I’ve never been a big fan of the Scout Rifle concept. But it’s nothing to write home about, either. That’s not terrible, especially for a cheap low power scope in a budget priced rifle. The best group I could get out of the Model 110 Scout was this one using Federal Gold Medal Match. The scope never actually made it all the way to a proper zero, bottoming out the turrets an inch from where I needed it, but it was good enough for an accuracy test. I slapped a 2.5x Leupold scope Jeremy had laying around on the gun and after a quick “battlefield zero” I was on paper. Even then, that’s a very minor gripe on an otherwise fantastic shooting firearm.Īs for accuracy, it’s…okay. This could be due to this being factory-fresh rifle that needs some break-in time (or more lube) so your mileage may vary. I noticed a bit of an issue when working the rifle’s action - the bolt has a tendency to stick just a lbit when cycling. The cushy recoil pad combined with the rather massive muzzle brake means there’s only slightly more recoil than a rimfire rifle.
The insert panels on the forend and the grip make the gun very comfortable to hold even under recoil, and the adjustable bits all feel extremely solid. That’s all great, but how does the 110 Scout work on the range? That means it feels solid as a rock and won’t move even under extreme stress. It’s a far more solid and secure method than the old screw-adjustable system. Re-attach the recoil pad and you’re go to go It’s a solid piece of plastic that’s firmly attached to the stock - you need to un-screw the recoil pad, remove any spacers, and then slide in the cheek riser of your choice. On this latest version, the cheek riser is an integral part the whole. It had a tendency to shift around and generally be more annoying than useful. The cheek rise, on the other hand, was the same quick adjustment version we’ve seen on other rifles using a polymer panel and some finger adjustable knobs. The length of pull adjustment was good, using spacers and different sized screws to provide a solid platform. The Savage Scout 110 was re-introduced in 2015 with a stock designed to be adjustable for length of pull and cheek rise height. And being able to have multiple mags loaded and ready to go just makes me happy.īut let’s get to the new feature being released with this rifle: that AccuFit stock. Loading through the ejection port is so 1890’s. I really appreciate detachable magazines becoming more common in bolt action rifles.
One Magpul 10-round magazine is included in the box with the Model 110 Scout. Only a couple years ago this would have meant massively expensive replacements were your only option, but both Magpul and MDT now make replacement polymer mags for pennies on the dollar compared to Accuracy International-made magainzes. The action is designed to take standard detachable AICS magazines. I’m a pretty big fan of their trigger system, as it gives all the feel and accuracy of a two stage trigger with the simplicity and price of a single stage trigger. The rifle features their usual action, centerline thumb safety, and their justifiably acclaimed adjustable AccuTrigger. On the other side of the chamber is Savage’s stock in trade (pun not necessarily intended). That’s great for improving the accuracy of the firearm, and something you don’t usually see on the lower end synthetic stocks.
While the stock is synthetic, it still remains stiff enough to allow the barrel to freely float without touching the stock at all. I’m a fan of including iron sights on working guns - just in case the optics are damaged, you still have an option to finish the mission at hand.įurther up the barrel we start to see the benefits of the new AccuFit. Just behind the threading is a nice fixed blade front sight. Options include flash hiders, soda can launchers, and the ever-popular silencer. Or, if you want something better, you can always crank it off and slap on the muzzle device of your choice. 308 Winchester round, even when firing the rifle from the standing position. Starting out at the front of the gun there’s a rather large muzzle brake that does a great job soaking up the recoil of the. Savage follows Cooper’s formula with their Model 110 Scout, and while I can’t say I fell in love with the optics I do very much like how everything else goes together.
