New Savage 110 Tactical

[BamaBrad]

Got a Savage 110 Tactical the other day. I am a fan of Savage rifles. I don’t shoot PRS or competition. I do shoot on my land and stretch it out 450ish and would on occasion when possible shoot further. I got it from bass pro, and looking at the specs, compared to Savage, it talks about a Blueprinted Bolt, in comparison to the 110 Desert Tactical.
I don’t see any other difference besides mine having a fluted barrel and Bass Pro saying it having a fluted barrel. I’m happy with it, it shoots good, what little I have put through it this far.
I’m getting mixed “reviews” on a Bolt lift kit for this and the BAS on the 110. Would like to get or do something to help this Bolt out.

I have a the savage 110 desert tactical. the bolt lift was rough for about 200 rounds. its smoothed out nicely and now at about 800 rounds I have no complaints. I would recommend an extractor kit instead even if theres no issues now.

Which extractor kit did you get?

Savage Extractor Ejector Kit

they are sold out right now. but I would search google you can find some others. its a pretty common problem with the savages.

@Sam_1 is absolutely correct. Even if you don't get the upgraded kit, get yourself some spare extractor parts from Savage.

Aside from the extractor issues, Savage produces a very accurate factory rifle. I started my precision rifle travels with a few Savage rifles. I still regret having sold my 10 FCP-K in .223. One of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned.

A 9/64 detent ball to replace the factory detent ball under the extractor works wonders. Cost me $.40 for 100 and I swapped out every savage I’ve owned

$.40 for 100 of the 9/16 balls? hahaha that's great

I've had my 110 Tactical for about 6 months. 300 rounds thru it. Plus about 2100 dry fire cycles as well. Everything seems pretty smoothed out on mine. Furthest I've stretched it out so far is 550. Last time out got a 6.50" 5 round group at that distance.

Looked them up. More likely the ones below. $4 for 100 seems more like it. Handed the fastenal rep $5 Like I did him a real favor lol

These are prolly the same ones
