The Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite in 7mm Rem Mag with a Hogue stock is a production-grade bolt-action rifle engineered for backcountry hunting and extended field exposure. It pairs a Cerakote-finished barreled action with a Hogue overmolded synthetic stock to deliver consistent accuracy in wet, cold, or dusty conditions. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, this rifle provides sufficient energy for elk, mule deer, and similar game at ranges beyond 400 yards. The package includes an adjustable AccuTrigger, a fluted and threaded heavy sporter barrel, a detachable box magazine, and a 3-position tang safety. Two-piece Weaver-style bases and sling swivel studs ship standard. This is a no-nonsense field rifle for hunters who prioritize reliability and repeatable precision over cosmetic upgrades.

Key Features
- Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion-resistant coating protects the barrel and receiver from moisture, salt, and abrasion during extended field use, reducing maintenance time between hunts.
- Adjustable AccuTrigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Allows the shooter to tune trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, enabling a consistent, crisp break for long-range precision.
- Fluted and Threaded Heavy Sporter Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting reduces barrel weight while increasing surface area for heat dissipation; threading (5/8×24) accepts muzzle brakes or suppressors for recoil management and signature reduction.
- Hogue Overmolded Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: Soft-touch rubberized surface provides a positive grip in wet or gloved conditions, while the aluminum pillar bedding maintains receiver-to-stock alignment for repeatable accuracy.
- 3-Position Tang Safety — WHY IT MATTERS: Allows the shooter to lock the bolt, cycle the bolt with the safety engaged, or fire—critical for safe loading/unloading in the field.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who needs a lightweight, weather-resistant platform for high-country glassing and walking. It suits law enforcement personnel who require a backup precision rifle for training or duty use. It also appeals to the serious shooter who wants a 7mm Rem Mag with modern features—like a threaded barrel and adjustable trigger—without paying custom-gun prices.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger is factory-tuned and user-adjustable, eliminating the need for aftermarket trigger work.
- Pro: Cerakote finish is standard, not an upgrade—saves you $100+ in refinishing costs.
- Pro: Hogue stock offers superior grip over traditional synthetic stocks in rain or snow.
- Con: The Hogue stock is flexible under heavy bipod load—shooters using a bipod should verify torque settings on the action screws.
- Con: The two-piece Weaver bases supplied are functional but not optimized for modern 20-MOA rail setups; long-range shooters should plan to replace them.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite in 7mm Rem Mag?
The factory twist rate is 1:9.25 inches, per Savage Arms specs. This stabilizes standard 140- to 175-grain 7mm bullets effectively for hunting and long-range shooting.
Can I mount a scope directly to this rifle?
Yes. The rifle ships with two-piece Weaver-style bases installed. You will need scope rings compatible with Weaver-style bases to mount your optic. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110 patterns.

Yes. The 110 Trail Hunter Lite uses the same action footprint as other Savage 110 short-action models. Stocks, triggers, and bottom metal from major manufacturers (e.g., Boyd’s, MDT, KRG) are compatible, though barrel swaps require a Savage barrel nut tool.
Is the 7mm Rem Mag suitable for elk hunting?
Yes. The 7mm Rem Mag delivers approximately 3,200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy with 160-grain bullets, making it adequate for elk, moose, and black bear at distances up to 500 yards when using premium bonded or monolithic projectiles.
