About this product
The Savage 110 Brush Hunter .338 Win Mag 20″ Threaded Stainless is a no-nonsense bolt-action hunting rifle built for dense timber and heavy cover. Chambered in .338 Winchester Magnum with a 20-inch threaded stainless barrel, it delivers the knockdown power you need on big game without the extra length that hangs up in brush. This is a working rifle for hunters who spend more time in the field than at the range.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger System – Why it matters: You can adjust the trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, giving you a crisp, clean break that helps you shoot more accurately in the field.
- 20″ Threaded Stainless Barrel – Why it matters: The shorter barrel keeps the rifle maneuverable in tight cover, and the factory threading lets you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake without extra work. According to Savage Arms specs, the barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy.
- Adjustable Iron Sights – Why it matters: If your scope gets knocked out of zero or you’re hunting in wet conditions, the rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation so you can keep hunting without a backup optic.
- Detachable Box Magazine – Why it matters: Reloading is faster than internal magazines, and you can carry a spare magazine for quick follow-up shots on a running animal.
- Muzzle Brake – Why it matters: The factory-installed brake reduces recoil felt from the .338 Win Mag by about 30%, making it more comfortable to shoot during practice sessions and follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who works heavy brush, thick timber, or tight canyons where a 24-inch barrel catches every branch. It’s also for the shooter who wants a .338 Win Mag they can actually carry all day without feeling like they’re hauling a boat anchor. If you’re after elk, moose, or big bear and you need a rifle that runs reliably in rain, snow, or mud, the 110 Brush Hunter fits the bill.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Short, handy 20″ barrel; factory threaded muzzle; AccuTrigger for a clean pull; stainless steel resists rust; adjustable iron sights included; affordable price for a stainless .338 Win Mag.
- Cons: The synthetic stock has a basic feel and lacks adjustable cheek rest or length of pull; the .338 Win Mag recoil is still stout even with the brake; the detachable magazine can be stiff to insert when full.
