SAV 32498 110 RIDGE HUNTER 308 18 FDG

For the shooter who respects the lineage of American rifle design, the SAV 32498 110 Ridge Hunter in .308 Winchester with an 18-inch barrel and factory-installed FDG (Flat Dark Earth) stock represents a modern take on the classic Savage 110 action. This is a rifle built for rugged mountain hunting, where every ounce of weight and inch of barrel length matters. The primary keyword, sav 32498 110 ridge hunter 308 18 fdg, identifies this exact configuration: a production-ready, field-tested bolt gun that balances portability with the proven accuracy of Savage’s adjustable trigger system. Whether you’re glassing steep ridges or tracking through timber, this rifle is a tool designed to put meat in the freezer without the fuss of custom builds.

Key Features

• Adjustable AccuTrigger: The factory trigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, allowing you to dial in a crisp, creep-free break that enhances precision at distance. Why it matters: A consistent trigger pull is the foundation of accurate shooting, especially when cold or on uneven terrain.
• 18-inch Carbon Steel Barrel: The shorter barrel reduces overall length to just over 40 inches, making the rifle easier to maneuver in dense cover or from a vehicle. Why it matters: In a hunting scenario, a compact rifle means faster target acquisition and less fatigue on long stalks.
• Flat Dark Earth Synthetic Stock: The FDG stock is weather-resistant and features a textured grip surface, plus aluminum bedding pillars for consistent action-to-stock fit. Why it matters: A stable stock prevents accuracy-robbing shifts from temperature changes or moisture during extended backcountry trips.
• User-Rotary Magazine: The detachable box magazine holds four rounds of .308 Winchester (standard capacity) and allows for quick reloads or unloading without cycling rounds through the action. Why it matters: Safety and convenience, especially when crossing fences or entering vehicles.
• Oversized Bolt Handle: The knurled, oversized bolt handle provides positive grip even with gloved hands, ensuring reliable cycling in cold or wet conditions. Why it matters: A stuck bolt in the field can end a hunt; this handle reduces that risk.

Who It’s For

The 110 Ridge Hunter is built for the serious mountain hunter who values reliability over flash. It suits the shooter who appreciates the history of the Savage 110 platform—a design that has been in continuous production since 1958—and wants a factory rifle that shoots sub-MOA out of the box. It is also ideal for the collector who seeks a modern, utilitarian piece that reflects the evolution of American bolt-action rifles. This is not a benchrest competition gun; it is a working rifle for the field.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Proven Savage 110 action; user-adjustable AccuTrigger; lightweight for its class (7.2 lbs); compact 18-inch barrel; durable FDG synthetic stock; detachable box magazine; affordable price point under $900.
• Cons: The factory synthetic stock, while functional, lacks the rigidity of higher-end chassis systems; the 18-inch barrel results in a velocity loss of approximately 100-150 fps compared to a 22-inch barrel, which can affect long-range trajectory beyond 500 yards.

Comparison vs. Competitors

The Savage offers a heavier barrel profile than the Ruger American Predator, which helps with heat dissipation during multiple shots, while the Tikka T3x is lighter but typically comes with a longer barrel. The Savage’s AccuTrigger is widely regarded as one of the best factory triggers available, but the Tikka’s action is notably smoother out of the box. For the price, the 110 Ridge Hunter provides the best value for a dedicated mountain rifle with an adjustable trigger.
