Folks ,
I’m looking at the Savage 110 Predator in .223 .
Just wondering if anyone has one, if it shoots hand loads moa or sub moa ?
Any info as far as pro vs cons . I want it for yotes , Fox , and ground hogs .
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

For the price it should be fine. I bought the lower cost Axis on clearance, 22-250. For what I paid & what I do, it’s been fine. No, not the same league as my custom 22-250, but I did put a good scope on it and took it to SD, dogging.
 
I agree with pyscodog, I think you'll be fine with one of the 10/110 Savages. Personally. I'd start with some Hornady 53 grain V-Maxes. Its my "go-to" bullet in the 223... . Let us know how it goes.....
 
Just bought one in 22-250. In the process of getting rings and possibly the EGW picatinny rail for the Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14 SF 40mm scope to put on it.

Yours is a clone of my 243 Savage Predator Max-1, but I blasted off the camo. TPS rings, EGW picatinny rail, Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40 w/fine reticle.

This model is well known for exceptional accuracy. Mine is in 243 and is no exception. Here is a video of me shooting out to 850 yards.

Easily shoots sub moa with hand loads. This is my current lead free load 5-shots @ 100 yards.

My AccuTrigger was malfunctioning right out of the box, nearly cost me that coyote in the pic above (had to re-cock and re-shoot 2x). But the barrel was very accurate. Rather than return it to Savage, I just upgraded to a $100 RifleBasix trigger and it's way better than the AccuTrigger anyways.

I considered upgrading from the AccuStock to something better fitting but it's sufficiently functional for a hunting rifle.
