Savage Arms 58179 110 Scout 5.56 NATO 16.5" 11-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Savage Arms 110 Scout 5.56 NATO 16.5" Threaded Barrel Rifle is purpose-built for tactical professionals, law enforcement, and military operators who demand a compact, accurate platform for close-quarters and mid-range engagements. Designed around the Scout rifle concept—pioneered for rapid target acquisition and deployment in confined spaces—this rifle delivers the ballistic power of 5.56 NATO in a configuration that doesn't sacrifice performance for portability. At 11.4 pounds, it strikes the critical balance between ruggedness and maneuverability that field operators require.

The 16.5-inch barrel provides velocity retention essential for 5.56 NATO ballistics while maintaining the shorter sight radius and reduced overall length necessary for vehicle operations, building clearance, and rapid deployment from tactical positions. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors, flash hiders, or muzzle devices without additional modifications—a critical feature for noise reduction in urban operations and force protection. The 11-round magazine capacity offers a practical balance between capacity and load discipline, while the Savage 110 platform's proven bolt-action design ensures reliability in extreme conditions, minimal moving parts to maintain, and inherent accuracy that rivals semi-automatic systems when precision matters.

This rifle excels for designated marksman roles, precision support in tactical teams, and operators who prioritize hit probability and simplicity over rate of fire. The compact profile makes it ideal for vehicle-mounted configurations, helicopter operations, and low-visibility entries where every inch counts. The threaded barrel integrates seamlessly with industry-standard suppressors (1/2x28 pitch), allowing sound signature reduction without removing the muzzle device. Law enforcement precision teams, military special operations units, and professional civilian operators will find the Savage 110 Scout's combination of compact ergonomics, inherent accuracy, and modular design delivers reliable performance in demanding scenarios where equipment weight and shooting platform capabilities directly impact mission success.
