The Savage 110 Hunter .204 Ruger 22” Gray Synthetic is a production-grade bolt-action rifle built for precision varmint control and mid-range hunting. Chambered in .204 Ruger, it delivers a 4,225 fps muzzle velocity with 32-grain projectiles, providing a flat trajectory out to 400 yards. The rifle integrates Savage’s proprietary AccuTrigger, AccuStock, and AccuFit systems into a single platform, eliminating the need for aftermarket bedding or trigger work.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger — User-adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs without tools. Why it matters: eliminates creep and over-travel, giving you a clean, repeatable break for consistent shot placement on moving varmints.
- AccuStock — Aluminum chassis embedded in the synthetic stock. Why it matters: provides a rigid bedding surface that maintains zero across temperature swings and rough field use, comparable to a custom chassis system.
- AccuFit System — Interchangeable length-of-pull spacers and comb risers. Why it matters: allows shooters to adjust fit for optics and body type without removing the stock or visiting a gunsmith.
- 22” Button-Rifled Barrel — Free-floated, carbon steel with a 1:10 twist rate. Why it matters: optimizes .204 Ruger’s light, high-BC bullets for maximum velocity retention and sub-MOA accuracy potential.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver — Factory-machined #6-48 holes. Why it matters: accepts standard one-piece scope bases, allowing direct mounting of optics without gunsmithing.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for varmint hunters and precision shooters who need a flat-shooting, low-recoil platform for coyotes, prairie dogs, and ground squirrels at ranges from 100 to 500 yards. It suits law enforcement snipers requiring a lightweight patrol rifle for pest control, and military personnel training on intermediate-range precision. The .204 Ruger’s low recoil makes it effective for shooters transitioning from rimfire to centerfire.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Adjustable trigger and stock system out of the box, saving $200+ in aftermarket parts.
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee from Savage with match ammunition.
- Con: The synthetic stock feels hollow and flexes under heavy bipod load compared to laminate or aluminum chassis alternatives. Per Savage specs, the AccuStock mitigates this, but users report a 0.2 MOA shift when using a Harris bipod at full tension.

FAQ
What optics base does the Savage 110 Hunter use?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for #6-48 screws, compatible with Savage short-action one-piece bases (e.g., DNZ Game Reaper or EGW). You will need a scope with at least 40mm objective clearance due to the AccuStock comb height.
Does the AccuTrigger require a gunsmith to adjust?
No. Use a 1/16” Allen wrench to turn the adjustment screw inside the trigger housing. Turn clockwise to increase pull weight, counterclockwise to decrease. Test with a trigger pull gauge after each adjustment.
Is .204 Ruger good for deer hunting?
No. .204 Ruger is a varmint cartridge with 32- to 40-grain bullets. It lacks the energy and penetration for ethical deer harvest. Use it for coyotes, prairie dogs, and groundhogs only.
Can I use .223 Remington in this rifle?
No. The chamber is cut specifically for .204 Ruger. Do not attempt to chamber other cartridges. Barrel twist is 1:10, optimized for .204 Ruger’s 32- to 40-grain projectiles.
Does the stock accept a detachable box magazine?
No. The 110 Hunter uses a fixed internal box magazine with a capacity of 4 rounds. Detachable magazine conversions from aftermarket sources are available but not factory-supported.
