Savage recently announced an expansion of the Model 110 series. Now, it includes 22 long rifle (LR) rimfire offerings. The Model 110 RF models are built on Savage’s 110 platform. These full-size platforms are designed to be Savage’s most accurate rimfire rifles to date. Now, get it in one of three rifles to be a part of its new line of rimfire rifles built on the 110 platform.
“The introduction of rimfire to the legendary Model 110 platform is long overdue, and we’re excited to offer Savage’s trusted performance to rimfire enthusiasts everywhere,” said Beth Shimanski, Vice President of Marketing at Savage Arms. “The new Model 110 RF series is one of the only offerings that does not just mimic a centerfire rifle, but truly adapts the traditional frame for rimfire shooting.”
The Next Generation of the Savage 110 Rifle [Geared for the Hunt]
This rifle just feels amazing on the shoulder, against the cheek, and in the hands.
Standout features:
- Compatibility with stocks and accessories designed for the Savage Model 110 short-action rifle (great customization options).
- The bolt incorporates the same headspace control as the traditional Model 110 (enhanced safety and performance).
- A newly designed reversible front baffle allows users to adjust the bolt throw length in under 30 seconds (offering configurations for both traditional short action and shortened 22LR lengths).
- A front locking bolt head to produce the highest level of accuracy possible.
- Threaded, precision buttoned rifled barrels with a custom 22LR match chamber (further ensuring down-range performance).
- The bolt features a standard 5/16” x 24 threaded bolt handle and is compatible with aftermarket bolt knobs.
- It comes standard with the AccuTrigger.
- All Model 110 RF models come equipped with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail to mount optics.
- The L3i Elite 10-round AICS-style magazine (more reliable feeding) with an adjustable latch (allows for slight adjustments to how the magazine sits).
The Model 110 RF is ideal for various applications:
- Competitive shooting
- Training purposes
- Small game hunting
- Recreational shooting
How to Aim Your Gun
That's about as beautiful as metal and plastic can be.
Interestingly, the new Model 110 RF models are designed to operate as similarly to a centerfire rifle as possible. And for those who want something with a bit more pizazz, go for the 110 RF Core Tactical.
“With the 110 RF Core Tactical, we wanted to deliver the full experience of a Savage 110 in a rimfire platform,” said RJ Contorno, Senior Product Manager at Savage Arms. “From the updated stock to the interchangeable bolt baffle, every detail was designed to give shooters a premium, precision-focused rifle that feels familiar, shoots exceptionally well, and stands apart in the rimfire market.”
Features to cherish and love:
- The new Quick Set Dial (shooters can now expect a full-length stock with a comfortable comb and adjustable length of pull).
- The integrated, toolless design (allows shooters to fine-tune the stock in the field).
- The interchangeable, reversible front baffle (allows the user to swap the bolt throw length, switching between a short 22LR length and standard 308 Winchester length).
- A precision buttoned rifled barrel, with custom 22 LR Match Chambers.
- Custom barrels are paired with a Front Locking Bolt Head (to produce the best recipe for down-range accuracy and performance).
