Savage Arms just dropped a bombshell for rimfire enthusiasts: three new full-size rifles built on the legendary Model 110 short-action platform, dubbed the Model 110 RF lineup. We're talking 22 LR, 22 WMR, and 17 HMR chamberings in proper full-length configurations—think 20- or 22-inch barrels for that extended sightline and velocity boost that plinkers and small-game hunters have craved. The real game-changer? Seamless compatibility with the vast ecosystem of Model 110 short-action stocks, triggers, chassis systems, and optics mounts. No more cobbling together ill-fitting aftermarket parts; drop in a MDT chassis or your favorite Axis stock, and you're running a precision rimfire setup that punches way above its price class, likely starting around $400-$500 based on Savage's value-driven ethos. This isn't just a rehash—it's a masterstroke of modularity that bridges the gap between budget rimfires and centerfire precision rigs. In a market flooded with short-barreled 10/22 clones, Savage is betting big on the 110's proven AccuTrigger and user-swappable barrel system, now scaled for rimfire fun. For the 2A community, the implications are huge: it democratizes high-end customization for new shooters, preppers, and trainers who want a soft-recoiling platform to hone fundamentals without burning through centerfire ammo costs. Imagine zeroing your scope on a BDX-enabled 110 centerfire, then swapping the stock straight onto this RF model for cheap, unlimited practice—talk about training efficiency in an era of supply squeezes. It's Savage saying rimfire deserves centerfire respect, potentially sparking a wave of hybrid builds that keep the training wheels on without skimping on quality. Bottom line, if you're building an AR-10 lower or a 1911 collection, don't sleep on rimfire as the ultimate force multiplier. These 110 RFs could redefine entry-level precision for the next generation of defenders, making affordable accuracy more than a buzzword. Head to your local dealer or Savage's site to spec one out—your trigger finger (and wallet) will thank you.
