Savage 110 Varmint 223 Rem 26″ Gray Synthetic 4 + 1

The Savage 110 Varmint 223 Rem 26″ Gray Synthetic 4 + 1 is a factory-built precision tool designed for shooters who demand repeatable sub-MOA performance from a production rifle. Chambered in .223 Remington (with 5.56 NATO compatibility), this model pairs a 26-inch heavy, button-rifled carbon steel barrel with Savage’s AccuStock, AccuFit, and AccuTrigger systems to deliver consistent accuracy shot after shot. The matte gray synthetic stock provides a stable platform for varmint hunting or steel ringing, while the detachable 4+1 magazine keeps reloads efficient. This is a right-hand bolt action that ships ready for optics—drilled and tapped for standard scope bases.

Key Features

• 26″ Heavy Button-Rifled Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The heavy contour increases thermal stability during strings of fire, reducing vertical stringing on distant targets. Button rifling ensures consistent bore dimensions for uniform bullet engraving.
• AccuTrigger – WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from approximately 2.5 to 6 pounds, this trigger breaks clean with zero creep, letting you break a shot without disturbing your sight picture.
• AccuStock with AccuFit – WHY IT MATTERS: The aluminum bedding chassis free-floats the barrel and locks the action into a rigid platform. AccuFit spacers adjust length of pull and comb height for a custom cheek weld.
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: Accepts standard Savage 110 scope bases, allowing direct mounting of your preferred optic without gunsmithing.
• Detachable 4+1 Magazine – WHY IT MATTERS: Facilitates quick reloads and safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action. Useful for both range sessions and field use.

Who It’s For

This rifle targets precision shooters who want a factory platform capable of sub-MOA groups without aftermarket work. Varmint hunters chasing prairie dogs or coyotes at 200-500 yards will appreciate the heavy barrel’s heat management. Long-range beginners looking for a .223 trainer that mimics a heavier recoiling rifle will find the 9.6-pound weight and crisp trigger ideal for learning wind reading and positional shooting.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box; user-adjustable trigger; modular stock fit; affordable for a precision varmint rifle; accepts 5.56 NATO pressure.
• Cons: The factory synthetic stock feels less rigid than aftermarket chassis options—some shooters will upgrade to an MDT or KRG chassis for improved forend stiffness. The magazine release is plastic and may feel less durable than metal alternatives.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Savage 110 Varmint .223?

Per Savage Arms specifications, the 26″ barrel has a 1:9 twist rate. This stabilizes bullets from 55 to 69 grains well, but heavier 77-grain match loads may not group as tightly. For long-range .223 shooting, stick with 69-77 grain bullets in a 1:7 or 1:8 twist rifle—this barrel is optimized for varmint and mid-weight projectiles.

Does the Savage 110 Varmint accept 5.56 NATO ammunition?

Yes. Savage rates this model for both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. The chamber is cut to SAAMI .223 specs but handles the higher pressure of 5.56 safely. Accuracy will be best with quality .223 match ammo, but you can run surplus 5.56 for plinking without concerns.

Can I mount my existing scope base on this rifle?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage 110 two-piece or one-piece scope bases (8-40 screws standard). You will need to purchase bases separately—this rifle ships without scope bases or rings. Use a quality set from EGW, Warne, or Nightforce for best alignment.

What is the magazine capacity and type?

This rifle ships with one detachable box magazine holding 4 rounds internally plus 1 in the chamber. The magazine is a Savage-branded polymer unit. Aftermarket options from Accurate-Mag or MDT are available for increased capacity or metal construction.
