The Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite in .243 Winchester is a field-ready bolt-action rifle built for the shooter who demands precision without the weight penalty. Chambered in the versatile .243 Win, this model features a 20″ button-rifled, fluted, and threaded heavy sporter barrel paired with a Cerakote-finished action for corrosion resistance. The Hogue overmolded stock provides a non-slip grip in wet conditions, while the user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds. It ships with two-piece Weaver-style bases and a detachable box magazine, making it a solid choice for long-range hunting or steel ringing.

Key Features
- Fluted and Threaded Heavy Sporter Barrel — The 20-inch button-rifled barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, and the 5/8-24 threading lets you mount a suppressor or brake for recoil management and hearing safety in the field.
- Cerakote Barreled Action — This ceramic-based finish adds a layer of protection against moisture, mud, and corrosion, keeping your zero consistent through weather that would rust a blued rifle.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger — You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, giving you a crisp break for precision shots and a safe, heavier pull for carry.
- Full-Coverage Hogue Overmolded Stock — The rubberized texture provides a positive grip even with wet hands or gloves, and the pillar-bedded action improves consistency shot to shot.
- 3-Position Tang Safety — Operate the safety with your thumb without breaking your firing grip, and lock the bolt in the middle position for safe unloading.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who shoots out to 400 yards and wants a lightweight setup that doesn’t sacrifice accuracy. It’s also for the precision shooter who appreciates a factory barrel that holds 1 MOA with the right handload, and who wants to run a suppressor without custom smithing. If you’re chasing coyotes, hogs, or deer in variable terrain, the 110 Trail Hunter Lite fits.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Factory-fluted barrel reduces weight; AccuTrigger is genuinely adjustable; Cerakote finish holds up to field abuse; detachable box magazine for quick reloads; threading is standard 5/8-24 for common suppressors.
Cons: The Hogue stock is flexible under heavy bipod load — if you plan to shoot from a bench frequently, consider a chassis upgrade. The factory trigger, while adjustable, has a slight creep at the lightest setting.

Does the Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite come with scope bases?
Yes, it ships with two-piece Weaver-style bases installed. You’ll need to add rings and a scope separately.

The barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 55 to 100 grains — ideal for .243 Win loads from varmint rounds to 95-grain hunting bullets.
Can I mount a bipod directly to the stock?
The Hogue stock has a sling swivel stud at the forend, so you can attach a bipod with a standard stud adapter. For heavy bipod use, a chassis upgrade is recommended.
