    If a distributor/big box store is willing to place a large enough order (say 500 units), Savage will build them whatever they want based on their spec's so long as it consists of "off the shelf" regular production parts. Often times these "special run" models will be just like the one in the video where it's pretty much a cheaper version of an existing model minus some features to get a lower price point and/or to get them in calibers that aren't regularly offered in that model. In this case it looks like a 110 Hog Hunter stock with some black webbing sprayed on it, a 110 Tactical barrel and bolt handle, and a very budget muzzle brake. The non AccuFit stock, Axis style magazine and cheap break are the cost cutting measures.

    So for example (a ridiculous one), say some big distributor in the midwest thought there was enough demand/interest in a Savage 110 Elite Precision in .350 Legend, they could call up Savage and they'd be happy to make it for them so long as the order was for enough units to justify doing it.
    Yeah. I just dont understand if they have a 750 budget why they are buying a 500 dollar savage with apparently features they didn't want. Seems like all of their issues other than ejection could have been solved by ordering another model and maybe spending a little bit more.

    $750 must be the MSRP as Sportsman's Warehouse is selling them for $519.99.
