The Savage 110 Ultralite Elite .300 PRC 20″ Threaded is not a lightweight compromise—it’s a precision platform engineered to carry hard and shoot flat. Chambered in .300 PRC, this rifle pairs a Proof Research carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with an MDT HNT26 carbon-fiber folding chassis, dropping carry weight to sub-7 pounds while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent sub-MOA groups at distance. The 20″ threaded barrel (5/8×24) keeps the profile compact for suppressed use, and the AICS-pattern detachable box magazine feeds the high-BC 212-grain ELD-X loads that .300 PRC demands.

Key Features
- Proof Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel: The 20″ stainless steel blank wrapped in carbon fiber sheds heat faster and reduces barrel whip, keeping shot-to-shot consistency tighter than a traditional steel contour of the same weight. Why it matters: you get a cold-bore-to-mag-dump precision window that stays inside 0.5 MOA.
- MDT HNT26 Folding Chassis: The skeletonized carbon-fiber stock locks up rigid with zero flex at the hinge, and the adjustable length-of-pull and cheek riser let you dial in eye relief for high-magnification optics. Why it matters: a folding chassis that doesn’t introduce poi shift when deployed—critical for pack-in, shoot-out scenarios.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24): Factory-threaded with a capped muzzle, this barrel accepts direct-thread suppressors or brakes without gunsmithing. Why it matters: .300 PRC with a can stays hearing-safe and keeps recoil manageable for fast follow-ups on steel at 1,200 yards.
- AICS-Pattern Detachable Box Magazine: The low-profile polymer magazine feeds the .300 PRC cartridge reliably from a 5-round capacity, and the release is ambidextrous. Why it matters: no feed-ramp hang-ups with the long, heavy bullets this chambering was designed for.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver: Pre-threaded for #6-48 and #8-40 screws, the receiver accepts any 0 MOA or 20 MOA rail without drilling. Why it matters: you can mount a modern optic base in 10 minutes and get to zeroing instead of machining.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks miles to a ridgeline and expects to make a 700-yard shot on a mule deer, or the precision shooter who wants a single rifle for PRS Light division and backcountry steel matches. If you’ve been carrying a 12-pound rig and questioning your life choices on the hike out, the 110 Ultralite Elite is the answer. It’s also for the suppressor user who needs a compact, threaded platform that doesn’t balloon overall length.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a Proof Research barrel—hard to beat below $3k.
- Pro: Folding chassis fits in a 28″ pack for air travel or tight storage.
- Con: The AccuTrigger is crisp but not user-adjustable below 2.5 lb without a spring swap—some precision shooters prefer a 1-lb break out of the box.
Comparison
| Feature | Savage 110 Ultralite Elite .300 PRC | Bergara B-14 HMR .300 PRC | Christensen Arms MPR .300 PRC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 6.9 lb | 9.3 lb | 7.8 lb |
| Barrel | Proof Research carbon-fiber 20″ | Steel 22″ | Carbon-fiber 22″ |
| Chassis | MDT HNT26 folding carbon-fiber | HMR composite stock | Carbon-fiber stock |
| Price | $2,942.91 | $1,399 | $3,295 |
| Magazine | AICS-pattern detachable box | AICS-pattern detachable box | Remington 700 BDL hinged floorplate |
The Bergara is heavier and cheaper; the Christensen is lighter but costs more and lacks a folding stock. The Savage splits the difference with a folding chassis and a barrel that’s proven to hold 0.5 MOA with factory match ammo.
FAQ
Does the Savage 110 Ultralite Elite .300 PRC 20″ threaded come with a muzzle brake?
No, it ships with a thread protector only. The 5/8×24 muzzle is bare, so you’ll need to add your own brake or suppressor. Savage recommends a direct-thread brake or a QD mount if you plan to suppress.
What scope base fits the Savage 110 Ultralite Elite?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage 110 long-action footprint—use a 20 MOA rail from Nightforce or EGW to maximize elevation for .300 PRC trajectories past 1,000 yards. The action uses #6-48 and #8-40 screws, so any Savage 110-compatible rail works.
Can I use standard AICS magazines with this rifle?
Yes, the MDT chassis accepts any AICS-pattern magazine, including MDT polymer or metal mags, Magpul PMAG 5 AC, and Accurate-Mag. Stick with 5-rounders for hunting; 10-rounders fit but extend below the chassis.
Is the .300 PRC cartridge worth the extra recoil over 6.5 Creedmoor?
If you’re shooting past 1,000 yards on game or steel, yes. The .300 PRC delivers 200+ ft-lb more energy at 1,000 yards than 6.5 Creedmoor, with less wind drift than .338 Lapua. Recoil is about 20% more than .308, but the MDT chassis and brake mitigate it well.
