Savage ULTRALIGHT Bolt Action: Carbon Fiber Precision Redefined

When a hunt demands you carry every ounce up steep terrain, gear selection becomes mission-critical. Lightweight rifles that don’t sacrifice accuracy or reliability are rare — and that’s exactly why this rifle deserves attention from anyone who climbs into alpine glassing positions or crosses long ridgelines in search of game.

SAVAGE ARMS 110 ULTRALIGHT is built for that mission. At a listed weight under 6 pounds, it blends modern materials and Savage’s time-tested action geometry to produce a rifle that’s both easy to carry and precise when it counts. Shop this product

Design and Weight: Built for the Mountain

For hunters and backcountry shooters, every ounce matters. Savage teamed up with PROOF Research to produce a carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel specifically for this platform, marrying the stiffness and durability of stainless with the weight savings of carbon fiber. The result: a rifle tuned for elevation and elements without compromising the footprint or performance of a factory blueprinted Savage 110 action.

Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel

The carbon fiber wrap reduces overall barrel weight while maintaining structural rigidity and thermal stability. PROOF Research’s barrel tech paired with a stainless steel bore gives you consistent harmonics and a lighter carry package — a distinct advantage on long approaches and high-angle shots.

Melonite Skeletonized Receiver

To pare down ounces further, Savage uses a melonite-finished skeletonized receiver. That combination reduces mass and preserves corrosion resistance and wear characteristics. It’s a practical engineering choice: fewer pounds to sling, but a receiver built to endure the stresses of a bolt-action hunting platform.

Fit and Trigger: Tailored for the Shooter

Accuracy isn’t just about barrel and bedding — it’s also about fit and trigger control. The 110 Ultralight comes equipped with Savage’s AccuFit system, which provides user-level adjustability for length of pull and comb height. That means you can fine-tune stock dimensions to the clothing and optics you use in the field, improving cheek weld, sight alignment, and ultimately shot consistency.

AccuTrigger — User Adjustable

The AccuTrigger is a hallmark of Savage’s rifle lineup. On this model it’s user adjustable, allowing shooters to set a crisp, clean break to suit their comfort and safety preferences. Proper trigger setup reduces flinch and helps deliver repeatable groups, especially important when your shooting platform is a lightweight, field-oriented rifle.

Performance Applications: Where This Rifle Excels

At roughly 6 pounds, the 110 Ultralight is purpose-designed for mountain and long-haul hunting. The weight savings enable faster movement, less fatigue, and easier elevation gains. Yet the rifle retains the pedigree of the Savage 110 action — a blueprinted platform known for consistent headspace and reliable feeding, which matters when a single shot can end a stalk.

While the product listing does not specify a single caliber (models are available in various chamberings), the platform’s strengths apply across common hunting chamberings: lighter carry weight, stable-barrel harmonics from the carbon wrap, and a bedding-friendly action that allows for consistent performance across distance and conditions.

Durability and Environmental Resistance

Melonite finishes and stainless construction make the Ultralight tougher in salt, mud, and damp alpine environments. The carbon fiber wrap insulates the barrel from rapid temperature changes, helping maintain consistent POI during heavy cadence or when the sun hits the barrel. Those are practical advantages when hunting in variable mountain weather.

Price and Buying Guidance

At $1,297.99, the SAVAGE ARMS 110 ULTRALIGHT positions itself as a serious value in the lightweight bolt action market. You’re paying for materials and engineering — PROOF Research’s barrel, a blueprinted Savage 110 action, AccuFit adjustability, and a user-adjustable AccuTrigger. For hunters prioritizing packability and accuracy, that price aligns with the component-level upgrades you get over a standard factory rifle.

Field Notes from Two Perspectives

John Wick’s take: weight and consistency are mission-critical. The Ultralight’s combination of a blueprinted Savage 110 action with a carbon-wrapped PROOF barrel delivers a compact, lethal package that’s easy to carry without giving up sight-in integrity.

Garand Thumb’s take: practical enhancements matter. Melonite treatment and skeletonized machining cut weight intelligently, and AccuFit puts stock adjustments where they do the most good — in the hands of the shooter. For a serious backcountry tool, this rifle’s engineering choices add up.

The carbon fiber wrapped stainless barrel, melonite skeletonized receiver, AccuFit adjustability, and user-adjustable AccuTrigger are tangible upgrades that work together to keep the rifle light, durable, and accurate. At $1,297.99, you’re investing in a specialized tool built around one core goal: make the climb easier without sacrificing the shot when it matters most.
