American Riflemans Gun of the Week features the Savage Arms 110 Ultralite Elite, a purpose-built hunting rifle that drops weight without shedding core capability. Unloaded, the platform comes in at under 6 pounds, achieved through a lightened stainless-steel 110 receiver and a chassis/stock system engineered specifically to save ounces. The rifle is aimed squarely at backcountry users who count every ounce but still want modern ergonomics, repeatable bedding, and optics-ready setup out of the box. The heart of the build is MDTs HNT26 chassis, which uses a magnesium-alloy core paired with a carbon-fiber fore-end and buttstock. The chassis incorporates V-block bedding for action repeatability, plus user adjustments for length of pull and comb height to dial in fit. A folding mechanism reduces overall length for transport, and the rifle accepts AICS-pattern detachable box magazines. Savage pairs the chassis with an AR-style pistol grip, signaling a modern, modular interface that many hunters and crossover shooters now prefer. Up front is a PROOF Research carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless-steel barrel threaded at the muzzle. The rifle ships with an Omniport radial brake to help tame recoil in such a light package, and the action includes a 20-MOA scope base pre-installed to extend elevation travel for longer shots. Savage carries the weight-saving theme into small parts, including a threaded carbon-fiber bolt knob and a diamond-fluted bolt body designed to smooth operation while shaving grams. Control surfaces and mounting options are equally deliberate. The 110 Ultralite Elite uses Savages adjustable AccuTrigger with a stated range of approximately 1.5 to 4 pounds, giving shooters a tunable, crisp break. A bilateral magazine release ahead of the trigger guard is positioned to be accessible yet low-profile in the field. The carbon-fiber fore-end presents ample attachment real estate, with multiple M-Lok slots and an ARCA rail along the bottom so users can run bipods, tripods, or other accessories without adding unnecessary bulk. American Riflemans range notes highlight how these components interact. In the test example chambered for 6.5 mm Creedmoor, the sub-6-pound mass remained eminently shootable, aided by the Omniport brake and the cartridges manners in lightweight rifles. The pre-installed 20-MOA base streamlines optic mounting, while the folding chassis and adjustable comb simplify packing and on-range setup. The package is presented as light and fast-handling, yet feature-complete enough for hunters who demand both mobility and a dialed interface. Key specifications called out in the coverage include an 18-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel threaded 5/8x24 with the supplied brake, a stainless receiver finished in Black Cerakote, a three-round AICS-pattern magazine, and overall length of about 38.5 inches. The tested rifle weighed 5 pounds, 12.8 ounces empty. The series is offered in several popular hunting chamberings, and the listed MSRP is $3,299, positioning the Ultralite Elite in the premium ultralight hunting segment.
