The Savage 110 Ultralite Elite 18in Carbon-Fiber Chassis Rifle is a production-ready precision hunting platform that shaves weight without sacrificing stiffness. At 5.9 pounds bare (per manufacturer specs), this rig pairs a Proof Research carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel with an MDT HNT26 chassis, folding carbon buttstock, and a 20 MOA rail. It’s built for the shooter who carries a rifle farther than they shoot it, yet demands sub-MOA repeatability from a factory gun.

Key Features
- Proof Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel: Wrapped stainless steel liner reduces weight by ~40% over a comparable steel barrel while dissipating heat faster. Why it matters: You carry less weight up the mountain and still hold sub-MOA groups through a 10-round string.
- MDT HNT26 Carbon-Fiber Chassis: Full-length chassis with a folding, foam-filled carbon buttstock that adjusts for length of pull and comb height. Why it matters: Fits your body in any shooting position—prone, kneeling, or off a pack—without adding bulk.
- Adjustable AccuTrigger: User-adjustable from 2.5 to 6.5 lbs with a crisp, creep-free break. Why it matters: You dial the pull weight to your preference, eliminating trigger-induced flyers at distance.
- 20 MOA Picatinny Rail: Integrated one-piece rail cants the optic base for long-range elevation. Why it matters: You get ~20 MOA of usable elevation out of your scope turrets, pushing your effective range past 1,000 yards without a shim.
- OmniPort Muzzle Brake: Factory-installed brake directs gas rearward to reduce felt recoil. Why it matters: You spot your own impacts through the scope, even with hot 6.5 Creedmoor loads.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the backcountry hunter who also shoots PRS-style matches. If you’re the guy who weighs every piece of gear on a digital scale, then runs a stage with a 12-pound rifle, the 110 Ultralite Elite splits the difference. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a portable platform that doesn’t need a gunsmith to shoot 0.5 MOA.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Sub-6-pound weight with a folding stock makes it packable for high-country stalks.
- Pro: Factory 20 MOA rail saves you $100+ and the hassle of aftermarket installation.
- Pro: AccuTrigger is user-adjustable without tools—rare at this price point.
- Con: The 18-inch barrel loses ~75 fps compared to a 22-inch tube in 6.5 Creedmoor. You trade velocity for maneuverability.
- Con: The carbon-fiber chassis can feel slick in wet conditions without added grip tape.

FAQ
What calibers is the Savage 110 Ultralite Elite available in?
The rifle is offered in 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, .270 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield. Check current inventory for specific caliber availability.
Does the folding stock lock securely for shooting?
Yes. The MDT HNT26 chassis uses a positive-lock latch system. When folded, the stock locks against the receiver. When deployed, it locks rigid with zero play.
Can I replace the muzzle brake with a suppressor?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24. The OmniPort brake is removable with a wrench, exposing standard threads for a direct-thread suppressor or a QD mount.
Does the 20 MOA rail interfere with low-mounted scopes?
It can. The rail is elevated, so you may need medium or high rings for a 50mm objective. Low rings with a 30mm tube may not clear the barrel.
What is the twist rate on the 18-inch barrel?
In 6.5 Creedmoor, it is a 1:8 twist. In .308 Winchester, it is a 1:10 twist. This stabilizes most factory match ammunition up to 147-grain bullets.
