Overview
The Savage 110 Ultralite is an ultralight bolt-action hunting rifle designed for backcountry and mountain hunting, weighing just 5 lbs 13 oz. Built on Savage's factory-blueprinted 110 action, the rifle features a PROOF Research carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel that delivers match-grade accuracy at roughly half the weight of a conventional steel barrel. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable and incorporates a center-mounted blade safety that prevents accidental discharge. Available in calibers from 6.5 Creedmoor to .28 Nosler, the Ultralite pairs lightweight portability with the accuracy Savage shooters expect, backed by a sub-MOA guarantee with quality ammunition.

Notes
The PROOF Research barrel is button-rifled stainless steel wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, featuring an 11-degree target crown. The spiral-fluted bolt body reduces weight and enhances bolt manipulation. The carbon fiber stock incorporates a synthetic raised comb and Accufit system for length-of-pull adjustment. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 for suppressor compatibility. Despite its light weight, the rifle maintains excellent accuracy due to the inherent stiffness of the carbon fiber barrel wrapping.
Background
The Savage 110 Ultralite was designed to address the booming demand for sub-6-pound mountain rifles, partnering with PROOF Research to deliver carbon fiber barrel technology at a price point well below competitors like Christensen Arms, making ultralight precision accessible to a broader market of backcountry hunters.
