Thank you for doing a accuracy check on a bench rest. I have a VT 11 308 and sgoot 1/4" MOA with Federam Premium 168 gr seirra GM308M.

My boss bought a stealth a few months back. First shot would load but would be a little rough amd gritty. Pop that first round and it would go bang but would not eject on its own. Everytime he'd try to rack in the next round it would hang up everytime going into the chamber and never fully make it. Ended up having to send it back to savage. They had to remove material in a few places on the bolt. Got it back and that thing is super smooth, WAY better than any savage action I've ever messed with. And shoots damn accurate with hornady 120 and 129 gr. I'm wanting another 6.5 and was leaning towards Savage since they have plenty of lefty options. But I hate the thought of having to deal with sending one back and waiting all over again and it seems more people are having some ejection issues.

I got one of these in January soon as they came out. Definitely should come with the Tactical barrel shaped bolt knob. Now they have changed to an AICS magazine too. Mine has been iffy on accuracy, some days a tackdriver and others, not so good. Or is it me having bad days. Also have weak ejection, I hear that crops up on Savages on occasion, they will replace the ejector springs on request. It is a real good looking rifle to me, I want it to work, will keep playing with it. That American Eagle ammo is something else, Also real accurate in my 10BA Stealth.

It's hard to go wrong with a Savage. They all shoot sub MOA. Other than the extractor problem on this and my 110 Varmint, they are damn near perfect for the price.

Love the vids, that gun should be shooting half inch out the box! I haven't found your update video but that thing has issues. Factory loads should be inside an inch and hand loads should be much better than that......and I'm a savage fan! Bang on brother!

Funny story but the S&B rounds I purchased for my 338 Lapua were also difficult to eject out of my savage and when I went to reload them they would not seat in the shell holder. On the chrono they registered a sick rate of speed at 3362fps on average with a 250 grain bullet with a SD of 60fps which leads me to believe all their rounds are not very accurate in regards to loads. Plus after only being shot once they were all difficult to resize so I ended up throwing all the brass to the side for use only in emergencies.

Love the S&B ammo. Shoots good for a great price.

Also some of my other savages have flimsy stocks so I hoping this one is stiffer. I wanted the tactical model but the one I thought I ordered was the fluted barrel I realized I didn't get the fluted barrel but wasn't a deal breaker.

This might be a bit heavy for an all round rifle. However, it is perfect for spots you don't need to carry it too far. I would consider it a perfect open field rifle if you have a spot to stretch the range out 200 yards and beyond. The weight actually helps with staying stable on rests and bipods. These 110s are fully aluminum bedded to the fore end so you won't have to worry about the stock flexing.

Honestly though I’m leaning more towards the vanguard from weatherby after watching a few of these savage reviews.

I spent two or three days taking my brand new Savage 110 apart and accuracy and polishing everything I could. That included the entire Action Bolt Oak Ridge Spring and picatinny rail. All stuff down and inspected and lapped if necessary. I left the bar of the barrel of his two different grits. And David Bowie High polish. Broke it in with some TMC about 30 minutes, I think and then started. Shooting gold medal match in .308. The best 3 round group was .33 in. Flawless rejection. Click on my teeny tiny gun channel to see how I did it. I had that Savage working so damn smooth And feeling in shooting like a done four times its cost. It just took. A little TLC in a little bit of research. I even changed the bolt spring pressure And a few other things to bring it more into what that should have come like from the factory. A bunch of stuff. Long somewhat boring 45-minute video on all the things I did. On my gun Channel. I never shot long range precision rifle in my life and shot a .33" group my first time out. Honestly, the rifle did most of the work.

Work on your followthrough. It probably isn't a huge problem, but I've found that letting off so quickly makes shooters want to slap the trigger and could have something to do with your groupings opening up. Slow, steady, keep the trigger to the rear until after the rifle settles back down.

Im liking this rifle, though I dont own one. Have several other Savage rifles and they are all shooters. The only Creedmoor chambered rifle I have is a Ruger American, but I have a couple 260 Rem rifles. Interestingly I found my rifle really liked the Lehigh Defense Controlled Choas 122gr. Found success with H4350 from 40.0gr to 42.0gr, R15 from 38.0 to 40.0gr, and H Superformance 44.0 to 46.0. All loaded to 2.800". All of these loads produced 3-shot groups of 3/4" or less at 100 yds. To be honest though, this rifle will shoot darn near anything decently. I have to suggest if you are truly looking for accuracy results, lose the bipods and get a good front bull bag for bench work. Way too much bounce in the front for great accuracy, IMO. On a side note, my 260's will not stabilize the LH CC bullets. Different twist rates and bullets yawl in flight. Keyhole the target at 100yds.

S&b works best in semi auto. some savage rifles have difficult extracting brass.

I bought a Savage model 12bvss chambered in 22-250 11 years ago n had about the same luck with accuracy out of the box. The only factory ammo it would group well was federal v shok 55gr hpbt's until I got about 150 rounds through it. After that it would literally cloverleaf pretty much anything u put in it n still consistently shoots sub 1/2" groups. Sometimes how a rifle shoots straight out of the box can be very deceiving about how it will shoot after the barrel has been broke-in.

I shot it at 100 yards to get on paper, then 500 yards to test tracking of the scope, then 1000 yards to check real accuracy. It was shooting sub MOA at 100 yards. The ammo i was shooting was the Hornady 147grain match. Its the only 6.5 prc off the shelf ammo i like. This is a great rifle if you want to build it up a bit.

I generally don't let the barrel get hot when I'm testing different ammunition. The reason why is to see how much variance there is between the cold barrel shots and the following warm shots.

If the difference between warm barrel and cold barrel isn't noticeable that is a good thing.

They run under 150$ and they have decent glass and re-settable turrets. There's a lot of good under 500$ options out there including the Athlon if you don't mind the "made in China" stamp. Leupolds are always good too.

I had a Nikon buckmaster 2 on my savage 243. It did a good job. I kinda want something with open turrets to turn and set easily and quickly. I’ll prolly get the Athlon Argos. 360 bucks. Ive been looking at the bergara ridge. They specialize in barrels and they are 750 dollar gun.

We got one woodchuck with it. I haven't had a chance to to do much more with it. It is still functioning well after the bolt clean. Plus it is shooting great, now wearing a muzzle brake. We will get it out for another video next spring. I'm deer hunting with my Tikka T3x Lite 6.5CM now. Already have a big doe with that.

@@ChuckinTV look forward to seeing you do some more hunting with it.

Something is moving. Either switch to a proven solid scope or rebed that action, or both. Firstly, forget that damned bipod if you want tight groups. Shoot off a solid bag rest and try it again with all those loads. It will kill a good load with torque. You might switch to a ball powder for cleaner burning on medium cases.

I bought the same gun as my first gun

Went straight for the heavy tactical? I don't know as I'd recommend it as a first.. but it is a hell of a good buy. Any other purchases since then?

I honestly don't think its the rifle brother , i think your getting a little to excited which is affecting your accuracy , user error in my opinion.

What does this rifle weigh is it heavy?

I don't have an exact weight. I would say it's over 10lb and under 12lb. It is a chunk, but it's not meant for banging around the woods.

Thanks. Just bought the Athlon Midas TAC and the rifle will be out of layaway next week. That will help me get rings, that I know will clear the barrel, before I get it home. Just to be sure, since that may be a slightly older model, did it come with the 20 MOA bade? Thanks again for all of your help

Love that gun but i would have got it in 308 . Just saying

I almost want to say someone traded out the original bolt for one from another gun. I haven't seen a single one of the tactical guns that didn't have a Tactical Bolt. It could have been a defective bolt, or they lost the original bolt. Maybe they just wanted the Tactical Bolt for their gun and didn't tell you. I am not sure, but that is a BIG red flag to me.

Agreed - I have the 110 desert tactical 6.5CM with the big tactical knob and black bolt body - not like in this video. I also have the 110 Storm in 6.5CM and it has the small knob with the bright stainlesd jewelled finish on the bolt body, like what he has here. I think Chuckin' got screwed

$13.50 for a box of ammo... I miss 2018.

You need to work on your trigger control. That's most of the problem I'm seeing.

Ha ha. Call that first one a "cold barrel shot". You better send that one back to savage. Pretty poor shooting for a savage.

I needed warming up. Not the rifle. :)

Seller and ballot is crap ammo always has been. I mean it’s clean burning and goes bang every time it’s just not very accurate.

Just watched a savage review on a different rifle before coming here. He had extraction issues too. I have no doubt savage makes accurate rifles but their quality control is shit and they obviously have a design flaw on their actions.

Why are you using a bolt out of a completely different rifle? That entire bolt is wrong. If you didn't swap that yourself then someone screwed you.

I figured it was a mistake or something. I've saw this model with the knurled handle and the PMag. For whatever reason this one came out of the original packaging with the knob handle and the Savage 10 round system. Not really sure why. Maybe it is an early version of it. Good observation.

@clintrannebeck9838

@@ChuckinTV yeah it's not just the knob, the whole bolt is from an older model. I saw one guy in Canada post that he was sent one with the old model 10 FCP bottom metal and savage mag also. That bolt is way off though and could definitely account for the few ejections issues. Who knows exactly what casing it was actually made for.

Just for the record, this rifle hasn't had a single problem since the day before this video. But it is strange that these things aren't quite right. It is a very tight shooter now that we've worked with it. A follow up video is long over due. When I get a chance, I'll bring it to video again.

@@ChuckinTV you should order a box or 2 of prime ammo and run it through that rifle.
