Savage Arms 57074 110 Lightweight .243 Win 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Savage Arms 57074 110 Lightweight .243 Win 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle represents a purpose-built platform for hunters, sport shooters, and precision marksmen who demand genuine field weight reduction without sacrificing accuracy or durability. At 7.4 pounds, this rifle delivers the portability essential for extended backcountry hunts, mountainous terrain, or all-day shooting sessions where cumulative fatigue directly impacts shot placement and performance. The .243 Winchester cartridge offers a proven balance of trajectory, wind deflection, and energy retention suitable for medium-game hunting and competitive target work.

This rifle's bolt-action design provides the mechanical reliability and repeatability that separates field-proven platforms from novelty builds. The 20-inch barrel reduces overall length to 49 inches—optimizing handling in vehicles, blinds, and dense cover while maintaining the velocity and ballistic consistency expected from the .243 Win round. The 5-round magazine capacity strikes the practical balance between reload speed and weight, and the design philosophy prioritizes the weight savings that come from precision engineering rather than material compromise, ensuring the rifle remains rugged enough for hard field use and the inevitable contact inherent to hunting and tactical applications.

This configuration is particularly suited to long-range hunters operating in western terrain, precision rifle competitors managing fatigue across multiple stages, and shooters seeking a lightweight, purpose-driven centerfire platform with Savage's track record for shooter-friendly ergonomics and out-of-the-box accuracy. The featherweight profile makes the Savage 110 Lightweight an asset in situations where mobility and sustained accuracy are interdependent—terrain where lighter truly performs better. Compatibility with standard .243 Winchester ammunition ensures cost-effective practice and field load options without proprietary constraints.
