Traveling AccuFit: Fit For All

Firearms have traditionally always been one-size-fits-all. That one size was probably based on the dimensions of the most average male shooter. Over the years, it seems like many shooters just accepted that this is the size firearms come in. But if you're not the same size and shape as the average male (AKA any female or youth shooter...or every other male shooter), you have a real problem in terms of your rifle fit! If the rifle fits your poorly, you'll never shoot up to your accuracy potential. 

Accuracy is in our DNA at Savage. It's in everything we do. We have spent the last 125 years innovating and loading our firearms with every accuracy-enhancing feature possible. But there's only so much the rifle can do. Accuracy is in the hands of the shooter too, so we want to do everything we can to make YOU, the shooter, more accurate. As we know, every hunter and shooter is different. A one-size-fits-all rifle is not the answer for us. 

In 2018, Savage set out to make one gun Fit For All with the introduction of AccuFit. Shooters can adjust the length of pull and comb height with AccuFit to dial in customized fit. It's the industry's first rifle to offer every size shooter a gunsmith-level fit customized to their body, right off the shelf.  

The Traveling AccuFit can be fit for all by adjusting the length of pull and comb height.

A year after AccuFit's debut, we wanted to up the ante -- put stock to cheek -- and prove that the Model 110 with AccuFit is truly Fit For All shooters. We traveled the country with one 110 Long Range Hunter in 280 Ackley Impoved to put AccuFit through the rigors of real-life hunting and truly test the customized fit of one rifle. Eleven shooters that varied in age, size and experience level hunted for six different species in six different states -- all with the same rifle: the Traveling AccuFit. They entered into the lifestyle of hunting in a different way. But they all shared two things: a passion for hunting and the Traveling AccuFit.

When we set out with the Traveling AccuFit in the fall, we wanted to show that one gun can be Fit For All. Over the course of the season, we learned another valuable lesson -- one gun can do it all and any hunter can too. These are the stories of eleven different shooters and THEIR AccuFits.
