About this product
The SAV 32509 110 Ridge Hunter LH 308 18 FDG represents a deliberate return to the principles of a serious hunting rifle—one built for the left-handed shooter who demands reliability, accuracy, and a no-nonsense approach in the field. Chambered in .308 Winchester with an 18-inch barrel and finished in a flat dark gray (FDG) Cerakote, this bolt-action is as practical as it is purposeful. It’s a rifle that understands its role: to place a shot where it needs to go, time after time, in conditions that test both man and machine.

Key Features
- Left-Hand Action with Right-Hand Port: The left-handed bolt throw allows natural cycling for southpaws, while the right-side ejection port keeps brass clear of the shooter’s line of sight—critical for quick follow-up shots in thick cover.
- 18-Inch Medium Contour Barrel: Shorter barrels reduce overall length for maneuverability in dense timber or while climbing ridgelines, yet the medium contour retains enough mass for consistent accuracy over multiple shots.
- AccuTrigger: Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger lets the shooter dial in a crisp, creep-free pull from 1.5 to 6 pounds. This is not a gimmick—it’s a proven system that transforms a factory trigger into a precision tool.
- AccuStock: The aluminum bedding block system free-floats the barrel and locks the action into a rigid foundation, eliminating stock flex that can shift point of impact. For a hunting rifle, this means confidence in the field.
- FDG Cerakote Finish: The flat dark gray Cerakote is more than cosmetic—it provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare, helping the rifle blend into rocky, arid, or alpine environments without reflecting sunlight.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the left-handed hunter who has spent years making do with right-handed actions or paying a premium for custom builds. It’s for the shooter who values function over flash, who wants a .308 that can handle elk, deer, or black bear without unnecessary weight or complexity. The 18-inch barrel suits those who hunt in tight quarters—think timber, brush, or mountain saddles—where a long barrel is a liability. If you’re a collector or enthusiast who appreciates a rifle that was designed with a specific purpose and executed without compromise, the 110 Ridge Hunter LH deserves a place in your safe.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: True left-hand action at a price point that doesn’t punish southpaws; AccuTrigger and AccuStock deliver out-of-the-box accuracy; FDG Cerakote is durable and low-glare; 18-inch barrel balances handling and velocity.
- Cons: The 18-inch barrel reduces muzzle velocity by roughly 75–100 fps compared to a 22-inch barrel in .308—an important consideration for long-range shooters who prioritize flat trajectory over portability.

The Tikka T3x Lite LH offers a smoother bolt feel and slightly lighter weight, but you’ll pay a premium and the left-hand port can be awkward for right-handed shooters spotting through a scope. The Ruger American Go Wild LH is lighter and cheaper, but lacks the AccuStock’s rigid bedding system, which can affect consistency under field conditions. The Savage 110 Ridge Hunter LH strikes a middle ground: proven accuracy features without the high price tag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rifle compatible with detachable box magazines?
Yes, the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter LH uses AICS pattern detachable box magazines. It ships with a 4-round magazine, and aftermarket options up to 10 rounds are available from Accurate-Mag or MDT.What is the twist rate on the 18-inch barrel?
The barrel has a 1:10-inch twist rate, which is optimal for stabilizing .308 bullets in the 150–180 grain range—the sweet spot for hunting loads.Can the AccuTrigger be adjusted without a gunsmith?
Yes. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable using the included Allen wrench. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pull weight, counterclockwise to decrease it. Always verify with a trigger pull gauge after adjustment.Does the FDG Cerakote require special maintenance?
No. The Cerakote finish is highly durable and corrosion-resistant. Clean the barrel and action as normal, and wipe down the exterior with a light coat of oil to protect exposed metal. Avoid abrasive solvents on the finish itself.What scope base does this rifle accept?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage 110 short-action scope bases. Most standard two-piece bases (e.g., Weaver, Leupold) will fit. For a one-piece base, look for models designed specifically for Savage 110 short actions with a left-hand ejection port.Ready to Order
