Savage 11/110

     Notes: This is an American-made bolt-action rifle, related to the Model 11. It features a floating barrel with a Monte Carlo cheekpiece, and is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. A left-handed version is available.

Model 10 Predator Hunter Brush

     Notes: The most striking feature of this rifle is the finish – a matte tan brush pattern for the stock as well as all exposed metalwork.  Under that finish is a synthetic stock with a light olive recoil pad on the butt, and carbon steel metalwork.  The Predator Hunter Brush has an AccuTrigger pack, but has no iron sights nor a scope (though it is drilled and tapped for scope mounts).  The 22” barrel is tapered as well as having the standard floating barrel.  A detachable box magazine is used.  The Predator Hunter Brush is essentially by chambering a varmint rifle, and would have a hard time taking down a deer, let alone any dangerous predator.

     The Predator Hunter Max 1 – well, that is a different animal.  The basic design is almost the same at that of the Predator Hunter Brush, but much of the line is chambered for light magnum cartridges.  Thus, they are capable of taking down heavier game.  Though some police departments use then as sniper’s weapons or marksman’s weapons in small quantities, the oddball selection of chamberings makes this largely undesirable to most organized activity.  As said, construction is similar to the Predator Hunter Brush, including the Brush finish, but the barrel is 24 inches, heavy, and fluted; the magazine capacity is also smaller.  The rifle comes in left and right-handed versions.

Model 10FP

     Notes: Based on the Model 110FP, the Model 10FP has seven variants is meant primarily for Law Enforcement use, though they are also available to civilians.  Base features of the Model 10FP series include the AccuTrigger, a two-stage trigger which is adjustable for pull weight (from 1.5 to 6 pounds) and takeup, along with a passive trigger block safety known as the Safety Blade.  The lockup time is only 1.6 milliseconds. Other base features include a matte blued barreled action, a heavy-profile, free-floating, and button-rifled barrel, (with a target crown except on those who have threaded muzzles), an oversized bolt handle, an internal non-detachable box magazine, and three sling swivel studs (one at the bottom end of the handguard and two on the stock), allowing for tactical and standard sling placement.  The Model 10FP is similar to the Model 110FP, differing only in the mix of calibers used, and further differentiated by short-action versions for cartridges like the .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO and long-action versions for cartridges like the .30-06 Springfield.  The Model 10FP uses a rotating bolt action with dual-lug bolts, and some are available in left-hand versions.

     A further base version is the Model 10FP.  This has black synthetic furniture of the standard type, with a long, finger-groove fore-end and a standard sort of stock, Barrel lengths come in 20 and 24 inches, and due to the caliber mix, they are designed primarily for short-to-medium-range hunting or use as a police patrol/emergency sniping rifle.  They are drilled and tapped for a scope or scope rail (Picatinny or Weaver rail).  The Model 10FP comes in a left-handed version, but only with a 24-inch barrel.

     The Model 10FP Choate uses, as the name indicates, a Choate Ultimate Varmint black synthetic stock which is skeletonized with a pistol grip and adjustable for cheek height and length of pull, as well as having a recoil pad on the butt.  Atop the receiver is a Picatinny Rail; this is removable, and reveals standard drilling and tapping for scope mounts. The barrel length is 26 inches.  The Model 10FP Folding Choate, also called the Model 10FPLE Folding Choate, uses the same stock on folding receiver lugs (folds to the right), and reduces the barrel length to 20 inches.  It is intended for compact storage as well as clandestine tactical carriage and deployment, and comes with a suitcase-like case which includes space for the folded rifle, a bipod, a standard box of ammunition, a muzzle device (usually a suppressor) and a scope or other optical device. (It comes with the case, not all the accouterments.)  Both have a threaded muzzle for various types and makes of muzzle devices.

     The Model 10FP McMillan differs from the Model 10FP primarily in the use of a lightweight McMillan stock, though the Model 10FP McMillan is also equipped with a light bipod and the stock has an adjustable cheekpiece and a recoil pad on the butt.  Barrel length is 24 inches.

     The Model 10FP HS Precision has an H-S Precision stock, which is adjustable for drop, length of pull, angle of buttplate, and cheek height.  It has a recoil pad on the butt. Barrel length is 26 inches. It is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and a Picatinny or Weaver rail may be attached to these points. The Model 10FPXP is similar, but adds a standard Farrel Picatinny Rail, a lightweight Harris bipod, and a Leupold 3.5-10x40 scope with a Mil Dot reticle.  These two are primarily designed as police and military sniping rifles, though they are available to civilians; they may be treated as sniper rifles for game purposes.

Model 10XP

     The Model 10XP is designed for civilian hunters, with a secondary use of the design by police snipers and marksmen.  Virtually the entire rifle, including the included scope and external metalwork, is fully camouflaged in a matte brush pattern or a snow pattern. The stock is synthetic, and the 22-inch barrel match-quality heavy-profile carbon steel.  One of the few areas not camouflaged is the olive drab recoil pad on the butt.  The Model 10XP is equipped with Savage’s AccuTrigger.  No iron sights are provided, but included with the rifle at purchase a 4-12x40 scope, mounted and boresighted.  The Model 10XP is equipped with an internal magazine.

Model 110E

     The Model 110E was the first version; it was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1988.  The Model 110E originally had a plain hardwood stock with a Monte Carlo comb; in the 1980s, checkering was added to the pistol grip wrist and fore-end.  For most of its production history, the Model 110E was made only in .22-250, 5.56mm, and 7mm Magnum, but more chamberings were added in the 1970s and 1980s.  It uses a 22-inch barrel.  The Model 110EL was a left-handed version of the Model 110E; it was restricted to 7mm Magnum and .30-06, and was built only in small numbers.  (For game purposes, it is identical to the standard Model 110E in the same chamberings.)  The Model 110ES (also known as the Super Value) was sold under the Stevens name from 1981-85, and included a 4x telescopic sight and mounts, a hardwood stock with plain checkering, and a 22-inch tapered barrel with a folding leaf rear sight and drilling and tapping.  Soon after the introduction of the Model 110E, the Model 110M was announced; this is a magnum-firing version of the Model 110E, produced from 1963-73, and had a 24-inch barrel, a recoil pad on the butt, and an enlarged bolt-face recess and long action.  The Model 110ML is a left-handed version of the Model 110M, produced in the same chamberings as the Model 110M.

Model 110P

     From 1964-80, the Model 110P (Premier Grade) was produced; it was a deluxe version of the Model 110E.  It was chambered only in a few calibers, used a 24-inch barrel for the 7mm Magnum version, and had a French walnut stock with a half-length fore-end and a roll-over Monte Carlo comb.  The fore-end had a rosewood endcap, and the checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end had a skip-line pattern.  The Model 110PE Presentation Grade model is even more fancy than the Model 110P, with engraving on the receiver, trigger guard, magazine floorplate, and stock; and they rarely were fitted with iron sights (though they were always drilled and tapped).  They are otherwise identical for game purposes to the Model 110P.  While the Model 110PE is rare, the Model 110PEL left-handed version is virtually never seen.  The Model 110P also had a left-handed version, the Model 110PL. 

Model 110C

     The Model 110C was produced from 1966-86.  It is essentially a Model 110E with a detachable magazine and some improvements, most notably a new, more powerful extractor.  Most Model 110Cs have 22-inch barrels, but two chamberings (introduced in 1979) -- .22-250 and .25-06 – had 24-inch barrels in addition to 22-inch barrel versions.  (Neither of these 24-inch barrel versions proved popular; the .25-06 model was taken out of the line in 1982, and the .22-250 version was gone by 1985.)  The Model 110CL is a left-handed version of the Model 110C, restricted to .243, .270, 7mm Magnum, and .30-06.  The Model 110CY Youth rifle was introduced in 1992 and is still being produced; it has a shorter stock, but is otherwise identical to the Model 110C.  It was introduced in .243 and .250 Savage, but more chamberings were added as time went by, and the .250 Savage version was removed from the market in 1995.

     The Model 110D is similar to the Model 110C, but had a detachable floorplate enclosing a magazine.  It was produced from 1972-88, and had somewhat different chamberings than the Model 110E or 110C.  A left-handed model, the Model 110DL, was also produced.

     The Model 110V is a version of the Model 110D, but was a varmint rifle with a heavy 26-inch barrel that had no iron sights.  For most of its history, the Model 110V was chambered only for .22-250, but in 1986, a 5.56mm version was introduced, and then quickly withdrawn.  The Model 110V was built from 1983-94.

     From 1986-94, the limited-edition Model 110K was produced; it had a laminated camouflage-finish stock, was chambered only for .243, .270, 7mm Magnum, .30-06, and .338 Magnum, and is otherwise identical to the Model 110D.

Model 110B

     There were two versions called the Model 110B; the first one was produced from 1976-89.  It was basically a Model 110E with a select-quality walnut stock, and chambered only for .243, .270, 7mm Magnum, .30-06, and .338 Magnum.  It also had a left-handed version which was produced until 1991.  The second Model 110B was a variant of the Model 110G, produced from 1989-91; it had some extra chamberings, had a simple brown-stained hardwood stock with a non-slip rubber shoulder plate.  It was made only in small numbers.

Model 110S

     The Model 110S Silhouette rifle was built from 1978-94; it was chambered only for 7.62mm, and used a 22-inch heavy tapered barrel.  The stock had a high comb, and the pistol grip wrist was stippled instead of checkered. 

Model 110F

     The Model 110F was produced from 1987-94.  It used a straight-comb black Rynite stock, but was otherwise similar to the other Model 110 rifles of the time.  Variants included the left-handed Model 110FL.  The Model 110FP Police rifle was introduced in 1990 and is still being produced; it has a 24-inch barrel, a non-reflective finish for the metalwork.  In 1995, the initial Model 110FP was replaced by the Model 110FP Police Tactical rifle; this version has a graphite/fiberglass stock with a glass fiber barrel bedding system, sling swivels, and more chamberings (the first version of the Model 110FP was chambered only in 5.56mm and 7.62mm).  The Model 110FL is a left-handed variant of the Model 110F; the Model 110FLP is a left-handed variant of the Model 110FP (and is still being produced.  The Model 110FNS has no iron sights, but is otherwise identical to the Model 110F.  The Model 110FX is also virtually identical to the Model 110F, but has a Weaver sight base machined integral to the receiver.  The Model 110FM, also known as the Sierra, has the graphite/fiberglass composite stock, but only a 20-inch tapered barrel, and is much lighter than the standard Model 110F.

Model 110G

     The Model 110G was produced from 1989-94.  The rifle used a 22-inch barrel for standard chamberings, and a 24-inch barrel for magnum chamberings.  The stock was of beech, with a non-slip rubber buttplate.  One of the chamberings was .300 Savage, but after numerous complaints about cracked stocks, this chambering was withdrawn in 1995, after two years.  The Model 110G had an internal magazine, but the Model 110GC, produced from 1992-94, had a detachable box magazine.  The Model 110GL was the left-handed version.  The Model 110 GNS and GLNS were versions of the standard and left-handed models with no iron sights.  These two rifles in addition to the Model 110GL were restricted to .270 Winchester, 7mm Magnum, and .30-06.  The Model 110GV is a varmint rifle version with a heavy barrel.  The Model 110GX is a version of the standard Model 110G with a Weaver scope base.  The Model 110WLE (also known as the One in a Thousand series) is a special version of the Model 110G, with a select-quality walnut stock, a laser-etched Savage logo on the bolt, and a stock strong enough to use .250 and .300 Savage rounds.  It is otherwise identical to the Model 110G for game purposes.
