I am trying to decide on a new rifle in 6.5 Creedmore. I am looking at either the 10 Stealth Evolution at $1819 MSRP or the 110 Precision at $1499 MSRP. Other than the stock is there any difference? I do know that they can be had for less than MSRP but I am looking for what may the differences be. Savage website is woefully uninformative.

I have a few creedmoor and I reload my own ammo and right now H4350 is non existent, 5.56 is the same way.. my point is, I love the creedmoor but during this pandemic shit you may want to consider ammo availability on whatever you give. I would NEVER tell anyone not to go creedmoor, just sharing what I have found right now. Big name and small shops alike have 0 creedmoor and 5.56 ammo availability nor powders for reloading themOriginally Posted by coffeediver

Ted, Isn't that true for any caliber in quantity. Preparation is the word for the times we live in. And that is all encompassing.
Bighorn Origin: $825
Trigger: $40-$250
Barrel: $360-$550
Nut: $20 -$60
Chassis: $400-$1000
A guy could put together a nice ride for 1800 bucks and it would hold value with a much better action than a stock Savage.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Very true. And, I don't think I'd ever spend over $1000 for a factory Savage of any flavor.
Very interesting answers that have nothing to do with the question that I asked and especially in a forum called SavageShooters.com.
I think what they are trying to say is that you are still getting a button rifled barrel in a cost range where you could have a premium cut rifled and hand lapped barrel.
The differences in the descriptions. 5R button rifling the other does not say. One has AICS mag, the other does not say so it may not be. Both trued actions with varmint accutriggers. DIfferent chassis. Different weight.
I'd talk to someone at Savage before making a choice.
At least my answer was "very" interesting. I try to be better than average.
Luckily I have a very very nice stock of pills and powders for all my arms:)

I am no gunsmith but have built my own AR-15. I do not shoot competition though I would like to, 6 back surgeries keep me from being able to move well, kneel and especially go prone that would be needed for that. I usually only shoot at my local club out to 600 yards. I do have some 1K yd ranges not too far. I was originally looking just to re-barrel my 10 FCP-K 308 that I shoot suppressed to 6.5 CM and to maybe add a Oryx chassis and new trigger. My 10FCP is a bottom bolt release so I have issues with finding upgrades.
For what I was going to do to my current rifle I figured I could buy something new such as the Savage 10 Stealth Evolution or the newer 110 Precision and get most of what I was looking for and then end up with having 2 rifles, I do still have reloading components for the 308.
If I were to go with Robinhood's suggestion and go with the Bighorn Origin action, then I am looking at spending $1800+ at a minimum as apposed to $1200-$1400 going the factory rifle option. Not knowing much about the Bighorn action, is it basically set up for Savage prefit barrels? Would it have the same action screw setup as a savage or would I needs a chassis for Remington 700? What barrel manufactures cut and not button rifle the barrels?
I am not opposed to putting my own rifle together as long as I can get something of good quality that would not then need to be put together by a gunsmith equaling more money spent. If I go this route then all the money over what I was going to pay for the factory Savage would then have gone to reloading tools and components. Going the more custom route would take everything I have and leave nothing for extraneous. Basically I have $2K total. Money from selling things from one hobby I don't do anymore to put into another.
I do love to put 5 shots into the same hole but I know that any rifle I get is far more accurate than I am. I just enjoying a 6 inch steel plate at 600 yards

Not really, I'm seeing lots of odd ball ammo and guns still available. They may not be desirable for certain applications but would definitely be good for home defense. I'm seeing 16ga, 410, lots of lower end 9mm, 38spc.. I've mainly seen the shortage in the popular guns and ammo. May be good chance to diversify. I've never owned a shotgun but when I saw a 16 on the shelf and a boat load of ammo I bought my 1st shotgun 2 days ago

I wouldnt overlook the savage target actions, I have a 308 with shilen I built on target action.. laser accurate, saving for a scope now, did load dev using vortex that's on another rifle.. probably end up with vortex or primary arms on this

I think savage has teamed up with MPA?? cant remember for sure the chassis name but it's a high precision rifle.. it's their attempt into the high end precision market I believe

MDT chassis.
Yes, that's them MTD. I'd love try one and see how they feel.

The Savage is the reason I posted the Badrock picture and price. I believe the OP was including the SAVAGE PRS spec gun in his choices. You wont find that rifle much lower than MSRP right now if you can find it at all.
The Savage has a better MDT stock in my opinion. However the action leaves a lot to be desired in the run and gun arena. They may be fine on your bench or in F/tr but you don't see a lot of them in high level competition unless they are paid to shoot them. There are exceptions.
Savage is still the best bang for the buck. If you know how to get them running smooth like Fred does they are a decent action with the exception of CRF.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
