Description
The Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo is the open country version of the 110 Ultralite Pro: the same 20 inch carbon fiber wrapped stainless barrel and fast 1 in 8 twist, dressed in the Savage Western pattern rather than the green Woodland one. It weighs 6.78 pounds bare, carries three rounds and wears a Blackout Cerakote receiver. The Savage item number is 32735 and the UPC is 011356327352. MAG5 Firearms stocks it for hunters working sage, scree and high open basins.
Camo Pattern, Cartridge and Weight
The savage western camo stock is the practical reason to choose this version. Its tans, greys and broken edges break up a human outline against dry grass, rock and sage, where a woodland green pattern turns into a dark blob at distance. If most of your season is spent above timber line or glassing across open bowls, the Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo is the finish that actually earns its keep.
The cartridge matches the terrain. 6.8 Western drives heavy 165 to 175 grain 270 calibre bullets from a fast twist barrel, which gives high ballistic coefficients, flat flight and good wind resistance. That makes a 6.8 western elk rifle genuinely effective on big game at the distances open country produces, while recoiling less than a 300 magnum at the same weight. The 1 in 8 twist on a Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo is the detail that makes it work.
The weight saving comes from the carbon fiber wrapped barrel, a stainless liner inside a carbon shell that sheds close to a pound against an equivalent steel contour. The muzzle is threaded 5 8 by 24 with an Omniport brake fitted, a one piece 20 MOA rail is already on the receiver, and the magazine is an AICS pattern detachable box, so spares for a Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo are cheap and available from several makers.
Practical Notes From the Field
The 110 ultralite pro stock is a synthetic shell with a textured grip, a soft pad and spacers that set length of pull between 12.75 and 13.75 inches. It is not a hand laid composite, so it is marginally heavier and marginally less rigid than the chassis on the Elite models, which shows up only under a hard bipod load. For a rifle that gets dragged across rock and leaned against trucks, a tougher and cheaper stock on the Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo is the right answer.
Ammunition planning matters with this chambering. 6.8 Western is well supported by Winchester, Browning and Federal but it is not stocked everywhere, and it costs more per round than common cartridges. Settle on one load, confirm it, and buy enough of that lot to cover two seasons. Changing loads halfway through a season on a Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo means rebuilding your drop chart from scratch, which is time you will not have on a hunt.
Treat the barrel sensibly. Carbon wrapping saves weight, it does not add heat capacity, so verify zero in two or three round groups with real cooling between them and leave volume practice to a cheaper rifle. Do not clamp the wrapped section in a vice and do not let solvent stand against it. Handled that way, a Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo will repeat cold bore hits reliably, which is the only accuracy measure that matters on a hunt.

Who Should Buy It
A Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo makes sense for the hunter who covers open ground on foot, wants elk capable terminal performance, and would rather shoot a cartridge that does not punish practice. The softer recoil relative to a 300 magnum is not a small thing, because the shooter who practises more is the shooter who connects. Full factory specifications are published by Savage Arms.
If you hunt dark timber and hardwoods instead, the Woodland camo version is the better match and is mechanically identical. If you want the lightest possible build with an integrated ARCA rail for tripod work, the 110 Ultralite Elite in 6.8 Western saves another pound. Browse the rest of our rifles to compare.
Budget past the rifle. Choose a scope in the 20 to 26 ounce range so the finished gun stays light, buy rings matched to the 20 MOA base rather than assuming the base is enough, and pick up a spare magazine. A Savage Ultralite Pro 6.8 Western Camo repays good glass and honest load development far more than it repays accessories.
