I’ve owned the Savage .30-06 Model 110 for two years and it’s been incredibly accurate. I usually get tight groups at 100 yards. It performs well in various conditions too.

That’s great to hear! How does it compare in terms of recoil to other rifles you’ve tried?

In my experience, the recoil is manageable, even for longer shooting sessions. It’s much less punishing than some of the magnum calibers.

That’s reassuring! I’m curious how it performs in colder weather as well.

I’ve taken mine out in the rain and it held up pretty well. Just make sure to clean it afterward! Does anyone else have field experiences to share?

I took mine hunting in Wyoming during winter and it functioned perfectly. It was cold and windy, but that didn’t affect my shots at all.

I’ve found that with the right ammo, it’s very capable. The only thing I’d argue is that it doesn’t match the flashiness of other brands, but it’s a solid workhorse.

Anyone compare it with Remington 700? I’ve been told the Savage is more affordable but is it really worth it?

I’ve shot both. The Savage has a smoother action in my opinion, plus the price point can’t be beaten!

I recently switched from a Remington to the Savage and I couldn’t be happier. The accuracy is spot on, and the value is exceptional.

What kind of scopes are people using with their Model 110? I want to enhance my shooting experience.

I’ve paired mine with a Vortex Viper and it has improved my accuracy significantly. What about you, Cory?

Like that choice! I’m using a Leupold, and it’s been amazing too.

While all this is helpful, I’m still skeptical about comparing it to higher-end models. Is it fair to measure performance against something like a Sako?

I’ve had my Savage .30-06 Model 110 for a few years now, and the construction quality is solid. The synthetic stock feels durable, and the metal finish has held up remarkably well.

I’m glad to hear that! I’m curious about how it performs in various weather conditions. Has anyone tested it in the rain or snow?

I agree with you, margaret37! The adjustable trigger is fantastic. It truly makes a difference when you’re aiming for accuracy. What about the ergonomics, though?

The ergonomics are quite good! The grip fits comfortably in hand, and the overall weight feels balanced. I don’t mind carrying it around on longer hunts.
