Savage 110 Ultralite Shaves The Weight
Five of these new Savage 110 Ultralite rifles tip the scales at a mere 5.8 pounds, while the other three top out at six pounds even.
“The 110 Ultralite is a highly refined Model 110,” said Jessica Treglia, senior brand manager at Savage Arms. “Our engineers have gone to great lengths to strip weight off the rifle, without sacrificing any of its functionality or accuracy. With the additional weight reduction from the Proof Research barrel, you’ll instantly feel the difference.”
Those Proof Research carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrels, provided specifically for this Ultralite series, are a big reason Savage is able to offer rifles this light. These Ultralite rifles also a skeletonized stainless steel receiver with protective matte black Melonite finish. The spiral-fluted bolt cuts even more weight while maintaining sufficient strength.

The stock on the Ultralite rifles is gray, contrasting nicely with the matte black receiver.
