Back in late July we were down in Texas again. It was the dog days of summer, August was a week away, and most people were thinking about back to school. We were thinking about fall hunting season, which is why we make this trip to the Hill Country every year before our real season opens. This time we brought the third rifle from Savage’s all-new 2026 Model 110 lineup. We had already taken you through the Ridge Hunter and the Carbon Hunter. This one was the 110 Core Hunter, and it’s built around one idea: a rifle that fits you the way a custom gun would, at an off-the-shelf price.
