Savage 110 Varmint 22-250 Review/Ammo Testing - Accufit Model

In this video I try out some hand loads and review the Savage 110 Varmint in 22-250 with the new Accufit stock. This rifle is topped with the Redfield Revenge 4-12x (sadly discontinued). All of the loads were with H4350, Nosler Brass, CCI BR-2 Primer, and the 53gr Nosler Varmageddon 2.35" OAL. This all seems to be a tack driving combination! To follow up, I received the improved extraction kit and now the bolt ejects flawlessly. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate your honest reviews. Many "reviewers" get the products they review from the manufacturers and, to their credit, some mention that the product being reviewed was "supplied" by the manufacturer, many don't mention the "sourcing." A product supplied by the manufacturer may not be in the same "condition" as the one a consumer would get off the shelf. When the reviewer tells me he bought the rifle with his own money my level of confidence in the review is much higher. Thank you for your service to the community. Best regards.

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks. And I agree, I'm not a sales rep for any company. Some reviews just feel like a promo for whatever the rifle is. I did get the SSS extractor for this rifle and now it's ejecting fine so far. This should have been an unnecessary purchase but for what I paid for this rifle I am thoroughly impressed with everything else about it.

[@madtown99980]

I have the same rifle in .223 and it's an absolute tack driver for a $575 gun. I'm able to get 3/8" groups at 100yds firing Nosler 55gr. B-Tips with 26.0 grains of H. Varget!

Good honest review and good shooting. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching. This is one of my favorite guns despite the extraction problems. It is crazy accurate.

Good Shooting Sir. Savage is a great value. I hope you can get those ejection issues solved. That’s frustrating for a new rifle. Ive experienced the same but not with Savage. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.

[@dallasweber7692]

22-250 Has Always Been Extremely Accurate. The Savage Carbon 22 Inch Bull Barrel With Spiraled Action Is Sweet. Pay For Quality. Cascade XT Also Another Great Rifle With Fluted Barrel & Action. Great Coverage. Keep It Coming. Cheaper Rifles Tend To Have Rougher Actions.

[@bowhunt9968]

Savage makes great rifles. I have several. Never had any ejection problems with any of them. Usually not the best idea to do load development with brand new brass.

[@ericlaney384]

There you go that's the one I was talking about I'm glad you got yourself one I like 22.250 but I love 243 I know they don't have it in 243 so 22.250 it is mine is ordered can't wait to get it!

[@ChuckinTV]

Awesome! Well at least you have a rough idea what bullet it likes. The 53gr Varmageddon seems to be working great. I wouldn't hesitate to try the 50gr V-max either. I have a feeling that this rifle will shoot anything under 64gr very well because of the 1-12" twist. Let me know how it works for you.

[@geneinman6173]

+Chuckin' my 22-250 likes 37.0 gr. accurate arms 4064 behind a Sierra blitzking,55gr.. every rifle likes different loads, that is what makes handloading so interesting to me.love your videos by the way.

[@dgunnut6550]

I also have extraction problems with my Savage Model 12 FV in .22-250. Like yours mine also shoots great! I don’t understand how Savage can have problems with basic extraction out of the box when the design of this rifle dates back many years and should have all the kinks worked out. I just discovered your channel and subscribed today. Looking forward to catching up on your old videos and seeing the new ones as they come out. Keep up the good work!

[@ChuckinTV]

Yeah that's my thoughts exactly. Great shooting rifle with an annoying quirk. Thanks for the sub! Subscriptions and views are what keeps me motivated to make more videos. I appreciate it very much.

[@stephenwarren55]

Nice! Very scientifically done!

[@michaellakel4140]

I bought a 22 250 110 vs ss heavy barrel. Most accurate rifle ever owned. 300 yd plus ground hogs were just considered dead. Bought in 1990 cant find one now. Shot nothing but spear sxp super exploder. Wish I never sold it.

[@rayg3074]

good shooting... accu tip my rifle shots.. in my remy 700 vls... my first shot other day at 100 yds hit a quarter.. the other two shots nicked the quarter... its ready for prairie dog out west

[@jeffreynye3019]

Good shooting! I got savages too. They shoots as good or better than my Browning. Love the 22-250 cartridge! Lotta umph, no recoil. I've shot 3 in the same hole before.

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks Jeff. We have covered many rifles on this channel and this has been my favorite target/ critter rifle. If you go into my channel I have playlists for every gun we've done multiple videos on. We have 13 videos featuring this very rifle. It got even more accurate after this video. kzbin.info/door/6wODtsWa0JqCCaETUMlQxwplaylists?view_as=subscriber

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

very nice review, I have a new Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter with the accufit stock in .300 WSM on layaway until Sept. 4th when I get paid and will pay it off, I hope it shots well like this one did for you, but NOT have the extractor issue. My one and only rifle that I have until this one comes in is an old Savage Model 110 (late 90s) with the wood stock in .270 Win and has never had issues with extracting, but of course when I am sighting it in I usually just grab the empty brass out after opening the bolt not try and fling it like an AR-15 would. I may had to pay more attention to that next time, but it really hasn't bothered me. My next centerfire bolt action caliber after I get the .300 WSM is most likely the 22-250, no one in my immediate family has that caliber and coyotes have become more and more prevalent around where I live. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks! I don't think you'll be disappointed with the 300WSM. If you do run into extraction problem you can get the SSS improved extractor kit. This rifle has worked 100% since I put it in. It is about 20$ That's money that shouldn't be spent, but there you have it. We have done a TON of content with this rifle since this video, so I hope you'll check out some of the other ones. There's a playlist in my channel for this rifle. This became my favorite rifle for it's continued accuracy and effectiveness on woodchucks. Happy shooting!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

@@ChuckinTV you are welcome, and I don't believe that I will, but if I do I will definitely check the kit out. I am glad to hear/read that the rifle has worked 100% since installation. I will have to check out that playlist on your channel for sure. I like to reload too and plan on doing so with both the .300 WSM and eventually the 22-250 if and when I get one, whether it be a Savage or whatever quality brand I can find a deal on.

[@desertsun1000]

What Powder you using for reloads?

[@rickb8173]

Question what site picture were you using, and what did you expect to hit?

[@sherbs58]

If you feed the ammo via the magazine do you still have extraction issues. Some rifle feed and extract better using magazine loading. Worth a try.

[@craiggerster9282]

You would think either way it should eject just fine, but that is a good point....which you never received an answer yet huh?

[@wheelzandgillz]

I noticed a diff on my model 12 when I put it in a MDT chassis mag feeding it does fling the brass out, the rounds in the mag seem to have a positive impact on ejecting the empty brass, that added upward pressure on the spent case from the rounds in the mag im assuming has allot to do with it ejecting

[@Matt-xy6cf]

The gun went shiibii shibi shhhibiii when u pulled the triggerbinos.

[@andy347495]

How did the 39.0 grain load shoot with once fired brass? In my experience virgin brass shoots different than fire formed brass.

[@ChuckinTV]

If I remember correctly the velocities changed a bit, but the accuracy was about the same.

[@davesweeney871]

standard savage triggers only drop to 2.5 pounds unless you cut or swap springs. Only the target triggers with the red blades are capable of under 2 pound trigger pull out of the box. Just sayin

[@rayg3074]

thumbs up

[@cavscout62]

I have been shooting Savage for over 30 years and I will say if you handload for them you’ll find a particular load they will shoot all into 1 hole. I’ve never experienced the extraction & ejection problem you’re having so it makes me wonder if they’re having a bad run or perhaps a material issue.

[@johnwallace7694]

Ive got multiple savage rifles , never had these reported issues.

[@martfertyy6904]

That's friken loud !!

[@JPsaysno]

H4350 ?? Very interesting. I like that idea , good thinking. Any idea of the velocity your getting?

[@ChuckinTV]

3650fps at 40grs. Nothing crazy fast. It is compressed at 40gr, but I haven't seen any pressure signs. The only reason I went with H4350 is because that was what I had on hand that had data. Thanks.

[@JPsaysno]

Chuckin' thanks man! Ive noticed you do shoot some very conservtive loads. Ive never had good luck with tight groups using conservitive loads. My savages tend to like it on the hotter side. Thnx again. I subscribed and have enjoyed the hell out of your hunts.

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

I think that if you worked the action like you meant it the shell casings would come flying out just fine.

[@ChuckinTV]

I ended up getting the SSS extractor kit following this video. I haven't had a single extraction problem since. The extractor itself was weak and wouldn't hold on to the case long enough to get it out of the action. I have experience with a few different Savages now and even when they "work" the extraction is weak. I shot a Ruger American recently that threw the shells out no matter how you run the bolt. TC Compass and Tikka are the same way. On the positive side, Savages are crazy accurate and pack a lot of great features in an affordable package. So another 20$ for an extractor is a worthy investment.

Can you do me a huge favour? Will the mag from the 110 tactical fit this gun? Trying to see if the 308 tactical mag will fit the 110 varmint!

[@ChuckinTV]

It will not. the Tactical takes AICS magazines. This one is a Savage mag.

[@headcarter4656]

Hey man have you tried the bergara b14 22-250 hunter rifles?

[@ChuckinTV]

No sir. My cousin Garrett had an HMR in 22-250 for a while. That was a very accurate rifle. He ended up selling it though. We got a couple of chucks with it on the channel, but we never did an actual video with it. I'm sure the B14 Hunter is nice though. 22-250 seems to be a good round in many different platforms.

[@sparkone007]

You would think savage would fix the extractor problem.. I had a 10fcp, out the box couldnt eject at all.. I called them and they sent me a new extractor kit.. Great shooter, but come on.. I have 4 Savage rifles and they all shoot really well, even a axis in 308.

[@ChuckinTV]

I agree. I installed the SSS kit and it has been working flawlessly ever since. We have 13 or so videos featuring this rifle if you care to check out the playlist. I also picked up a 110 Tactical in 6.5CM and haven't had extractor problems with that. Both are second to none as far as accuracy is concerned.

[@vincentlockie2510]

Where did u get your picitinny rail? I can’t find one that fits my rifle and I got the same one as the one in this video

[@ChuckinTV]

I got this one locally but it isn't picitinny. It is a Weaver one piece. I actually ditched this and got a set of two piece Nikon bases for like 7$. The problem I had with this rail was that the front screw was so long that it rubbed on my bolt. You should be able to find a pic rail for a Savage 110 just about anywhere online.

[@bustabass9025]

@@ChuckinTV I am of the opinion that full length rails also tend to cause spent case and cartridge ejection issues. That slab laying right on the top of the ejection port on a standard bolt action rifle, versus the extra clearance you get between scope and port with a two piece mounting system, in all likelihood interferes with the process to some degree, by knocking them back down into the rifle. Weak ejectors notwithstanding, I only use one piece rails for mounting accessories on my AR style rifles. I own a Savage Hunter chambered in 6.5×284 Norma. A bigger case but I have the scope mounted with two piece rings and mounts. It kicks 'em outta there like a tenant two months behind on the rent. Never heard of "weak" electors in any of the myriad brand of rifles I own. My guess is changing out that rail, may have contributed just as much as anything else to your problem solving. In any event, good you got it fixed. 👍🏿

[@klevee6076]

Savage triggers can’t go down to a pound and a half on the hunting rifles with the spring it comes with. The red blade accutrigger can though.

[@ChuckinTV]

1-1/2lb is where this one is at according to the gauge that I used. I would certainly say it is under 2lb just by feel.

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

@@ChuckinTV same here; my gunsmith wanted a look at this 6R rifling and I wanted to see how light the trigger was from the factory so when it arrived, I cleaned the bore (took forever to swab clean) as well as verified the 1 in 12 twist and took the gun to him. Trigger broke 3 times in a row at 1.5 pounds and I love it. I have not found any load that this gun won't shoot 1/2 MOA or less. Very impressed as this is on par with my LRPV model.
