Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2 300 Win Mag 20" 3rd Tungsten Rifle

Savage teamed with Hogue for the Trail Hunter Lite V2, and the Overmolded stock is the reason to look at it. The rubber skin covers the entire stock, so the rifle stays put in your hands with gloves on, in rain, or when you are shooting off a pack at a bad angle. Under the rubber the stock is synthetic and light, which keeps the whole rifle around 7 pounds before optics. That matters at 20 inches of 300 Win Mag: this is a rifle built to be carried a long way and fired a few times.

The barreled action wears Tungsten Cerakote, a gray ceramic coating that shrugs off sweat, rain and blood better than bare blued steel. The barrel is a heavy sporter contour with straight flutes and a threaded muzzle, so a brake or a can bolts on without a trip to a shop. Savage's AccuTrigger is user adjustable, and the three position tang safety lets you unload with the safety still on. Feeding comes from a detachable 3 round box magazine, and the receiver arrives with two piece Weaver style bases already fitted. Bolt action, right hand, drilled and tapped, no surprises: it is the 110 action people have trusted for decades wrapped in a package built for weather.
