Savage 110 Ultralite Elite V2 6.8 Western 20" 3rd Rifle

Savage built the 110 Ultralite Elite V2 for hunters who want a lighter bolt action rifle and still expect it to shoot. Savage describes the V2 as taking innovation and accuracy to new heights at faster speeds. This one is chambered in 6.8 Western and holds 3 rounds in the magazine. The 20 inch barrel is stainless steel wrapped in carbon fiber, which takes weight off the front of the rifle while keeping a steel bore inside, and the action sits in a stainless steel receiver.

The stock is an MDT HNT26 made of carbon fiber, and it folds. Folded, the rifle gets shorter for a pack, a truck seat or a hard case. Carbon in both the stock and the barrel is where the weight savings on this model come from. 6.8 Western is a short action cartridge built around long, heavy .277 bullets, a sensible match for a light rifle meant for open country hunts where carry weight and reach both count.
