Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM Rifle – Rugged Carbon Barrel Camo

Description

The Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM is the Pro Pursuit build: a short, hard hitting bolt gun aimed at hunters who walk into rough country and want one rifle that will handle elk, moose and long open country shots. It pairs a 20 inch carbon fiber wrapped stainless barrel with a Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock in earth tone camo and an OD green Cerakote receiver. The Savage item number is 58157 and the UPC is 011356581570. MAG5 Firearms lists it for western and mountain hunting, and the notes below cover the honest trade offs.

What the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM Brings

The 110 pro pursuit rifle is built around the idea that a hunting rifle should shoot like a precision rifle without weighing like one. The 20 inch barrel keeps it handy in timber and on horseback, the carbon fiber wrapped barrel keeps weight at 7.3 pounds bare, and the Omniport muzzle brake ships installed so the 300 WSM stays controllable out of a short tube. Overall length is 41.5 inches, which is genuinely short for a magnum.

The stock is the part buyers notice first. A grayboe phoenix 2 stock is a hand laid fiberglass composite rather than an injection molded shell, and it does not flex, swell or shift zero when the weather turns. Comb height and length of pull are both adjustable, with length of pull running from 12.5 to 13.5 inches, so the rifle can be set up for a heavy jacket in November and shortened again in September. That adjustability is worth more on the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM than on almost any other rifle.

Underneath it is a Savage 110 action with the side bolt release, an upgraded bolt head with dual ejectors, and the user adjustable AccuTrigger set anywhere between roughly 1.5 and 4 pounds. Feeding comes from a three round AICS pattern detachable box magazine, which means spare magazines are easy to find. A one piece 20 MOA scope rail is fitted at the factory, so the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM is ready for a long range scope without buying a base.

Living With a Short Barreled Magnum

Understand what a 20 inch barrel costs you. A 300 WSM was designed around 24 inch barrels, and cutting to 20 inches gives up somewhere in the region of 100 to 150 feet per second depending on the load. In exchange you get a rifle that clears brush, fits a scabbard and balances properly in the hands. For the ranges most people actually shoot game, the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM makes that trade worth taking, but it is still a trade and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.

The brake is not optional equipment on this rifle, it is part of the design. It cuts felt recoil substantially and it also makes the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM genuinely loud for anyone standing beside you. Wear hearing protection at the range without exception, and warn your hunting partner before you touch one off. If the noise bothers you, the 5 8 by 24 thread lets you fit a thread protector and shoot it bare, at the cost of noticeably more recoil.

As a 300 wsm hunting rifle this is a specialist tool, not a first rifle. The cartridge is expensive, ammunition selection is thinner than 30-06 or 300 Win Mag, and barrel life on a hard used magnum is finite. Practice with the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM costs real money. If you shoot fifty rounds a year and hunt whitetail inside 200 yards, a 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor will serve you better and cost far less to feed.

Who It Suits and What to Budget

Buy the Savage Arms 110 PPR 300 WSM if you hunt big game in open or broken country, if you want a short rifle that still reaches, and if you value a stock that holds zero through weather. The combination of a hand laid composite stock, a carbon wrapped barrel and an adjustable trigger at this price is difficult to match by assembling parts yourself. Full factory specifications are published by Savage Arms.

Note that this model has been moved out of current production, which cuts two ways. Remaining stock is finite and prices tend to firm up rather than fall, but factory support for stock and magazine spares is easier while the parts are still circulating. AICS pattern magazines are widely available from other makers, so feeding is not a concern. Browse the rest of our rifles to compare barrel lengths and chamberings.

Budget beyond the rifle. A 300 wsm hunting rifle of this class deserves glass with real elevation travel and repeatable turrets, rings that match the 20 MOA rail, and enough ammunition to confirm a cold bore zero and a drop chart. Plan on shooting two or three shot groups with cooling time rather than long strings, because carbon fiber wrapped barrel construction does not license faster fire, it only saves weight.
