Savage 110 Apex Predator XP .204 Ruger 20in Camo w/ Scope
If you’re after a varmint rifle that’s ready to hunt right out of the box, the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP .204 Ruger 20in Camo w/ Scope is a solid pick. This bolt-action comes chambered in the flat-shooting .204 Ruger, packing a 20-inch carbon steel barrel, a Mossy Oak Terra synthetic stock with adjustable length of pull, and a mounted, bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×44 scope on a one-piece EGW rail. It’s built for predator and varmint work, and Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, creep-free pull right from the factory. Per Savage’s specs, the overall weight is around 7.5 pounds—light enough to carry all day on a prairie dog town.

Key Features
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger — Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, so you get a crisp, safe break that helps you shoot tighter groups on small varmints.
- Mounted & Bore-Sighted Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×44 Scope — Why it matters: This package saves you time and money—the scope is already mounted on a one-piece EGW rail with medium rings and bore-sighted, so you’re ready to zero and hunt, not mess with hardware.
- Threaded Barrel with Thread Protector — Why it matters: The 20-inch barrel is threaded (5/8×24), letting you add a suppressor or muzzle brake for recoil reduction or noise control, which is huge for extended shooting sessions.
- Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) — Why it matters: The Mossy Oak Terra stock lets you tweak the LOP from 12.5 to 14.5 inches, so the rifle fits you—whether you’re wearing a heavy jacket or shooting in a t-shirt.
- Removable 4-Round Box Magazine — Why it matters: Quick reloads and easy unloading without fumbling with internal mags, plus the .204 Ruger cartridge gives you flat trajectories and minimal recoil for fast follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for recreational shooters and first-time buyers who want a dedicated varmint or predator rifle that’s ready to hunt without extra upgrades. If you’re after coyotes, prairie dogs, or ground squirrels, the .204 Ruger delivers flat trajectories and high velocity—perfect for long-range precision on small targets. It’s also a great choice for new bolt-action owners because the AccuTrigger is easy to adjust, and the included scope means you don’t need to buy glass separately.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Ready-to-hunt package with quality Vortex scope; adjustable trigger and stock fit a wide range of shooters; threaded barrel for suppressor use; lightweight at 7.5 lbs; affordable price point under $800.
Cons: The .204 Ruger is a specialty caliber—ammo can be harder to find and pricier than .223 Rem or .22-250, so stock up when you see it.
