Savage 110 Scout Features Cutting a bolt gun down to a 38.5 overall length changes how it carries and how it comes up and at 7.2 lbs this rifle can be worked one-handed through brush or across a saddle where a full-length sporter fights back. The 1:9 twist is well matched to the mid-weight bullets most shooters run in .223 Rem and a button-rifled bore is the process Savage uses to hold consistent dimensions from breech to muzzle. A muzzle brake on an already mild cartridge keeps muzzle rise to almost nothing so a shooter can watch impacts through the sights rather than losing the target on every shot. For the predator hunter or ranch shooter who needs a fast second shot that combination of short length and flat recoil is the whole argument for the rifle. The scout layout puts adjustable iron sights on the barrel and a rail forward of the action which leaves the top of the receiver open so a shooter can top off the magazine or clear the chamber without reaching around a scope tube. Those irons are a genuine primary sighting system rather than a backup ready to use the instant the rifle comes out of a case and the forward rail accepts an optic mounted far enough ahead to keep that clear loading path. The Magpul AICS-style detachable box magazine holds 10 rounds and drops free for a fast reload instead of being fed one round at a time through the top. For the hunter working thick country where shots come quickly and at short range that sighting and feeding arrangement is faster than a conventional scoped sporter. The synthetic stock is finished in Flat Dark Earth with soft grip surfaces molded into the fore-end and pistol grip which gives a secure hold in rain snow or with cold hands and takes some of the sting out of a hard-used rifle. Synthetic construction also means the stock will not swell or shift with humidity the way wood can keeping the rifle honest through a season of weather. Matte black metalwork under it stays glare-free in the field an advantage when the sun is low and the target is watching. For the hunter or truck-gun owner who wants a compact low-recoil bolt action ready to work straight out of the box the Savage 110 Scout in .223 Rem is available for sale at GrabAGun.
