Am hoping Savage doesn't drag there feet with limited availability on the stealths. My 10T 308 is an awesome rifle and am looking for my 1st 6.5CM. Want to see one in person but looks like the stealth will be my next rifle. Brother in law brought his RPR in 6.5CM over to show me and been looking since. Glad I did not get one yet. Looking on Drake Associates web site, may even get a chassis from them for my 10T to match the 6.5CM I will probably get.

Savage isn't making the chassis stock in-house so supply of complete guns will likely depend on the supplier's ability to keep up with Savage's demand for them.

Gonna order one
Guess in Creedmoor 6.5 and otherwise in 308 and swap the barrel
Well I bought one and it shoots fine. A little stiff at first but after 200 rounds it goes like gang busters. No failures whatsoever. The ba10 6.5 stealth shoots better than my ability. SWFA 12x fixed power zeroed at 200 yards and I shoot 3 inch groups at 200 yards all day long. Still experimenting with ammo. Hornady 129 IL, 140, and 143 so far. Next up is the 120 AMAX. Love the trigger. Nothing fancy, but consistent and light. Only other adds are the Harris bipod and the fcs muzzle brake. Did do the 5 round/clean/5 round 60 round total - barrel break in. If I don't blink, I can watch the hit through the scope...need to work on that. Recoil is more a lot more than a 5.56 and slightly less less than a 3.08. It's a snap to clean.
This thread has been dormant for some time so I thought I would update this. About to have my 6.5 CM action back and put it all back together again. I was not a fan of the accu trigger after pulling on a Jewell. So I had them put Competition triggers on both rifles at least it will be closer.
The way I see it I paid right at 3k for a special run, one of 15 in the world. You dont suppose the private seller dumping them on gun broker knew that the market was about to be flooded with similar rifles? no of course not. Sent off for some truing and a trigger upgrade plus half of the local smith rip off. So with out a scope that puts me into this rifle for right a 4k.
Anyone interested in it for 4500? NO? didnt think so. Just more bad debt Im going to pass on to my children. At least the darn thing shoots, or at least it used to. Hoping its even better to operate. I wonder if I created a gun buying and selling business, if I could take a loss on this one under the heading of dumb ass moves. Thats ok Ill enjoy shooting the crap out of it. My plan is to take the darth vader heavy as hell top metal off and just replace with a 20 moa egw rail.
That bites. Enjoy it then Pass it down like you said.
