The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .400 Legend Rifle w/ 3-9×40 Scope delivers a factory-matched hunting package built for terminal performance on medium game at practical ranges. Chambered in .400 Legend, this bolt-action pairs Savage’s proven Model 110 platform with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm optic, bore-sighted at the factory. The synthetic sporter stock features an adjustable length of pull to ensure consistent cheek weld and trigger reach. This is a purpose-built field rifle for shooters who demand accuracy without the added cost of aftermarket glass.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger System — Why it matters: Adjustable pull weight (2.5–6 lbs) eliminates creep and overtravel, giving you a clean break for tighter groups in field conditions.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope — Why it matters: Fully multi-coated lenses deliver bright, clear sight pictures in low light, and the dead-hold BDC reticle allows precise holdovers without dialing.
- Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) — Why it matters: The synthetic stock adjusts from 12.5 to 14.5 inches, so shooters of varying builds get a consistent cheek weld and proper eye relief.
- .400 Legend Chambering — Why it matters: This straight-wall cartridge delivers .40-caliber energy out to 250 yards with less recoil than .450 Bushmaster, making it ideal for deer and hogs in restricted zones.
- Factory Bore-Sighted Scope — Why it matters: The optic is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory, reducing initial setup time to a few clicks at the range.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for law enforcement personnel, military veterans, and serious hunters who need a reliable bolt-action for medium game at moderate ranges. It suits shooters in straight-wall cartridge states who want a package that’s ready to hunt out of the box without aftermarket modifications.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger delivers a crisp, adjustable pull out of the box — no aftermarket trigger needed.
- Pro: Vortex Crossfire II scope provides reliable performance for the price point.
- Pro: .400 Legend offers flat trajectory and good energy retention for a straight-wall cartridge.
- Con: Factory bore-sighting gets you on paper, but expect 2–4 inches of adjustment at 100 yards for final zero. According to Savage Arms specs, the scope is pre-sighted to within 3 inches at 50 yards.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the .400 Legend with this rifle?
The .400 Legend retains sufficient energy for deer-sized game out to 250 yards with proper bullet selection. The Vortex 3-9x scope allows precise shots at that distance.
Does the AccuTrigger require tools to adjust?
No. The AccuTrigger uses a simple pull-weight adjustment screw accessed through the trigger guard. No special tools required — just a small Allen wrench (included).
Can I mount a different scope on this rifle?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage 110 short-action scope bases. The Vortex scope uses standard 1-inch rings, so you can swap optics without modifying the rifle.
Is the .400 Legend legal for hunting in all states?
.400 Legend is a straight-wall cartridge and legal in most states with straight-wall restrictions (e.g., Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania). Always verify local regulations before hunting.
