The Savage 110 Ultralite is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .28 Nosler, built specifically around weight reduction. At 6 lbs with a 24-inch carbon-wrapped stainless steel barrel, it is meaningfully lighter than most .28 Nosler options while maintaining the barrel length the cartridge needs for velocity. The receiver is finished in matte Melonite black; the synthetic sporter stock is gray.

Detailed Features 

 
Savage's AccuTrigger is adjustable for pull weight, which is practical on a rifle this light -- .28 Nosler generates significant recoil and a heavier trigger pull can be easier to manage during extended sessions. The carbon-wrapped barrel keeps weight down and sheds heat faster than a heavy contour steel barrel. 
 
The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle brakes. Given the caliber and the rifle's light weight, a muzzle brake is something many owners add. The synthetic stock is functional rather than premium -- it keeps the weight budget intact without adding anything special ergonomically. 
 

Target Audience 

 
The 110 Ultralite targets western big-game hunters who cover a lot of ground on foot and need .28 Nosler-class ballistics without carrying a heavy rifle. It also works for mountain hunters where every pound matters. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Hunting: The .28 Nosler at 24 inches is well-matched for long shots on elk, mule deer, and similar quarry. The 6 lb weight matters significantly on multi-day backcountry hunts. 
• Range use: The AccuTrigger adjustability helps at the bench. The 2-round capacity is the obvious limitation for high-volume practice. 
• Competitive Shooting: Less common here, but the accuracy potential is present for precision rifle formats that allow hunting-class rifles.

Owners of the Savage 110 Ultralite in .28 Nosler are generally satisfied, with a few consistent caveats worth knowing before buying.

Weight is the primary reason people choose this rifle and on that front it delivers. At 6 lbs for a .28 Nosler, it is measurably lighter than alternatives in the same caliber, which matters for hunters covering steep or extended terrain. Accuracy reports are positive -- the AccuTrigger adjustability helps, and the carbon-wrapped barrel performs well at distance with quality ammo.

The recoil management discussion is the most common qualified feedback. .28 Nosler is a hard-hitting magnum cartridge, and at 6 lbs the rifle transmits that recoil directly. Many owners add a muzzle brake or recoil pad. This is not a surprise given the physics, but buyers coming from heavier rifles in softer calibers sometimes find it more than they expected.

The 2-round capacity is the other functional trade-off. For hunting it is rarely a problem; for range sessions or competition it is limiting.

Value discussions compare it favorably to competitors given the carbon barrel and Savage's quality control, though some shooters compare it against custom ultralight builds and find the stock ergonomics less refined. Overall, for a hunter who specifically needs a lightweight .28 Nosler, the 110 Ultralite is a practical and well-regarded choice.
