Savage Arms’ 110 Carbon Tactical offers good balance and pairs together an exclusive PROOF Research stainless steel, carbon-fiber-wrapped, cut-rifled barrel with a rigid AccuFit Stock with AccuStock bedding, which secures the action three-dimensionally along its entire length. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger, threaded barrel, three sling swivel studs and beavertail forend round out the added performance features of this model.
The Model 110 Carbon Tactical’s action got a factory blueprint job before assembly. What this means is that the mating surfaces between the bolt’s lugs and the receiver were machined to make full contact. One of our evaluators, Modzelewski, regularly gets $350 to blueprint an action at his gun shop. That level of machining should be considered when looking at the gun’s price tag.

It features a matte black carbon steel receiver, drilled and tapped (8-40), and comes with a 1-piece 20-MOA rail. An AICS-pattern detachable box magazine holding 10 rounds comes with the rifle.
It should be noted that this Savage was tested by the group with a GPO Spectre 6X 4.5-27x50i optic. It printed multiple sub-MOA groups, with a 0.662-inch group at 100 yards. Overall, it averaged 0.908 MOA for all shooters at all ranges.
The Carbon Tactical’s $1,789 MSRP gets a reality check to about $1,460 plus shipping on Guns.com. The one negative that hammered this rifle’s potential in the ranking was its faulty extraction. A weak extractor would dump the empty on top of the stack of loaded rounds about half the time the bolt was racked back.
