Precision hunters and tactical shooters who prioritize a lightweight, stiff platform will appreciate a rifle that pairs modern composites with proven action geometry. The following review covers build details, on-range expectations, and practical applications for a short-barreled precision bolt gun optimized for 6.5mm performance.

SAVAGE ARMS 110 ULTRALITE ELITE —

This iteration of the Model 110 maximizes weight savings without sacrificing structural rigidity. At just 6 pounds, the Ultralite Elite brings a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel from Proof Research together with MDT’s HNT26 folding carbon fiber stock finished in Gun Metal Grey Cerakote for real-world durability. Shop this product and see how the balance and portability suit your kit.

Key features

The rifle ships chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor with an 18-inch Proof Research barrel — a combination that shortens the package while retaining the long-range ballistics shooters want. The carbon wrap reduces barrel mass and improves cool-down behavior for follow-up shots. The cerakoted, diamond-fluted bolt reduces rotating mass and adds corrosion resistance, while Savage’s AccuTrigger provides a user-adjustable, crisp trigger break for precision shooting. An omniport muzzle brake helps tame recoil from larger cartridges and the picatinny rail allows instant optics mounting out of the box.

Platform advantages and use cases

6.5mm Creedmoor is an excellent match here: it delivers flat trajectories, strong long-range downrange energy, and wide ammunition availability — ideal for hunting medium game, competition, or precision training. The 18-inch barrel shortens overall length for alpine or vehicle carry without giving up terminal performance at practical engagement ranges.

Included is one 3-round magazine and the overall MSRP sits at $2,961.99 — a premium price that reflects the Proof Research barrel and folding carbon stock that keep the package ultralight and mission-ready. For additional technical specs and to purchase, View product details and pricing.

Whether you’re extracting extra miles on a mountain stalk or setting up for precision practice from a compact shooting position, the Ultralite Elite balances repeatable accuracy with real-world portability.
