RIFLE SAVAGE110 ELITE PRECISION 338 LAPUA

The rifle SAVAGE 110 Elite Precision is not the first SAVAGE lock with light alloy chassis, 10 BA Stealth Ashbury and 110 BA Stealth Drake models are their background. But the 110 Elite Precision, presented at the Shot Show this year 2020, is a new step forward in precision tactical and sporting rifles. Based on the M110 lock action and the experience gained in long distance competitions, where SAVAGE is an event sponsor such as the GAP Grind / Bushnell PRO / AM, the American manufacturer has designed a tactical and sporting rifle tailored to sports shooting competitions, such as the Precision Rifle Series (PRS).

It is not a light rifle, it is a model with an online weight with other specialized rifles of this type, its total weight is 6.80 Kg (15 pounds) in 338 Lapua Magnum caliber. It has a floating contour cannon type "Palma" modified in stainless steel, with a length of 30" (762 mm). The "Palma" contour is a double cone contour, designed to reduce the weight of the barrel. It has a step of estria designed specifically to obtain the highest precision of high ballistic coefficient (CB).

The cannon is attached to the action using a nut system, a design dating from 1958, this provides an exact "headspace" that positively results in the precision of the weapon. The good features of this action make several manufacturers and companies dedicated to the manufacture of custom rifles, trust it. As for the material and finish of the action, this is stainless steel treated externally with “melonite”, which makes it especially resistant to any weather and scratches. On the same comes from series a picatinny rail with 20 MOAs of inclination.

The lock is of two tiles, unlike other rifles with fixed lock heads, the lock head of the SAVAGE it is floating, allowing the locking buttons to be supported evenly in the hole of the action and that the face of the lock has full contact with the entire head of the cartridge.

In addition, a gold-colored titanium nitride layer (TiN) has been applied in the lock. This, on the one hand, gives it a beautiful aesthetic, but mainly it is that this coating prints a hardness that will slow down the wear of the moving parts, facilitates the slip of the same in the interior of the action and will offer protection against the metallic wastes that can occur. The lock manet is large, allowing a quick and smooth lock.

The trigger, another of the critical variables in a precision rifle, in this case is the so-called AccuTrigger, appeared in 2002. The same has security in the trigger, as well as modern polymer guns, which will prevent accidental discharges. Normally this type of racing rifles usually have a specific trigger on the third-party market, but this has enough quality to keep that of the hunting rifle from which it derives. As for the weight of the same, it is adjustable by the user from 0.680 Kg (1.5 pounds) to 1.81 Kg (4 pounds), coming from series configured on the 0.793 Kg (1.75 pounds) approximately.

Although undoubtedly the most striking component of the rifle and that prints that tactical character that likes fans so much, it is its aluminum chassis. This is the Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) ACC model, a guarantee to find the most comfortable shooting position possible. It is designed with high competition in mind, it is built in aluminum 6061 machined by CNC and finished in grey CERAKOTE. It supports all the necessary regulations, the height of the rail and the depth of the bowl are easily configurable by different controls. Thanks to the references of the graduation lines that possess such elements, it is easy to make minimal adjustments and return to our original position.

The recess pad is also adjustable in height and there is a MDT vertical grip gun with a wide shelf to rest the thumb, allowing a comfortable position of the wrist and an excellent control of the trigger from the shooting position. The shooter is also adjustable in depth, since not all fingers are of the same length. The MDT chassis has an extended range, with ARCA-Swiss system throughout its ventral length and with M-LOK fixing points on all three sides. The fact that it reaches a greater length than usual, allows better use of opportunity support.

That is, it allows the shooter the ability to accommodate more easily in unorthodox firing positions. The rocks, the branches of the trees and the barrels made, do a great job by holding the front of the rifle, if the keeper can reach them, and this can.

I want to point out that the ARCA-Swiss system is not well known as a Keymod or M-LOK anchor. But since the ARCA rails are continuous, the bipode can be unlocked and slide very quickly to the desired position for quick transitions from one position to the next.

The design of the chassis also allows the shooter to add weights, both inwardly or externally, as well as in the aforementioned bodyguard. The MDT chassis has a power system using chargers that follow the AICS standard. These are 10 capacity cartridges in short action calibers and 5 rounds in long action.

As for its accuracy, it is a rifle with which it is easy to reach groups of five shots close to 1⁄2 MOA, using quality commercial ammunition. Logically, with a recharge studied, there is a significant improvement margin. It is a rifle that, despite taking little time on the market, has begun to reap some important triumphs in some US championships, a whole guarantee of solvency.

In short, it is a rifle prepared to compete as it comes out of the box, given its complete equipment. It is halfway between a custom rifle and a commercial series. Each detail of the rifle design has been built with the purpose of being highly competitive and winning shots.
