Its factory-blueprinted 10/110 action, matched with Savage’s zero-tolerance headspacing, user-adjustable AccuTrigger and 5R button rifling, produces sub-MOA accuracy at extreme range, right out of the box.
ZERO TOLERANCE HEADSPACING ?? Does this mean that Savage has changed their method of mating the bbl. to the action, other that the standard jam nut, OR is it just a marketing "thing" ??

"Another “keeper” in the feature category is zero-tolerance headspacing and the floating bolt head. When Savage barrels an action, they thread a fully chambered barrel down against a “go” headspace gauge and lock it in place with a lock nut. That results in consistent chambers and perfect headspace from one gun to the next."
The only thing that Savage has changed is the way they embellish the marketing language. The Stealth is no better, nor worse than any other gun they build.

People seem to get confused easily at Savages marketing wording. People still think they have a 10/110 action, when it's actually one or the other.
they are headspaced the same way as ever, but if the action is blueprinted at the factory, it has, potentially, better accuracy. I doubt it helps much, though. Basic Savages are pretty dang ood the way they are. It's not just marketting hype or a new way to describe the same old rifle, though.
