The Savage Arms 110 Bear Hunter is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .338 Winchester Magnum, built for hunting large game where you need both a hard-hitting cartridge and a rifle that can take field conditions. It wears a Mossy Oak Break-Up camo finish throughout, including the synthetic stock, and has a 23-inch fluted barrel. At 11.2 lbs it's on the heavier side, but the weight helps absorb the .338's recoil.

Features 

The AccuTrigger lets you adjust pull weight to your preference and has a built-in mechanism that prevents discharge unless the trigger is fully depressed. The fluted barrel sheds heat faster during extended shooting and keeps weight down relative to a comparable straight-profile barrel. An adjustable muzzle brake cuts felt recoil noticeably, which matters with a .338. The camo stock is synthetic and handles moisture and rough handling without warping. 
 

Who It's For 

Hunters targeting bear, elk, or other large game at moderate to long range, particularly in terrain where a camo-finished rifle is useful. The rifle's heavier build is better suited to a stand or blind setup than a long mountain carry.

The Savage 110 Bear Hunter in .338 Win Mag draws mostly positive reviews, with a few consistent gripes.

Accuracy gets the most praise. Hunters report dependable shot placement, and the bolt action's consistency shot-to-shot is a recurring point. Build quality and the camo finish hold up well in wet and rough conditions, according to owners who've used it in the field. Most shooters find the rifle manages .338 recoil better than expected given the caliber, partly because of the muzzle brake and the rifle's weight.

The weight is also the main complaint. At 11.2 lbs unscoped, it adds up over a long day afield. Some users have found the AccuTrigger adjustment process finicky until they dial it in. There's also a segment of buyers who would prefer a traditional blued or synthetic black finish over the camo, though that's purely personal preference. A few reviewers have questioned the value compared to other rifles in this price range, but that view isn't universal.

Overall, owners who prioritize downrange accuracy and durability over light weight tend to be satisfied with the 110 Bear Hunter.
