Folks ,
Been looking for a new rifle since I sold my AR . Savage has in the past been functional and accurate rifle . I saw the 110 Predator in .223 Remington with a 1/9 twist and 22” barrel. I’d like to know if anyone is using one and how accurate they are . More or less a pro vs cons deal .
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Dont have one but every Savage I've owned has been very accurate and totally reliable. Probably cant go wrong with that choice. Bonus is the accu-trigger (or equivalent).
 
I have a couple and use them for nite hunting. I had a model 10 in 243 that is now a 222. The other is a 223. They both shoot very good.
 
Thank you for your prompt reply.
What was wrong with the.243 ??
Does the .223 shoot moa or less ?
Do you hand load for it?
Thanks,
Soup

Nothing was wrong with the 243 but I wanted a small cartridge that would still feed and work as a repeater. I nite hunt in and around developed areas so wanted quiet, with a can, and easy to load and unload when going from farm to farm. The nice thing about Savage is I can do it all myself, barrel change, bolt face etc. They are both 9 twist and shoot .5 moa with handloads. I cut the 223 to 18" and have a 20" on the 222. I like sporter weight barrels as I walk alot. I am happy with Savage and use them like a tool. I tried one in 20 vt but it was single shot as I couldn't get it to feed and eject the short cartridge.
 
I have 5 savage bolt actions including the 110 predator. Savage makes great guns for the price and you don't have to feel bad beating them up. I really like the savage triggers. With quality hand loads I'm able to consistently get less than 1 MOA with all 5 guns and have shot many 1/2 MOA groups with all 5 guns.
My only complaint about Savages is that actions are not always smooth. 2 of my 5 savages do not always feed smoothly and I've picked up the habit of using my fingers to help guide the cartridge into the chamber. One of my savages doesn't always completely extract the brass and I'll have an empty piece of brass sitting on top of the next cartridge I try to feed in the chamber. 2 of the 5 savages I own have flawless actions that I'm very happy with.
 
I have a 110 predator in 22-250. Yes, they are on the heavy side. Will be taking it out on Friday for the first time at the range to see how well it shoots.
