Savage 110 Ultralite Elite V2 6.5 CM 18" 3rd Rifle

The Savage 110 Ultralite Elite V2 is a light mountain rifle built on the Savage 110 bolt action, chambered here in 6.5 Creedmoor. Savage wraps a stainless steel barrel in carbon fiber to keep weight off the front of the rifle, and on this model the barrel runs 18" with a threaded muzzle, so a suppressor or muzzle brake can go on later. Capacity is 3 rounds, and the complete rifle weighs in at around 5 pounds.

The stock is the MDT HNT26, a folding carbon fiber design. Folded, the rifle gets shorter for a pack, a scabbard or the back seat of a truck, and it opens back up when it is time to shoot. Savage aimed this rifle at high altitude hunts and long treks after big game, the kind of trip where every ounce on your back adds up by the second day. The short barrel keeps the rifle quick to swing in timber and easy to handle from a cramped position, while 6.5 Creedmoor gives a light rifle real reach without punishing recoil. Under all the carbon fiber is the same Savage 110 action hunters already know.
