To ring in the new year, Savage has expanded its family of rifles and has joined forces with PROOF Research and MDT again to do it. The new 110 Ultralite Elite rifle takes a one-of-a-kind PROOF barrel built especially for the rifle and matches it with an MDT chassis system and the Savage 110 action to deliver an extremely lightweight rifle system geared towards backcountry hunters and shooters.
The PROOF barrel, specifically designed for the rifle system, is a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel product for the family of rifles and ranges in length from 18 inches to 20 inches, depending on caliber. The barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 from the factory with an Omniport muzzle brake installed. With the barrel, the 110 Ultralite Elite helped keep the weight down with the MDT HNT26 folding carbon fiber stock for an overall package weight that comes in right around 5 lbs. unloaded.
The 110 Ultralite Elite family of rifles includes a shorter overall length when folded and features a 3-position tang safety, an adjustable AccuTrigger trigger, and adjustable length-of-pull and comb adjustments. In addition to those features, the MDT chassis has an integrated ARCA rail together with the one-piece 20MOA Picatinny scope rail, making mounting accessories and optics a breeze.
Arriving with a gunmetal gray Cerakote finish on the center section and a Blackout Cerakote finish on the stainless steel receiver, the rifle is ready to take on the elements. Further, the new rifle is available in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win, 7mm PRC, .300 Win Mag, and .300 WSM and uses a detachable low-profile AICS box magazine. The Savage 110 Ultralite Elite rifle family is available now and has an MSRP of $3,299.
