The savage 110 ultralite elite 6.5 prc is a lightweight carbon-fiber hunting rifle that pairs a Proof Research barrel with an MDT HNT26 chassis. It’s designed for backcountry hunters who want precision without the weight penalty. At just over 6 pounds, this rifle handles like a dream on the mountain and shoots flat out to 1,000 yards.

Key Features
- Proof Research Carbon Barrel – Why it matters: This barrel is hand-lapped and stress-relieved for sub-MOA accuracy, and the carbon wrap keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness, so you can carry it all day and still ring steel at distance.
- MDT HNT26 Chassis – Why it matters: The aluminum chassis with folding carbon stock makes the rifle packable for backcountry trips, and the adjustable length of pull and cheek riser let you dial in a perfect fit for any shooter.
- AccuTrigger – Why it matters: You can adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, giving you a crisp, clean break that helps you shoot tighter groups when it counts.
- OmniPort Muzzle Brake – Why it matters: It vents gas upward and to the sides to reduce felt recoil by up to 50%, so you can spot your hits and make fast follow-up shots on game or steel.
- AICS Detachable Magazine – Why it matters: The low-profile polymer mag feeds reliably and lets you reload quickly without fumbling with internal boxes, a must for hunting or tactical use.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles off-trail and still expects match-grade accuracy. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight platform for PRS or long-range practice without the bulk of a heavy bench gun.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6.5-pound weight with a 22-inch Proof Research barrel – one of the lightest production rifles in 6.5 PRC.
- Con: The folding stock hinge can feel a little stiff out of the box – it loosens up after a few cycles, but some shooters prefer a more fluid action from the start.
