Key Features
- AccuTrigger: Lets you adjust the trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools. Why it matters: You get a crisp, clean break that helps you shoot tighter groups in the field or at the bench.
- AccuFit Adjustable Stock: Offers a comb height insert system and length-of-pull spacers. Why it matters: You can tailor the fit to your body and clothing layers, making recoil management easier and your natural point of aim more consistent.
- Button-Rifled Carbon Steel Barrel: Each barrel is rifled using a single-point cutting process for uniform grooves. Why it matters: This method delivers match-grade accuracy potential, so you can trust your shot placement on game.
- Factory-Mounted Vortex Crossfire II Scope: Comes installed and bore-sighted from the factory. Why it matters: You avoid the hassle of buying a separate scope and rings, and you can start shooting the same day you pick it up.
- Left-Hand Action: The bolt handle and ejection port are configured for left-handed shooters. Why it matters: You get a natural, fast cycling motion without breaking your cheek weld or fumbling with the bolt.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed hunters who want a turnkey solution for deer, hogs, and black bear in brushy or timbered country. The .400 Legend’s straight-wall design makes it legal in many straight-wall cartridge states, and the compact 18-inch barrel keeps it maneuverable in a stand or blind. It also suits new shooters who want a reliable bolt-action package without the hassle of piecing together a rifle and optic separately.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ready-to-hunt package saves you $150–$200 compared to buying the rifle and Vortex scope separately.
- Pro: The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable and gives a clean break that many shooters prefer over factory triggers in this price range.
- Con: The synthetic stock has a hollow feel that some shooters may want to fill with foam or add weight to balance the rifle. It does not affect accuracy, but it is worth noting if you prefer a heavier, more solid stock.
Comparison
| Feature | Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP Left Hand | Ruger American Ranch Left Hand | Winchester XPR Left Hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | .400 Legend | .450 Bushmaster | .350 Legend |
| Barrel Length | 18 inches | 16.1 inches | 22 inches |
| Scope Included | Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 | None | None |
| Trigger | AccuTrigger (adjustable) | Standard trigger | MOA Trigger (adjustable) |
| Stock Fitment | AccuFit (adjustable comb & LOP) | Fixed stock | Fixed stock |
| Price | $652.72 | ~$550 (rifle only) | ~$600 (rifle only) |
The Savage package offers the best value when you factor in the mounted scope and adjustable stock. The Ruger is lighter and handier, but you will need to buy optics separately. The Winchester offers a longer barrel for higher velocity but lacks the fit adjustments of the Savage.
FAQ
What is the effective range of the .400 Legend in this rifle?
With the 18-inch barrel and a 200-grain soft point, the .400 Legend is effective to about 200–250 yards on deer-sized game. The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 scope is well-suited for shots inside that distance.
Does this rifle come with a scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
Yes. The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP arrives with the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. You should still confirm zero at the range before hunting.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull and comb height?
Yes. The AccuFit system includes interchangeable comb inserts and length-of-pull spacers so you can customize the fit for your body and shooting style.
Can I use this rifle for target shooting or just hunting?
You can use it for both. The AccuTrigger and button-rifled barrel give it target-grade accuracy, but the .400 Legend is primarily designed for hunting. For high-volume target shooting, consider a .223 or 6.5 Creedmoor.
What is the magazine capacity?
The detachable box magazine holds 3 rounds of .400 Legend ammunition.
Why This Rifle Makes Sense
With over 1.2 million Model 110 rifles sold since its introduction, the Savage 110 platform is one of the most trusted bolt-action designs in America.

According to Savage Arms, the AccuTrigger is standard on all Model 110 rifles, and the factory-mounted scope is bore-sighted for convenience.
