and why it matters
The Savage 110 Ultralite is an ultralight bolt-action hunting rifle designed for backcountry and mountain hunting, weighing just 5 lbs 13 oz. Built on Savage's factory-blueprinted 110 action, the rifle features a PROOF Research carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel that delivers match-grade accuracy at roughly half the weight of a conventional steel barrel. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable and incorporates a center-mounted blade safety that prevents accidental discharge. Available in calibers from 6.5 Creedmoor to .28 Nosler, the Ultralite pairs lightweight portability with the accuracy Savage shooters expect, backed by a sub-MOA guarantee with quality ammunition.
The Savage 110 Ultralite was designed to address the booming demand for sub-6-pound mountain rifles, partnering with PROOF Research to deliver carbon fiber barrel technology at a price point well below competitors like Christensen Arms, making ultralight precision accessible to a broader market of backcountry hunters.
The PROOF Research barrel is button-rifled stainless steel wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, featuring an 11-degree target crown. The spiral-fluted bolt body reduces weight and enhances bolt manipulation. The carbon fiber stock incorporates a synthetic raised comb and Accufit system for length-of-pull adjustment. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 for suppressor compatibility. Despite its light weight, the rifle maintains excellent accuracy due to the inherent stiffness of the carbon fiber barrel wrapping.
