Savage announced Thursday that their new 6-pound (and under) Model 110 Ultralite rifle, which includes a PROOF Research barrel, is now shipping.
Debuted earlier this year and displayed at SHOT Show in Las Vegas in January, the Model 110 Ultralite features a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel mated to a melonite skeletonized receiver inside Savage’s adjustable AccuFit stock. Available in a wide range of eight caliber options, the weight of the rifle is between 5.8 and 6-pounds, depending on caliber, with the overall length running from 42.5- to 44.5-inches depending on the barrel length.
“The 110 Ultralite is a highly refined Model 110,” Jessica Treglia, Sr. Brand Manager at Savage Arms, said in a statement this week. “Our engineers have gone to great lengths to strip weight off the rifle, without sacrificing any of its functionality or accuracy. With the additional weight reduction from the Proof Research barrel, you’ll instantly feel the difference.”
Other features include a spiral fluted bolt and a 5/8-24TPI threaded muzzle with a flush fit end cap. The detachable box magazine will hold either two or four rounds, depending on caliber. Chamberings include: .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .280 Ackley, .270 Win, .30-06 Spfld, .300 WSM, 6.5 PRC and 28 Nosler.

The Ultralite features a grey AccuFit stock with adjustable comb height, length-of-pull and over-molded surfaces.
The PROOF Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel has a threaded muzzle for 5/8-24 devices and suppressors, protected by a flush fit cap. Barrel length varies from 22- to 24-inches depending on caliber.
Note the spiral fluted bolt, user-adjustable AccuTrigger that can be tuned from 1.5- to 4-pounds, and a detachable magazine. Capacity is four rounds on .308, 6.5CM, .280 Ackley, .270 Win, and .30-06 while .300 WSM, 6.5 PRC, and 28 Nosler have a two-round capacity.
MSRP of the Savage Model 110 Ultralite, regardless of caliber, will be $1,499– a price closer to $1,225 at retailers.
When I heard about the Walther PDP-F, I was immediately intrigued. A compact pistol designed for small hands? Sign me up. Here are my thoughts after owning the PDP-F for one year.
Walther's PPQ 22 M2 pistol chambered for .22 LR offers fantastic ergonomics in an affordable package that's great for plinking, target shooting, and training.
Backed by the quality reputation that comes with Swiss manufacturing, the B&T GHM45 pistol-caliber sub gun is the perfect candidate for your next suppressed pistol.
Texas-based Bond Arms builds some of the finest derringers in the world, so we knew it would be a treat to shoot this single-shot, break-action Cyclops chambered in the walloping .45-70 Government.
