After Savage launched the 110 Ultralite Elite at SHOT Present in January of 2024 I couldn’t wait to get it within the area and put it via the gauntlet of our up-coming hunts. We had a number of searching journeys deliberate for the yr that this rifle can be absolute PERFECT for, it’s nearly like they constructed it particularly to match up with our 2024 hunt calendar. We first took it to Africa within the spring and what a pleasure it was to hold, Africa is HOT, and that solar wears you out actually fast. Weighing in at solely 5.8lbs this factor saved my bacon toting it across the bushveld in 100-degree warmth for 7 plus days of searching.
Quick ahead to September and I used to be in a position to get the 110 Ultralite Elite up into the excessive nation of Southeast Colorado chasing the mighty Elk. Once more, an ideal place to wield this purpose-built rifle. For this undertaking Savage partnered with MDT and utilized a HNT26 chassis with carbon fiber forend, pistol grip and buttstock. I’ve mentioned it earlier than, I LOVE a pistol grip bolt gun for searching, it’s a lot extra of a pure hand place for me and it tremendously improves my consolation and accuracy.
The collapsible inventory is ideal for all of the out and in of the aspect by aspect or strapping it to your pack when mountaineering to glassing spots. It’s tremendous useful AND, one other of my favorites, the power to regulate comb peak and size of pull. Two crucial issues that assist enhance consolation and accuracy.
We had been fortunate sufficient to be in elk for nearly the whole hunt, we had been simply ready on the precise bull and the precise alternative. We set out on the afternoon of day three and occurred to see a pleasant bull stand up from his morning mattress. We had the wind, the solar and the terrain in our favor, it by no means works out like that! We had been rapidly in a position to get inside a pair hundred yards and get setup and take the shot throughout the valley ground. The bull died inside just some toes of his mattress whereas he was beginning his afternoon graze. He was a fantastic mainframe 6×6 with an additional level on all sides technically making him a 7×7! None of that mattered to me as I simply see burgers and jerky after I take a look at an elk and never antler factors.
To say that the 110 Ultralite Elite handed its ultimate check can be an understatement. This factor is jam-packed with options and one thing you HAVE try! Savage continues to flood their pipeline with know-how and innovation and for the previous few years have been one-upping themselves with all the brand new merchandise hitting the market. This one goes to be a tricky one to beat however I’m certain they’ll determine a method to prime this one but once more.
