I got a sneak peek at the new Savage 110 Ultralite Pro before its release date, which gave me the opportunity to carry it straight into Idaho elk country this fall. I came away from that hunt with a notched tag, a solid bull, and a clear sense that this rifle is more than a minor update.
It carried well in steep country and fit me well enough that the shot felt calm, even with my first bull standing in the crosshairs. That kind of confidence can be hard to come by, but it starts with a rifle that actually fits the shooter behind it.
The original Savage 110 Ultralite already had a solid reputation as a lightweight, mountain-ready hunting rifle. The Ultralite Pro builds on that platform with upgrades aimed at fit, control, and adaptability instead of trying to shave off more ounces.
The biggest change is Savage’s AccuFit V2 system, paired with exclusive Savage Woodland and Savage Western camo stocks. Unlike the standard Ultralite, the Pro offers fully toolless stock adjustments, allowing shooters to fine-tune length of pull and comb height in seconds, even in the field.
That matters, especially for shooters who don’t fall into the “average” category. As a short, small-framed shooter with high cheekbones and a short length of pull, finding a rifle that truly fits is rare. The Ultralite Pro didn’t force a compromise. I dialed in the stock until the cheek weld was natural and repeatable, and the sight picture snapped into place every time I mounted the rifle.
Savage also added interchangeable pistol grip modules in small, medium, and large sizes. Grip fit is often ignored, but its importance can show up fast on rushed shots or awkward shooting angles.
Built to help you conserve energy on those long, tough backcountry hikes, the 110 Ultralite features a skeletonized stainless steel receiver, a carbon fiber bolt knob, and a lightweight, carbon fiber barrel.
It also comes with a LimbSaver recoil pad that reduces felt recoil by up to 50 percent, which makes a real difference on a lightweight rifle chambered in modern magnums.
Other notable features include a threaded muzzle with an Omniport muzzle brake and a one-piece 20 MOA rail, making the Ultralite Pro ready for modern optics and muzzle devices right out of the box. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger breaks cleanly from 1.5 to 4 pounds, and all calibers are available in left-hand configurations, which still deserves credit.
The Savage 110 Ultralite Pro is more of a refinement to the original 110 Ultralite than an overhaul. And after carrying it through steep Idaho country and watching it do its job on a nice bull elk, that refinement feels like a serious upgrade.
