The heat-treating process that any steel receiver undergoes can cause it to warp, even slightly. Savage also cleaned up the receiver’s threads to ensure that they make even contact with the barrel tenon.
The absence of bedding compound makes fieldstripping the 110 Elite Precision rifle fast and easy. Thus, the Elite Precision is built on the 110 for its smaller shank and lighter barrels. While the Elite Precision is also a competition rifle, it is ready for the fast-moving positional shooting that dominates the precision rifle circuits. Blueprinting is standard on Model 12 actions, but those accept so-called “large shank” barrels, and are heavy rifles designed primarily for competition. The 110 Elite Precision rifle has a blueprinted action, representing the first time in recent history that Savage has applied this to a Model 10 or Model 110 action. The combination of these elements yields a rifle that is accurate, eminently adjustable and feeds from readily available (and reliable) detachable box magazines.īlueprinting an action is the process by which a manufacturer or gunsmith, through additional machining operations, ensure that all critical surfaces on an action are perpendicular, parallel or concentric, as the situation dictates. The most notable takeaways from the 110 Elite Precision rifle include the factory blueprinted action, the Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) Adjustable Core Competition (ACC) chassis, and the use of AICS-pattern magazines. The 110 Elite Precision is the model’s apogee.
Announced in 1957, the Model 110 is said to be the oldest continuously produced bolt-action rifle in America.
