First Look: Savage Arms Model 110 Line Goes .300 PRC

A logical move for the bolt-action specialists, Savage Arms release four Model 110 rifles in the ballistically talented .300 PRC.

What Are The .300 PRC Models:

• 110 Elite Precision
• 110 Precision
• 110 HS Precision
• 110 Long-Range Hunter

The world is awash in .30-caliber cartridges. Was there a call for another? Hornaday and the Department of Defense certainly believed so. Thus the .300 PRC is with us today. Designed to milk the most out of heavy-for-caliber, hyper-sleek very-low drag bullets, the cartridge’s main task is to save soldiers’ lives by putting more effective range between them and the enemy. Though, don’t think Joe-average shooter doesn’t have something to gain from the long ranger. Cross-canyon attempts on elk or country-mile hits on steel plate, the .300 PRC is becoming the pick of the litter to get the job done.

Gunmakers have taken note. A slew of irons have rolled out over the past couple years chambered for the beltless magnum. The most recent, Savage Arms. Pure candy for the bolt-action specialists, the Massachusetts gunmaker jumped into the caliber in a big way releasing four Model 110 rifles chambered for the .300 PRC, including the Long-Range Hunter, Precision, Elite Precision and HS Precision. Running the gamut, Savage Arms has an option for about every occasion.

Making particular waves presently is the 110 Precision, logical given it’s among the most affordable chassis options available. Though, across the board, it’s hard to argue with how the rifles are priced, with MSRPs running from $968 for the Precision hunter to $2,149 for the premium chassis Elite Precision. Check out the specs below for more information.

From Savage Arms:

June 26, 2020 – WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – When the Department of Defense began looking for a long-range sniper round that produced consistent results with lighter recoil and less muzzle flash, Hornady's 300 PRC quickly rose to the top. Now Savage has chambered several rifles in the outstanding new caliber that allow hunters and marksmen to make the most of the new round.

“The 300 PRC has opened up new possibilities for extreme long-range shooting,” Jessica Treglia, Sr. Brand Manager at Savage Arms, said. “There's no better platform for the round than a Savage. With their AccuTriggers and AccuStocks, Savage rifles offer the rugged stability needed for reliable accuracy at any distance.”

While 300 PRC is capable of exceptional accuracy, the round is not simply a paper-puncher. The true potential of the 300 PRC comes from the intentional pairing of heavy .30 caliber bullets with non-belted cases and temperature-stable powders. The 300 PRC's projectiles achieve repeatable accuracy thanks to their high ballistic coefficients. The 30-degree shoulder of the case provides stable chamber alignment, while the non-belted cases stack efficiently and feed reliably from magazines. The combination allows for fast follow-up shots.

When these attributes are combined with Savage's thread-in headspacing, floating bolt head, and button rifled barrels, the 300 PRC achieves astounding accuracy. With the stability of AccuStock and the precision of Savage's AccuTrigger, the round's potential is fully realized.

Savage builds rifles that enable shooters to make the most of their abilities. Now, with these guns in 300 PRC, competitors can reach new distances, hunters can push the limits of ethical shots—even southpaws will have off-the-shelf options that, once again, demonstrate Savage's commitment to accessibility for all shooters.
