Built on Savage’s proven 110 action, the Core Hunter Pro Western delivers the perfect combination of portability, accuracy, and suppressor readiness for hunters who need to cover long distances on foot.

Lightweight Design for Serious Backcountry Use

Western and mountain hunters often face long, grueling hikes at high elevation. The 110 Core Hunter Pro Western was developed to meet these demands with a significantly reduced overall weight. The 16.5-inch fluted barrel removes unnecessary material while improving heat dissipation, and the threading allows for easy attachment of a suppressor or muzzle brake.
