Rifle de cerrojo SAVAGE 110 Ultralite - 300 WSM

The SAVAGE 110 ULTRALITE is another of the references of the American manufacturer designed for the modality of mountain recesses, for those hunters who value a light rifle for their physical conditions or simply for personal preferences. To this end, a basic model of the 110 series has been left and he has been subjected to a thinning cure using different techniques and technology.

This SAVAGE 110 ULTRALITE throws a weight in the scale of 2.66 Kg, fry for example at 3.66 Kg of a CLASSIC model. It is evident that it is a very content weight rifle and that a good reduction work has been done in it, which makes this rifle very comfortable to carry. To achieve this figure, different aspects of the rifle have been modified, the first to point out and the newest, is the cannon. It is a stainless steel cannon wrapped in carbon fiber from the Proof Research house. These cannons are known for their consistency in groupings and precision. The carbon wrapper allows cannons to take advantage of the properties of a larger barrel, while they are much lighter and cool faster than their steel equivalent. Using carbon fiber, the cannon weighs up to 64% less than the same in steel.

With respect to the length of the same, it varies depending on the cartridge used, it goes from 22” (559 mm) to 24” (610 mm), that yes, whatever it is, at its end they are threaded with a step of standardized thread to 5/8"x 24 with thread cover, for those who want to install a mouth brake or suppressor, in those places where the legislation permits it. Another feature that has been worked especially for weight reduction is action. The standard 110 model action is quite thick and robust. What has allowed engineers SAVAGE remove enough material using milling techniques. This has changed the rounded forms of the standard action, remember that it is machined from a round bar, by an action of straight shapes and skeleton look.

As for the material and finished it, it is made of stainless steel treated externally with “melonite”, which makes it especially resistant to any weather and scratches. The manufacturer indicates that, to improve accuracy, the actions in this model are hand-adjusted in factory. In addition, in view of the mounting of the relevant viewer, it should be noted that the action is perforated and broken for mounts using the screw size 8-40, larger than the standard.

Also the lock has been worked on weight reduction by means of a striated seen in other models. There are eight deep stretches that are blackened to contrast with the polished body of the lock. This technique collaterally reduces the friction of it during its drive, making it smoother in its handling.

As we have commented on other occasions, the action and its floating head lock ensures that it can be self-centered during the blockade, leaning evenly in the hole of the action and making the eye of the lock full contact with the entire head of the cartridge. The union between the cannon and the action is done by a nutshell, a solution that may be aesthetically questionable for some users, but which technically allows a very precise “headspace”.

As for the rest of its features, we will begin with the tin, which in a rifle with a reduced weight vocation is logically grey polymer. In addition, it incorporates the AccuFit system, which allows users to customize the length of it and the height of the carrilla. For the first, four different spacers are provided, for the second, with five different carrillas. To achieve the desired configuration, only a flat-head screwdriver is required.

All this is finished with a mulled cantonera with good absorption of the regress. The canopy counts on gunshots and keepers with stretch marks and textures placed right where the hands of the shooter are usually placed, in order to ensure their grip. In this rifle the removable charger is two to four rounds, depending on the caliber used. This is polymer and metal, remaining at the sole of the ventral part of the culata. It has a built-in release closure that is really easy to operate.

The trigger is the ACCUTRIGER, one of the best standard triggers on the market, which is visually characterized by the security tab that displays the trigger. Its behavior is excellent, ultra-cut and breakage as a glass rod. It provides a sharp shot, which is valid even for accurate shooting. Due to the safety in the tail of the trigger, his behavior resembles a false two times. Moreover it supports easy regulation by the user, in this case and for this model from 0,680 Kg (1,5 pounds) to 1,81 Kg (4 pounds).

The trigger insurance is complemented by a manual after-action insurance which therefore guarantees ambidiestro access. This has three positions, safe position in which lock and trigger are blocked; partly secure position, where the lock can be operated, but the trigger is blocked; and finally fire position, where lock and trigger can be activated, in this last position there is a visual indication of a red point. To say on the other hand, which is quite silent, a characteristic especially interesting from the kinegetic point of view.

In short, it is a very light, compact, well designed and well thought rifle, which works as a good rifle for the most demanding recesses or for those looking for a comfortable and ergonomic rifle. Its new cannon wrapped in carbon fiber is precise and constant in the groupings.
