Savage 110 Ultralite Pro, Predator & Elite V2: 4 New Rifles

Savage revamped the Ultralite family with four carbon-barreled rifles: the 110 Ultralite Pro, the 110 Ultralite Predator, the straight-pull Impulse Ultralite Pro, and the 5.8 to 6.2 pound 110 Ultralite Elite V2 in an MDT HNT26 chassis.

Savage 110 Ultralite Pro, Predator & Elite V2: 4 New Rifles header image

Key Takeaways

  • Four rifles in the family: the 110 Ultralite Pro, the 110 Ultralite Predator, the straight-pull Impulse Ultralite Pro, and the 110 Ultralite Elite V2, all on carbon fiber barrels and AICS magazines.
  • AccuFit V2 goes toolless: length of pull and comb height adjust without tools on the Pro, Predator, and Impulse Ultralite Pro, and all three take interchangeable grip modules.
  • Carbon barrels across the board: 16.5 to 24 inches depending on model and cartridge, every one threaded, with Savage's Omniport brake on the Pro, Impulse, and Elite V2.
  • Elite V2 is the light one at 5.8 to 6.2 pounds: a PROOF Research carbon-wrapped stainless barrel in a folding MDT HNT26 chassis with an integrated ARCA rail.
  • Predator gets a 0 MOA rail and 10-round AICS mags: nine chamberings from 5.56 NATO and 22 ARC through 338 ARC, all offered left-hand.

What Savage Announced

Savage rebuilt the Ultralite line around four rifles: the 110 Ultralite Pro, the 110 Ultralite Predator, the straight-pull Impulse Ultralite Pro, and the 110 Ultralite Elite V2. Every one runs a carbon fiber barrel and feeds from AICS magazines, and the three stocked models share the new AccuFit V2 stock with interchangeable grip modules. The Predator sits at the bottom of the range and the Elite V2 at the top.

"Our goal with the new Ultralite lineup was to push lightweight rifle performance even further while giving hunters more ways to tailor their rifle to their specific pursuit," said RJ Contorno, Senior Product Manager at Savage Arms. The tailoring is the actual news here. Savage already sold a light carbon-barreled 110, and the previous Ultralite Elite already carried M-Lok and an ARCA rail through its MDT chassis. What the stocked models did not have is a grip module, comb height, and length of pull that all change in the field without tools.

The four models split cleanly by job. The Pro is the general-purpose hunting rifle in 13 chamberings. The Predator is the varmint and predator gun, built around 10-round magazines and a 0 MOA rail. The Impulse Ultralite Pro is the straight-pull for shooters who want faster follow-ups without going semi-auto. The Elite V2 is the backcountry rifle where weight is the whole point.

AccuFit V2 and the Grip Modules

AccuFit V2 makes length of pull and comb height toolless. The original AccuFit shipped five comb risers in eighth-inch increments and four length-of-pull spacers in quarter-inch increments, all of them parts you physically swapped once at home and then left alone. V2 turns both into adjustments you can make standing at the truck, which matters most when the same rifle gets shot in a t-shirt in September and a puffy in November.

The interchangeable grip modules are the second half of that. Rather than accepting whatever grip angle the stock was molded with, the Pro, Predator, and Impulse Ultralite Pro accept different modules, so a shooter who prefers a vertical grip for prone work off a bipod and a swept grip for offhand carry can have both on one rifle. All three stocked models also carry M-Lok panels in the forend, and all three use Savage's LimbSaver recoil pad.

Every rifle in the family uses a user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a threaded bolt handle. If you are cross-shopping against the rest of the field, our best deer hunting rifle guide ranks the bolt guns these compete against at each price step.

110 Ultralite Pro: The Volume Model

The 110 Ultralite Pro is the rifle most buyers in this family will actually purchase, at $1,656.48 for a 20-inch 6.5 Creedmoor. It pairs a Savage Woodland or Savage Western camo stock with AccuFit V2, a Blackout Cerakoted skeletonized receiver, and a diamond-fluted Blackout Cerakoted bolt with a threaded bolt handle. Carbon fiber barrels run 18 to 24 inches by caliber, threaded and wearing Savage's Omniport muzzle brake, under a one-piece 20 MOA rail.

Savage lists the 6.5 Creedmoor 20-inch at 6.78 pounds, with a 1:8 twist and a 5/8x24 muzzle. The chambering list is the widest in the family: 22 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 7mm PRC, 7mm Backcountry, 300 WSM, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 300 PRC. The 300 PRC gets the 24-inch barrel and a 5-round magazine; most of the rest run 20 inches and 3 rounds. Left-hand versions are offered across the lineup.

At this price the Pro lands directly against the mid-tier chassis and carbon-barrel bolt guns. If 6.5 Creedmoor is the chambering you are weighing, our 6.5 Creedmoor rifle guide covers what else sits in the same bracket.

Savage Arms

Savage 110 Ultralite Pro

Widest chambering menu in the family, 20 MOA rail, AccuFit V2 stock

$1656.48
MSRP

Carbon-fiber-barreled 110 hunting rifle with toolless AccuFit V2 stock adjustment, interchangeable grip modules, M-LOK stock panels, a one-piece 20 MOA rail, and AICS magazine feeding. Routed to the KYGUNCO 6.5 Creedmoor 20-inch Savage Woodland listing, SKU 32710.

Pros
  • +Carbon barrel and sub-7-pound weight at well under carbon-rifle money
  • +AccuFit V2 adjusts stock fit without tools, unlike shim-and-spacer systems
  • +Factory 20 MOA rail and AICS magazine remove two common first upgrades
Cons
  • Dedicated ultralight backcountry rifles still come in lighter if weight is the only priority
  • Sub-7-pound magnum chamberings recoil sharply without the brake installed
  • Savage action has a smaller aftermarket than the Remington 700 footprint
Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, .270 Win, .30-06 Sprg, 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 7mm PRC, .300 WSM, .300 Win Mag, .300 PRC, 22 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 7mm BackcountryBarrel: 20 inches on most SKUs, 24 inches on .300 PRC, 18 and 20 inches on the 7mm Backcountry SKUsWeight: 6.78 lb short action, 6.93 lb long action, 7.37 lb on .300 PRC

110 Ultralite Predator: 0 MOA Rail, 10-Round Mags

The 110 Ultralite Predator is the cheapest rifle in the family at $1,626.24, and the only one built around a 0 MOA rail and 10-round AICS magazines. That pairing is deliberate: predator shooting happens inside a few hundred yards where a canted rail costs you elevation travel you would rather have flat, and where a stand session can burn more than three rounds.

Savage lists nine chamberings, every one of them also offered left-hand: 5.56x45mm NATO and 22 ARC in 18 inches, 22-250 Remington and 22 Creedmoor in 22 inches, 6mm ARC in 18 inches, 6.5 Creedmoor in 18 and 22 inches, 300 AAC Blackout and 338 ARC in 16.5 inches, and 308 Winchester in 18 inches. The hunter green stock carries AccuFit V2 and interchangeable grip modules, and the beavertail forend adds an integral ARCA rail alongside the M-Lok slots, so a tripod clamp mounts without an adapter.

Check the thread pitch before you buy a can for one. Savage cuts the .22-bore chamberings, 5.56 NATO, 22 ARC, 22-250, and 22 Creedmoor, at 1/2x28, and everything from 6mm ARC up, including .300 Blackout, .308, and 338 ARC, at 5/8x24. Twist varies just as widely, from 1:7 on the 22 ARC to 1:12 on the 22-250.

Do not read the Ultralite name as featherweight here. Savage lists the 16.5-inch 300 Blackout and 338 ARC at 7.14 pounds, the 18-inch guns at 7.3, and the 22-inch guns at 7.74, which makes the Predator the heaviest rifle in the family despite having the shortest barrels. The 10-round magazine, the ARCA rail, and the beavertail forend are where the carbon barrel's savings go. That is the right trade for shooting off a tripod on a stand, and the wrong one if you are carrying the rifle all day.

The 16.5-inch 300 Blackout and 338 ARC builds are the interesting ones for suppressed night work, since both cartridges were designed around short barrels and a can. Our coyote hunting rifle guide works through the caliber and thermal decisions that drive this build.

Savage 110 Ultralite Predator

Predator and varmint work: 0 MOA rail, 10-round AICS mags, ARCA forend

$1626.24

  • +0 MOA rail suits realistic predator distances better than a canted base
Cons
  • Heaviest rifle in the Ultralite family at 7.14 to 7.74 lb, despite wearing the line's shortest barrels

Impulse Ultralite Pro: The Straight-Pull Option

The Impulse Ultralite Pro puts Savage's straight-pull action into the Ultralite stock, one step above the 110 Ultralite Pro. It keeps the Impulse hallmarks, a DLC-coated bolt body and an ambidextrous multi-positional bolt handle that relocates for left- or right-hand shooters, and adds the AccuFit V2 stock, interchangeable grip modules, and M-Lok panels the rest of the family gets.

The barreled action is Blackout Cerakoted with an integral 20 MOA rail, and the carbon fiber barrel runs 18 to 24 inches with an Omniport brake on the threaded muzzle. Chamberings track the Pro's list and add 25 Creedmoor: 22 Creedmoor, 25 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 7mm PRC, 7mm Backcountry, 300 WSM, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 300 PRC, in both Woodland and Western camo.

The step up from the 110 Ultralite Pro buys the straight-pull action, and almost nothing else on the spec sheet changes: same AccuFit V2 stock, same carbon barrel range, same 20 MOA rail, same AICS feed. That makes it a clean decision. If a faster cycling stroke is worth the premium, take it. If you have never felt limited by a turn-bolt on a hunt, the Pro is the same rifle for less.

110 Ultralite Elite V2: What V2 Actually Changes

The V2 suffix is not a cosmetic refresh. Savage uses it for carryover 110 models that received the new-generation action while keeping their old exterior, and the substance is a redesigned bolt face with dual ejectors and an updated extractor, plus an updated magazine and new chambering options. The other V2 rifles are the 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2, 110 KLYM V2, and 110 Scout V2.

On the Elite V2 that action sits in an MDT HNT26 chassis: a magnesium center section in Gun Metal Grey Cerakote with a carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber grip, and a foam-filled folding carbon buttstock. MDT lists the HNT26 starting at 26 ounces, with the folding and ARCA-equipped configurations landing near 31 ounces. Comb height and length of pull adjust on the chassis, four quarter-inch LOP spacers are included, and an ARCA rail is integrated into the forend. The barrel is a PROOF Research carbon fiber wrapped stainless tube, 18 to 22 inches, threaded 5/8x24 and capped with the Omniport brake. The buttstock folds, taking about 9 inches off overall length, which is the feature that makes this rifle work lashed to a pack rather than slung. Savage's spec sheets list 5.8 pounds for the 22-inch 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.2 pounds for the 20-inch 300 PRC, with the rest of the range between them.

Chamberings are 6.5 Creedmoor in 18 and 22 inches, 308 Winchester in 18 inches, 7mm Backcountry in 18 inches, and 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 300 WSM, 7mm PRC, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 300 PRC in 20 inches, all on a 3-round AICS magazine. The 6.8 Western and 300 PRC are the two new for 2026, and current retail is $2,834.91.

Savage 110 Ultralite Elite V2

Lightest in the family at 5.8 to 6.2 lb: folding MDT HNT26 chassis and a PROOF Research barrel

$2834.91
MSRP

Top of the Ultralite line: PROOF Research carbon-wrapped stainless barrel in an MDT HNT26 magnesium and carbon chassis with a folding buttstock, integrated ARCA rail, 5/8x24 threaded muzzle, and a 20 MOA one-piece rail. Routed to the Battlehawk Armory 6.5 Creedmoor 18-inch listing, SKU 33046.

Pros
  • +5.8 to 6.2 pounds with a detachable magazine, folding stock, and ARCA rail included
  • +Folding buttstock cuts packed length for frame-pack and bush-plane trips
  • +PROOF Research barrel rather than a generic carbon wrap
Cons
  • Costs substantially more than an Ultralite Pro for about three-quarters of a pound saved
  • 3-round magazine capacity is low for anything but hunting
  • A sub-6-pound magnum kicks hard once the brake comes off for a suppressor
Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, .300 WSM, 7mm PRC, 7mm Backcountry, .300 Win Mag, .300 PRCBarrel: 18 inches on 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, and 7mm Backcountry, 20 inches on the magnums, 22 inches on the long 6.5 Creedmoor SKUWeight: 5.8 to 6.2 lb depending on chambering, 6 lb on the routed 18 inch 6.5 Creedmoor SKU

Which Ultralite to Buy

Buy the Predator if you shoot varmints and predators. The flat 0 MOA rail, the 10-round magazine, and the 16.5-inch 300 Blackout and 338 ARC builds are all aimed at that job, and it is the cheapest rifle in the family. Buy the Pro if you hunt big game and want the widest chambering menu and a 20 MOA rail for reach on the same adjustable stock. The two sit close enough on price that this is a spec decision, not a budget one.

The Impulse Ultralite Pro earns its premium only if you want the straight-pull stroke, because everything else matches the Pro. The Elite V2 is a different argument: it costs far more than the Pro, and what that buys is the folding MDT HNT26 chassis, the PROOF Research barrel, and the only rifle in the family that breaks 6 pounds in the right direction. That is a backcountry-mileage purchase, not a general hunting purchase. Our catalog carries the optics, mounts, and AICS magazines that finish any of them. If 308 is your chambering, our .308 rifle guide covers the bolt guns and semi-autos in the same money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Savage 110 Ultralite?
The family runs from the 110 Ultralite Predator at the bottom to the 110 Ultralite Elite V2 at the top, with the 110 Ultralite Pro and the straight-pull Impulse Ultralite Pro between them. The Predator and the base Pro are separated by less than the cost of a scope mount, so the choice between them is a spec decision rather than a budget one: the Predator gets a flat 0 MOA rail and 10-round magazines, the Pro gets a 20 MOA rail and thirteen chamberings. The Elite V2 costs substantially more than either, and that premium buys the folding MDT HNT26 chassis and the PROOF Research barrel. Current retail prices are on the product cards in this article.
What makes the Savage 110 Ultralight so light?
Most of the weight comes out of the barrel and the stock. Every rifle in the family uses a carbon fiber barrel, which removes most of the mass a steel sporter barrel carries out front. The 110 Ultralite Pro and Predator also skeletonize the receiver and pair it with a polymer stock, while the 110 Ultralite Elite V2 goes further with a PROOF Research carbon-wrapped stainless barrel and the MDT HNT26 chassis, which uses a magnesium center section with a carbon fiber forend, grip, and foam-filled buttstock. MDT lists the HNT26 starting at 26 ounces, and the folding and ARCA-equipped versions at roughly 31 ounces. Savage's per-SKU spec sheets put the Elite V2 between 5.8 and 6.2 pounds depending on chambering, even though its marketing copy rounds that to roughly 5 pounds. The 110 Ultralite Pro is heavier at 6.78 pounds in 6.5 Creedmoor, and the Predator is the heaviest in the family at 7.14 to 7.74 pounds, where the 10-round magazine and the ARCA-railed beavertail forend spend the weight the carbon barrel saved.
What does the V2 designation mean on a Savage 110?
V2 marks a carryover 110 model that received the new-generation action updates while keeping its previous exterior styling. Savage says the main change is a redesigned bolt face with dual ejectors and an updated extractor for better feeding, stronger ejection, and more reliable extraction, along with an updated magazine (or AICS) and new chambering options. The V2 rifles are the 110 Ultralite Elite V2, 110 Trail Hunter Lite V2, 110 KLYM V2, and 110 Scout V2.
What is AccuFit V2?
AccuFit V2 is Savage's updated stock fitting system, and it moves length of pull and comb height to toolless adjustment instead of the swappable spacers and comb inserts of the original AccuFit. It appears on the 110 Ultralite Pro, 110 Ultralite Predator, and Impulse Ultralite Pro, all of which also take interchangeable grip modules so the grip angle can be changed without replacing the stock. The 110 Ultralite Elite V2 handles the same job through the MDT HNT26 chassis, which adjusts comb height and length of pull and ships with four quarter-inch LOP spacers.
What calibers is the Savage 110 Ultralite Predator chambered in?
Savage lists nine chamberings for the 110 Ultralite Predator, all fed by a 10-round AICS magazine: 5.56x45mm NATO and 22 ARC in 18-inch, 22-250 Remington and 22 Creedmoor in 22-inch, 6mm ARC in 18-inch, 6.5 Creedmoor in both 18-inch and 22-inch, 300 AAC Blackout and 338 ARC in 16.5-inch, and 308 Winchester in 18-inch. Every caliber is also offered in a left-hand configuration.
Does the Savage 110 Ultralite Elite V2 fold?
Yes. The MDT HNT26 chassis on the 110 Ultralite Elite V2 uses a folding carbon fiber buttstock that takes about 9 inches off overall length, which is what makes the rifle work strapped to a pack. The buttstock is foam-filled to cut noise and vibration, and the chassis carries an integrated ARCA rail on the forend for tripod work. Barrel lengths run 18 to 22 inches with a 5/8x24 threaded muzzle wearing Savage's Omniport brake, and Savage lists the rifle between 5.8 and 6.2 pounds depending on chambering.
