FOCUS Savage Arms 110 BA Sniper Rife shorter-action .308 Winchester. The 110 BA is a huge rife. It's not made to be carried over mountainous terrain like a hunting rife and it doesn't fold up for backpack carry on a hiking trip. The 110 BA is 4 feet, 2.5 inches long with a futed, heavy target, 26-inch barrel and a recessed target crown. The unloaded rifle weighs 15.75 pounds without a scope and rings.

It also has a generous rubber recoil pad to absorb recoil. The entire gun is fnished in matte black and there are rails on the top and bottom as well as to the left and right for accessories. Once the butt pad was properly adjusted, the five-round box magazine was loaded with Hornady .300 Win Mag 150-grain Superformance ammunition. The bolt handle is gigantic, more akin to a muscle car's gearshift knob. Working the bolt while wearing gloves would be effortless. The throw is long to accommodate the length of the .300 Win Mag round, but chambering and ejection was positive and fawless. A three-position safety moves fore and aft and is located on the grip tang. The grip is large, ergonomically contoured, and has a base to support the edge of the shooting hand. The grip places the trigger fnger in the ideal location for a consistent press. The forwardmounted side rails are high enough to still permit a proper purchase for an offhand grasp on the smooth forearm area to prevent fayed fesh from sharp-edged rails. The Accutrigger is shooter adjustable from 6 pounds down to 1.5 pounds. The
