Gun Review: The New Savage High Country 110

Building on its growing family of AccuStock, AccuFit, AccuTrigger outfitted Model 110 bolt actions, Savage has produced its crown jewel for hardcore hunters. All metalwork is stainless steel and coated with Coyote Brown PVD, a coating thought superior to Cerakote. At only 2-4 microns thick, PVD can be used on parts with extremely tight tolerances. A spiral fluted bolt and barrel are classy touches that go beyond the aesthetic to both shave weight and aid in heat dissipation. The True Timber Strata camouflaged stock makes use of the adjustable AccuFit system for both comb and LOP customization. Savage’s AccuTrigger is user adjustable, and the AccuStock means there’s an internal chassis supporting the action for unprecedented factory performance and downrange accuracy. Depending upon caliber, the heavy contour barrels are either 22-inch or 24-inch and topped with a threaded muzzle. Magnum calibers include a muzzle brake. The initial run of High Country rifles will include eleven calibers: .243 Win, .308 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .270 Win, .280 Ackley Improved, .30-06 Spfld, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, and .300 WSM. Regardless of caliber, the detachable box magazine holds four rounds and carries the same suggested retail price of $1,129, though real-world prices are already under a grand.
