Description
The Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor weighs 5.8 pounds, which puts it in company with rifles costing twice as much. It gets there honestly: a carbon fiber wrapped stainless barrel, a skeletonized receiver treatment and a synthetic AccuStock, rather than by thinning a conventional barrel until it will not hold a group.
The stock wears Savage’s Woodland camo pattern, and the barrel threads 5/8-24 with a flush-fit cap, so a brake or suppressor mounts without a gunsmith.
Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel and Muzzle
The 22-inch barrel is a stainless steel core wrapped in carbon fiber, built in partnership with PROOF Research. Carbon wrap sheds heat considerably faster than steel of the same profile and removes a meaningful amount of weight from the muzzle end, where it affects handling most.
The 1:8 twist is the right choice for 6.5 Creedmoor’s long, high-BC bullets in the 140 to 147 grain range. Twenty-two inches is enough barrel to reach the velocities the cartridge was designed around without turning the rifle into something awkward in timber.
AccuStock, AccuFit and AccuTrigger
The synthetic stock uses Savage’s AccuStock rail system, which beds the action along its full length rather than relying on two pillars. Length of pull adjusts from 12.75 to 13.75 inches with included spacers, and comb height adjusts as well, so the rifle fits you rather than the other way around.
Inside the trigger guard is the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, tunable from roughly 1.5 to 4 pounds. Savage’s design uses a separate release lever that must be fully depressed before the sear can move, which is what makes a genuinely light pull safe on a hunting rifle.

Why Carbon Fiber Barrels Matter
The barrel on the Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor is not simply a lighter barrel. The steel core is thin, but the carbon around it is stiffer per unit of weight than steel, so the assembly resists whip better than a pencil-profile steel barrel of the same mass would.
The heat behavior is the other advantage. Carbon dissipates heat faster, so groups open up more slowly during a string of shots than they would with a thin steel barrel. For a hunting rifle that matters most during load development at the bench.
Why Buyers Choose It
At 5.8 pounds, the Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor carries like a .22 and shoots like a serious centerfire. Getting a carbon barrel, an adjustable stock and an adjustable trigger together at this price is unusual, and Savage’s barrel-nut headspacing system is why the accuracy holds up.
The threaded muzzle is worth its own mention. Suppressed 6.5 Creedmoor on a light bolt gun is about as pleasant as centerfire hunting gets, and having the threads cut and capped from the factory saves both money and turnaround time.
Who Should Buy It
The Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor suits the hunter who covers real ground on foot for elk, deer or antelope, the shooter who wants a suppressor host that stays balanced, and anyone who has decided that rifle weight is what limits how far they are willing to hunt.
