Anyone shoot or fingerfuck a M110 Magpul Hunter? Seems very well built and nice trigger. 18” heavy barrel. Pretty stocky rifle. Impressions or good/bad from use?
Not shot, but fondle at the store. I have another savage 10, and really like it. The magpul hunter is on my need list for sure. I think savage is usually the right answer.
Have one on order in 6.5 creedmoor, which I plan to swap to 260 remington. So it will serve as a hunting rifle which can be easily suppressed in a 6.5 caliber I already reload for.
Can't recommend from my experience. I'm about to send it back to Savage. I've tried a bunch of different ammo, torqued all mounts / action screws, and 2 different optics with no luck. I have other rifles that will hold moa with me behind it.
So I have a 308 12fv that is in the magpul hunter 110 chassis that I had cut and threaded to 18.5”. It is quickly becoming my favorite target gun. The chassis and acis mags are great and I dig the heavy short barrel. Assuming the factory magpul hunter is built to the same quality, mines a tack driver and still not to long with a 9” suppressor added on.

Call them. I've never had a Savage that shot greater than 1moa with any ammo. Most are considerably better than that with tuned hand loads. Their customer service is pretty good the one time I had to call on a mag issue.
Trusting your life to the benevolence of an armed criminal is not a strategy, it is stupid!
Stock seems heavy for what it is. I was surprised when I got mine for a Ruger.

Used to be able to call them up and custom order one.

Heavier than the accustock? Does anyone make flush fit mags?

I’ve never weighed an accustock so I don’t want to say for sure but I think the Magpul is heavier. As for mags I’ve seen some super stubby AICS mags but don’t know who made them. I’ve never really understood why they call the stock Hunter as it seems much more like a heavy target/varmint stock.

I have one. It is on a Remington 700 Magpul edition, so it came the factory with it as well. It is okay for what it is. Good starting point for a build. But mine came split in two places. One is the entire underside of the buttstock and the other is behind the tang of the action. I keep forgetting to reach out to Magpul again about it.
I do like the polymer. It makes it so it isn't so hot to the touch in the summer or cold in the winter. But it isn't my favorite stock. It is a weird stock chassis hybrid that doesn't do either extremely well. But it is better then any factory stock an better then other options for some guns. I dont know if it is just a mine thing or they all do it, but mine you really have to force the Magpul AICS mags in. They don't fit well. Never wanted to file anything incase i sold it.
