The Savage 110 Ultralite is a left-handed bolt-action rifle in .308 Win built around a carbon fiber wrapped barrel and stainless steel receiver with Melonite finish. The result is a 5.80 lb rifle that actually handles .308 -- a combination that takes some engineering to get right.

Detailed Features 

The carbon fiber wrapped barrel is Savage's proprietary construction -- carbon fiber over a steel core. It reduces weight compared to a full steel contour barrel while maintaining enough rigidity for consistent accuracy. 
 
The Melonite finish on the stainless steel receiver improves corrosion resistance without adding meaningful weight. 
 
The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle brakes. Given the rifle's weight and .308 chambering, a brake can make a real difference in felt recoil during extended sessions. 
 
The AccuFit stock adjusts for comb height and length of pull -- two adjustments that actually matter for getting a proper cheek weld and eye alignment behind a scope. 
 
The AccuTrigger is adjustable between 1.5 and 4 lbs, set by the shooter without a gunsmith. 
 

Usage 

This rifle was built for left-handed backcountry hunters who need a .308 they can carry all day. At 5.80 lbs, it's competitive with dedicated mountain rifles at a lower price point. The detachable box magazine makes loading and unloading quick. Hunters who cover long distances in steep terrain will notice the weight difference by mile three.

Left-handed .308 options thin out quickly at any price point, and the 110 Ultralite fills that gap better than most. That's a frequent starting point in discussions about this rifle -- it exists where many manufacturers don't bother.

The weight comes up constantly, in a good way. Backcountry hunters specifically mention the difference on long approaches. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel is central to hitting 5.80 lbs in a .308, and owners generally trust it for accuracy.

Out-of-the-box precision gets consistent positive remarks, which is typical for Savage's AccuTrigger platform. Trigger adjustability is appreciated -- users dial it to their preference rather than tolerating whatever pull weight came from the factory.

Recoil is the one area where opinions vary. A 5.80 lb .308 is going to push back, and some owners add a muzzle brake or suppressor to manage it. Others find it fine for field use where adrenaline dulls the perception. Price is higher than entry-level Savages, which a few buyers flag, but most consider it reasonable given the carbon fiber construction and left-hand configuration.
