Savage teams up with MDT

[Eric32]

I am an AI guy myself but this seems like a great setup.

110 Elite Precision | Precision Series | Savage Arms

The 110 Elite Precision has an Adjustable Core Competition chassis from Modular Driven Technologies (MDT). From its full length ARCA rail to its titanium nitride coatings, this is a rifle built for a lifetime of elite precision.

Apparently the new boss at Savage is paying attention. Now they just need an oryx model chambered in 280AI with strict quality control and they will be back in the game.

 

[Crabcore]

Dang, that is pretty badass. Also, this will put the ACC chassis into stock class. That is insane. That is a very compelling setup. When are these going to be in stores?

 

[b6graham]

As someone who's been able to play with one of these for a few months now. They are quite impressive and offer a lot to the end user

 

[SD Carpenter]

Too bad they didn't adjust the length of pull and it still starts at 14"...

 

[XLR308]

Too bad they didn't adjust the length of pull and it still starts at 14"...

T-REX arms can be a problem ?
So far this is the best looking savage rifle out of the box I've seen.

Why MDT thought that was a good idea is beyond me. At least it's slightly better now

Perhaps this is how MDT is unloading all the longer LOP stocks...

Just thinking out loud here...

 

[daleo8803]

Awesome. Looks like another rifle for me to look into for my new 338LM

 

[SlimySquirrel]

Ive seen a review on the .22 semi auto model.
The rifle came out of the factory missing a spring so it fired on taking the safety off as well as having severe magazine feeding issues whilst also having the accuracy of a shot gun.....

For me, Savage misses the mark too often to trust them with my money even when teamed up with MDT.
It’s a real shame as the rifles I have owned have all been very accurate.

 

[7mmShooter]

Awesome. Looks like another rifle for me to look into for my new 338LM

Especially when the 300 Win and 338 Lapua are both running 30" barrels

 

[Crabcore]

I don't know why, but i kind of like the gold bolt. I wonder how smooth it runs. Does it feel better than a normal Savage, or Remington?

 

[7mmShooter]

Yeah I'm curious about that myself

 

[Backcountryguy]

They completed failed the 223 twist rate. They put a 1:9 twist barrel on it.

They should’ve gone with a 1:7 for that style of rifle, or 1:8 at the absolute slowest.

Immediately thought the same thing... Why companies put a slow twist on their Precision rifles is beyond me

 

[JMGlasgow]

I'm not a fan of chassis rifles but that's just my opinion. Nothing wrong with them, I just don't like them. Now, that said this is just putting lipstick on a pig. Savage sucks, the only way to make them better is to throw them in the trash and buy an M700 or clone.

 

[lash]

And there you have it folks! A thread with Savage in the title made it for 15 posts before the first “Savage sucks” post. I do believe that is some sort of record and should be recognized as such.

 

[SD Carpenter]

I have a couple old hunting savages my dad passed down to me from the 90s and they are all actually great shooters.

I have a 200th anniversary M700 and other than the nice piece of walnut that the stock is carved from it is a royal piece of shit, Remington as a company and their QC have been on the decline for some years now and Savage adapts to new cartridges and stock/chassis options faster than any other company out there. Bitch all you like, it just makes you look silly

 

[b6graham]

the coating makes it very smooth by comparison. knowing these will go for below retail, unlike every other $2k production gun, they do offer a lot and the brand recognition for a lot of the hunter types will help compared to PVA/etc where people can go into a shop and play with these relatively easily

as far as LOP. knowing how far back these go i'm guessing MDT had everything tooled up well before they realized their LOP was way too long

 

[Shutrmgavin]

Love my savage. One in 243 was my first precision bolt action rifle and with 30 rounds of load development I had bug holes at 100 yards and 6 inch 5 round groups at 850 yards with no wind.

I'll probably just stick with building from now on but this is really cool. As others have said I don't get the 1:9 twist in 223. Also trigger tech is better than accutrigger but a shooter can get used to anything that is decent and it is a little better than decent imo.

Call (or email) 'em up and let 'em know that. Customer comments count.

I pinged one of the folks @ the factory that I know, and passed it along. More (polite, constructive) feedback will probably help make the change a reality.

 

[b6graham]

error. its a 7 twist. from a very good source.

That makes sense.

Ah, similar happened with Ruger a while back. These things happen, that's why we check! Awesome

 

[Crabcore]

I have always liked the RPR as a nice, turn-key, entry level rifle. Although this will be slightly more expensive, I think this could become the go to rifle for people starting out.
I think they could probably drop the 308 and 300 win mag chamberings, though. I get 223 as a trainer, i get 338 for ELR, and obviously the two 2 creedmoors make sense, but i just don't see the first two catching fire. Maybe they are going to go after some LE or MIL contracts?

Either way, this is a great addition to the marketplace.

 

[fxdwgkd]

300prc please
I would be all over that

 

[Jmccracken1214]

1.5# trigger? ewwww

You might be surprised how many people buy .308 or 300 WM for their first rifle. All sorts of reasons for this, but I’d bet that sales on those calibers would surprise you.

$2000, it should come with one of those.

 

[blacknwhite11]

Article I saw had model numbers for both 6 5 and 300 prc

See that in an article as well now that I went and looked, they do not have either of those two listed on their website. Thanks

 

[blacknwhite11]

I'm real interested in one in 300 prc. Would be really happy with a 1/8.5 twist 30" tube lol

 

[Sharpe74]

Dang, that is pretty badass. Also, this will put the ACC chassis into stock class. That is insane. That is a very compelling setup. When are these going to be in stores?

I saw a post on a different forum that they will be shipping in December

I will not disagree with that

[308pirate]

Yes because no one, absolutely no one, outside the military and police would buy a 30 caliber rifle for long range precision work.

The Savage website does not list a 300NM offering but this link does?

eta: This article lists a 300PRC and 300NM offering complete with SKU numbers but nothing on Savages website?!

would probably be safe to assume not ALL cartridges are available right away

 

[b6graham]

I think at this point they aren't 100% sure *what* the final offerings are going to be...

that list is confirmed. with 6.5PRC coming when mag is done

 

[Jknox1030]

My first 2 LR rigs were Savages. I lost my shirt when I sold them. That was an expensive lesson for me. They were accurate enough early, but had extraction issues and super heavy bolt lifts.

I’ll never own another savage, but I’m glad that there are all these options out there. Makes for a good, competitive market for the consumers!

 

[POI_Shift]

sku list on AR is accurate.

Congrats sir you have now passed a 5 post per year average!

working on it lol. All those skus aren't going to be available right at the moment however. Hopefully that clears the confusion.

I gave them a call today and they said the rest of the calibers will be listed about December. They also said thats about the time the current ones listed on the website should start shipping. They are getting orders already

I too run an AI. I have had a few Savages over the years. They were all quite accurate. I’m planning to pick up a 300PRC sometime next year. I won’t be able to stretch it out as much as I’d like so It doesn’t make sense for me to spend AXMC money on one. This is a very interesting option to me. However the accutrigger would have to go.

I wonder what they do to “blueprint” the action.
