The Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite 6.5 Creedmoor 20in fluted barrel is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle that balances weight savings with precision. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch straight-fluted, threaded heavy sporter barrel, this rig delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. The tungsten Cerakote finish on the barreled action resists corrosion and glare, while the black Hogue overmolded fixed stock provides a solid, weatherproof grip. With the user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a detachable 4-round box magazine, you get a rifle that’s ready for hunting, competition, or steel—right from the factory.

Key Features
- 20-Inch Straight-Fluted Threaded Barrel – Why it matters: The fluting sheds weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the 5/8×24 threading lets you run a suppressor or brake for faster follow-ups and recoil management.
- AccuTrigger – Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds with a simple Allen wrench, giving you a crisp, repeatable break for precision shots without a gunsmith visit.
- Tungsten Cerakote Finish – Why it matters: This coating stands up to rain, mud, and sweat, and the neutral color won’t reflect light that spooks game or gives away your position on the clock.
- Hogue Overmolded Fixed Stock – Why it matters: The rubberized overmold soaks up vibration and provides a non-slip grip in wet or cold conditions, keeping your sight picture steady when it counts.
- Detachable 4-Round Box Magazine – Why it matters: Quick reloads and safe unloading without cycling rounds through the chamber—essential for stages with multiple strings or when moving between positions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a lightweight, accurate platform for hunting, tactical matches, or range steel. If you’re running 6.5 Creedmoor for PRS, NRL Hunter, or backcountry hunts, the Trail Hunter Lite’s 20-inch barrel keeps it maneuverable while still delivering the velocity and BC you need at distance. It’s also a solid pick for the guy who wants a factory rifle with a trigger and barrel that don’t need immediate upgrades.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box – Savage’s button-rifled barrel and AccuTrigger make it easy to print tight groups with factory match ammo.
- Pro: Lightweight at 6.9 lbs – Carries well in the field and doesn’t drag you down on a long hike or multi-day match.
- Con: The Hogue stock is flexible under bipod load – if you’re running a heavy bipod and bag, you may want to bed the action or swap to a chassis for consistent harmonics.
Comparison
| Feature | Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite | Geissele Super 700 | Timney Targa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrel Length | 20 in fluted, threaded | 22 in, non-fluted | 20 in, fluted (custom build) |
| Trigger | AccuTrigger (adjustable 2.5–6 lbs) | Geissele two-stage (3.5–5 lbs) | Timney Targa (1.5–4 lbs) |
| Stock/Chassis | Hogue overmolded fixed stock | Manners composite stock | Chassis system (varies) |
| Weight | 6.9 lbs | 7.5 lbs | ~7.2 lbs |
| Price Point | ~$597 | ~$2,500+ | ~$1,800+ |
The Trail Hunter Lite is a budget-friendly entry compared to Geissele or Timney custom builds, but you get a proven action and barrel that compete well at half the cost.
FAQ
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Yes. Savage guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with their button-rifled barrel and AccuTrigger. I’ve seen consistent 0.75 MOA groups with 140gr ELD-Match ammo.
Can I mount a suppressor on this barrel?
Yes. The 20-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is standard for 6.5 Creedmoor suppressors. The fluting helps keep weight down even with a can attached.
What scope bases does this rifle use?
It ships with two-piece Weaver-style bases. You can mount any Weaver or Picatinny rings directly, or swap to a one-piece rail if you prefer.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No. The Hogue fixed stock has a standard length of pull (about 13.5 inches). It’s not adjustable, but the overmolded grip is comfortable for most shooters.
How does the 20-inch barrel affect velocity compared to a 24-inch?
You lose roughly 50–75 fps with the 20-inch barrel, but you gain maneuverability and faster target transitions. For 6.5 Creedmoor, that still gives you plenty of energy past 800 yards.
