Breaking Down the Differences in the New Model 110 Rifles
Have you had a chance to check out the new Model 110 rifles yet?? When you do, you may find yourself looking at some rifles that look similar to each other. You’ll also find a few names like “Trophy”, “Core”, “Pro”, and others. So, what do these different designations mean? And what are the differences between each of these new rifles? Well, that’s why we’re here to help break it all down! Read on to see the differences between each of the new Model 110 rifles and see which one may be the best fit for you!
Trophy Series
The Trophy Series is the entry level of the new Model 110 rifles. This series of rifles, while still feature packed, features a few less features and a more affordable price point. These rifles feature a simplified gray Trophy stock, which does not have interchangeable grip modules or comb height adjustment. They also have corrosion resistant finishes, threaded barrels, and jeweled bolt handles. Here’s a full model rundown.
Carbon Hunter
The 110 Carbon Hunter stands out from other Trophy Series rifles in one main area. It features a BSF carbon fiber wrapped barrel! It brings premium carbon fiber performance at a great price point. Weighing in just under 7 pounds, the Carbon Hunter is one of the lightest models in the new 110 lineup. Not only is it light, it’s also affordable, featuring an MSRP of $1,149. If you’re looking to dip your toe into a rifle with a carbon fiber barrel, the 110 Carbon Hunter is the best place to start! 
Trail Blazer / Trail Blazer XP
Coming in at $719 MSRP, the 110 Trail Blazer is the most affordable of the new Model 110 rifles. Don’t let that modest price tag fool you; this rifle still has plenty to offer. Featuring a straight fluted, threaded barrel, Cerakote finish, LimbSaver recoil pad, and length of pull adjustment, the Trail Blazer is a feature packed entry rifle that is user friendly and easy to shoot. Plus, it features several new calibers, including 22 ARC, 22 Creedmoor, 300 HAM’R, 338 ARC, 25 Creedmoor, and 7mm Backcountry. The Trail Blazer XP package also comes with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 scope for a great ready-to-hunt package. 
Ridge Hunter
The 110 Ridge Hunter is the Trophy Series rifle built for big game hunts in close quarters. This rifle is built for harsh, wet conditions, with a stainless-steel finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance. The Ridge Hunter also features iron sights, so you can quick acquire the perfect sight picture in close quarter encounters. The AICS pattern magazine also brings plenty of capacity and support for aftermarket magazines. The Ridge Hunter also features some hard-hitting calibers for big game, including 375 Ruger, 338 Win Mag, and 7mm Backcountry.

Core Series
The Core Series is the new standard of Model 110 rifles. These rifles are feature packed for the everyday hunter, and include plenty of adjustability and customization potential. Key features include the AccuFit V2 adjustment system, threaded barrels, forend M-Lok panels, and Cerakote finish for barrels and actions. These rifles also feature jeweled bolts, one-piece rails, and threaded bolt handles, offering a vast range of features that make them one of the most feature rich factory rifle yet. Here are the different Core Series models.
Core Hunter
The Core Hunter is the heart of the new Model 110 rifles, with all the features you can expect from the Core Series rifle in a gray AccuFit V2 stock and Black Ink Cerakote action and barrel. The Core Hunter features straight fluting in the barrel, and a standard Savage magazine. What makes the Core Hunter stand out? It’s chambered in 34 different cartridges, making it the perfect base rifle for those looking for a unique build, or just those looking for a different caliber to add to their safe!
Core Tactical
For the target shooters and tactical users, the 110 Core Tactical has all the features you need to keep a stable, steady sight picture. The major difference between the Core Tactical and the Core Hunter is the forend of the stock. The 110 Core Tactial features a Coyote tan stock with a wide, beavertail forend. This forend is flatter, allowing for better support for shooters using a shooting bag. It also allows us to mold an ARCA rail directly into the forend, as well as adding in 4 M-Lok slots for accessory additions.
The Core Tactical also features some other additions long range shooters will enjoy. An included 20 MOA rail, large tactical bolt knob, and AICS magazine are great for competitors. The AccuTrigger in the Core Tactical adjusts from 1.5 - 4 pounds, and the barrel lengths are longer are many calibers for added velocity for longer range shots.
Core Predator
The 110 Core Predator shares many of the same features as the 110 Core Tactical. The stock has a wide, beavertail forend with an ARCA rail and M-Lok panels, it utilizes AICS magazines, has an upgraded AccuTrigger, and features the full suite of Core Series features. The 110 Core Predator is focused in on predator hunting, with the caliber selection reflecting that. You’ll find the Core Predator chambered in many popular predator hunting calibers, like 22 Creedmoor, 5.56, 22-250, and others. 
Pro Series
The Pro Series carries the ultimate feature set of the new Model 110 rifles. Building upon the features of the Core Series, the Pro Series adds in camo stocks in either a Savage Woodland or Savage Western pattern, skeletonized stainless-steel receivers with a Cerakote finish, Omniport muzzle brakes, and carbon fiber bolt knobs. Here’s the full list of features you can find on the Pro Series.
- AccuFit V2
- Camo stock patterns
- Threaded barrels
- Blackout Cerakote bolts
- M-Lok panels
- Carbon fiber bolt knobs
- 20 MOA rails
- AICS Magazines
- Omniport muzzle brakes
- Skeletonized stainless steel receivers with Cerakote
- Enhanced AccuTrigger 1.5 - 4 pounds
The Pro Series is made up of two new Model 110 rifles. The 110 Core Hunter Pro, and the 110 Ultralite Pro. Let’s take a look at each!
CORE Hunter Pro
The 110 Core Hunter Pro has all the features you could want on a factory rifle! Immense adjustability and customization options, compatibility with popular magazines, an upgraded AccuTrigger, and threaded barrels are just a few of the options these rifles come with. So, what else makes the Core Hunter Pro stand out? The barrel and receiver are both constructed with stainless steel and feature a great looking and durable Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote. The barrels are spiral fluted for improved heat dissipation and weight reduction, and the spiral fluted bolt helps improve both looks and performance.

Ultralite Pro
The Ultralite Pro has the same great features set as the Core Hunter Pro, but with a few key differences. The receiver has a Blackout Cerakote finish, rather than the Gun Metal Bronze. Like the name suggests, the Ultralite Pro emphasizes weight savings. Once again, our Ultralite models will feature PROOF Research barrels for their tremendous accuracy and weight savings that are offered by using carbon fiber. The bolt is also diamond fluted, rather than spiral fluted, and also features a Blackout Cerakote finish.

Ultralite Predator
While not officially part of the Pro Series, this rifle brings pro level performance for the most die-hard predator hunters. The Ultralite Predator has the same great feature set as the 110 Core Predator but uses a PROOF Resesarch carbon fiber wrapped barrel instead of the standard carbon steel barrel. The result? A predator rifle that turns up the accuracy and precision to 11 and puts down packs of predators night after night.
Additional Models
The improvements found on the new Model 110 rifles stretch out to more than just the series we’ve covered. The Impulse rifles and slug shotguns have also received substantial upgrades similar to the new Model 110 rifles! Here’s an overview of some additional models outside of our main series.
Impulse
The speed and precision of the Impulse has also received an upgrade for 2026! We’re rolling out four new Impulse models that mirror their 110 counterparts, but with the Impulse features you love like its speedy straight-pull action, integral 20 MOA rail, and the ambidextrous bolt handle. The new line will feature the Impulse Core Hunter, Impulse Core Hunter Pro, Impulse Core Predator, and Impulse Ultralite Pro.

Harvester
The 212 and 220 slug guns are beloved by whitetail hunters across the Midwest, so naturally, we couldn't leave them out of the fun! The 212 and 220 slug guns have been renamed the Harvester Series, and they still pack plenty of punch. Gray and woodland camo stocks are available, and the stocks are the same style as the 110 Core Tactical and 110 Core Predator stocks with included ARCA rails and M-Lok slots for using bipods and tripods easily. They come with a one-piece rail for easily attaching optics, and the 20-gauge Harvester model is also available in a left-handed action.
There are plenty of options to choose from with the new Model 110 rifles. From the basic Trophy Series rifles to the feature packed Pro and Ultralite Series, there’s an option to fit nearly any hunter and shooters’ budget and feature set. Whether you just need a reliable whitetail rig, or a tactical rifle that’s just as comfortable on the range as it is in the field, the new Model 110 rifles offer plenty of options to fit your style perfectly.
