The first thing I would like to lead this off with is that we purchased this gear ourselves, which wasn’t given to us. It wasn’t loaned to us. We spent real USD to get it.
Review: Savage Elite Precision 110 in 6.5 Creedmoor
If you’re on the hunt for a rifle that combines precision, versatility, and power, look no further than the Savage Elite Precision 110 in 6.5 Creedmoor. This rifle is designed to offer top-tier performance straight out of the box, making it a favorite among both novice and experienced shooters. Let’s dive into the key features and our firsthand experience with this impressive firearm.
Built-in ACRA Rail and M-LOK Attachment Points
One of the standout features of the Savage Elite Precision 110 is its built-in ACRA rail, providing a stable and consistent mounting platform for optics and other accessories. Coupled with numerous M-LOK attachment points, this rifle offers unparalleled customization options. The M-LOK and ACRA RAIL system ensures a secure and flexible attachment, whether adding a bipod, a sling, or other tactical gear.
Trigger Performance
Out of the box, we measured the trigger pull weight at an impressive 23 ounces (1 lb 7 oz) using a Wheeler gauge. This light and crisp trigger is ideal for precision shooting, allowing for minimal effort and maximum control. Savage’s attention to trigger quality ensures consistent and reliable shots every time. Aftermarket triggers are available for a sub-16 oz pull, but that can be a little overwhelming for most people who are getting an entry-level PRS rifle.
Optics Setup
We opted for the budget-friendly Presidio 5-30×56 LR2 Rifle Scope FFP, mounted using a Riton one-piece mount. This combination proved to be both practical and economical. During our sighting-in process, we followed a shot-clean procedure for the first ten rounds, which helped ensure the barrel’s longevity and accuracy. The rifle was on paper immediately, indicating that the scope and the rifle were extremely close to mechanical zero, requiring only about 6 inches of elevation correction.
Ammo Performance
We tested three types of ammunition:
- Seller & Bellot 142gr Precision Rifle
- Norma Golden Target 130gr
- Norma Whitetail 140gr
All performed admirably, especially considering this was a brand-new rifle. The Seller & Bellot 142gr ammo stood out for its accuracy, while the Norma Whitetail 140gr showcased its effectiveness in hunting scenarios. We successfully harvested a button buck at 64 yards with the Norma Whitetail, and it also impressed us by making a NICE CRATER on a Kodiak truck flywheel at 115 yards used as a target.
Overall Experience
With the rifle itself weighing just over 12 lbs, and our entire setup coming in at just under 15 lbs, this loadout is both manageable and robust. Notably, this setup is a sub $3,000 entry into the precision rifle world, including the scope and mount. For the price point, the Savage Elite Precision 110 performs extremely well, making it an accessible option for those looking to dive into precision shooting without breaking the bank.
Additionally, the rifle comes with what seems to be a pretty efficient compensator. While we didn’t perform any slow-motion or paper tests to assess its efficiency with different ammo, that might be another blog post!
Conclusion
The Savage Elite Precision 110 in 6.5 Creedmoor is a standout choice for anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience. Its built-in ACRA rail and M-LOK attachment points offer extensive customization options, while the light trigger pull ensures precise and controlled shooting. Our optic setup with the Presidio 5-30×56 LR2 Rifle Scope FFP and Riton mount proved to be a solid, budget-friendly combination. With excellent performance across different types of ammunition, this rifle is versatile enough for both target shooting and hunting.
WE HAVE PLANS TO TEST THIS RIFLE AT 600yds & 1000yds
The Savage Elite Precision 110 is a versatile, high-performance rifle that delivers on its promises. Whether you’re looking to compete or hunt, this rifle is well-equipped to handle the task. Happy shooting! 🏆🔫
