Savage Stealth in 6.5 - First impressions.

[samurai]

I know this is a dumb question, but what is the length of the barrel on your 6.5 stealth? Mine is 22" and the factory specs say 24". Are they making 2 different models?

Creedmoor 6.5 should be 24 "

Actually 26" is what I would have liked 🖒

Especially for long range shooting

I just checked it again against my Ruger precision and it's 2" shorter. I will check the one (Savage) at the store this morning and measure it. This gun just came in last Wednesday.

Checked another in stock gun and it's 22" also- looks like I'm calling Savage tomorrow.

Strange that it's 22" . . .

Yep mine is 22". No wonder my reloads are a little slow. Not cool Savage!

Even Savage's website list the barrel length at 24". I called and a superviser is supposed to call me back. This makes me mad. I was annoyed that the scope mount had different size holes and was 0 MOA and not 20. But to screw up the barrel length is piss poor! The standard for 6.5 is 24".

26" would even be better for long range shooting

The person I talked to Monday said a supervisor would call me in 24-48 hrs. Customer Service didn't seem to be aware of the issue and had to "download" the website page to show to her supervisor.

All of my distributors show it as 24", so I'm not too concerned if the website mysteriously changes.

They should do something. I would like a new barrel. But I doubt they step up and do the right thing. We will see.

Maybe see if they'll pay you a Hawk Hill Custom 😉

RJ from Savage just called me and they are in the process of getting some new barrels in and will swap out the 22" in barrels for 24". But expect a 3-4 week turnaround. Way to go Savage :thumb:!

After reading this post I just measured my barrel and s.o.b it's 22"!!! I also noticed today that I already have rust started on the nut where the chassis meets the butt stock, there is no finish on my nut at all, never paid any attention to it before until just noticed rust. This chassis system is supposed to be cerekoted, must be they missed the nut, anyone else seeing this on theirs??

Well I checked and - you guessed it - 22". Has anyone heard process for swapping? Will they send replacement or do you have to send in? Also, I did notice some rust on castle nut when I replaced with fixed stock. I'm pretty sure that was std castle nut, nothing fancy there.
