Description

Why the Apex Hunter XP Exists

Many first hunting rifles fail before the first shot.

Poor fit.
Unverified zero.
Overcomplicated optics.

The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP solves those problems by delivering a complete, usable system—not a pile of parts. With its mounted and bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II scope, adjustable length-of-pull, and predictable 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics, this rifle is designed to step into the field with confidence.

This is not a shortcut.
It is a clean starting line.

Right-Handed, Purpose-Built

The right-hand Apex Hunter XP delivers smooth bolt operation, consistent ejection, and ergonomics designed for dominant-hand control. It supports quick follow-up shots and natural manipulation without forcing shooters to adapt to mirrored or compromised controls.

Fundamentals should be learned on a rifle that fits.

The 24″ Barrel & Ethical Distance

With its 24″ barrel and 1:8 twist, the Apex Hunter XP keeps the 6.5 Creedmoor comfortably inside its ethical velocity window. This configuration provides:

• stable muzzle velocity

• predictable drop

• reliable expansion at practical hunting distances

This rifle is not intended to extend range beyond skill.
It is intended to support certainty.

The Optic — Simple by Design

The included Vortex Crossfire II 3–9×40 with Dead-Hold BDC reticle is intentionally straightforward:

• clear glass in hunting light

• intuitive holdover references

• durable construction

• known baseline before upgrades

For new and returning hunters, simplicity builds confidence faster than features.

AccuTrigger & Fit — Learning Without Friction

Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger delivers a clean, predictable break that encourages disciplined trigger control. The adjustable length-of-pull allows the rifle to fit a wide range of shooters—critical for consistent mount and recoil management.

This rifle is meant to teach habits, not hide errors.

What the Apex Hunter XP Will—and Will Not—Do

The Apex Hunter XP will:

• deliver reliable cold-bore shots

• reduce setup barriers

• encourage ethical shot selection

• provide a stable entry into the Creedmoor system

It will not:

• replace disciplined range time

• behave like a precision chassis rifle

• extend ethical distance beyond skill

That honesty is its strength.
