Savage Actions Source

[Robinhood]

Here is a website that can educate you on the ins and outs of the PRS competition.

Your idea to go to a match is on target. There are several reasons that hardly any Savages make it into PRS. Not to say there are none but 99 percent graduate to an action that has less issues like feeding, heavy bolt lift and failure to extract when the heat is on. If you want to shoot PRS. Do not use a savage action unless the underdog position Is where you want to live. A custom action can be had for $350 more than a Savage repeater target action. You can spend a lot more but there is no need to pay 1700 for one.

Here is another good website for the info you are asking about. Fact based.

Yeah, if your primary goal is PRS & you want to be competitive, a Savage is not the answer. Though, neither is a Factory Rem.700, Tikka T3 or Howa 1500 Action! The Customs are the answer for PRS comp.

Savages are just great rifles with an awesome history in this country. The 110 is now the Longest running produced Action in US history. The Savage 110 IS America’s rifle! Some of us just really appreciate those aspects.

I always recommend visiting where you plan to shoot. Many of those groups may even let you try your hand with a loaner rifle, or at least let you look at what they are shooting.

If the build part isn't important there are other options out there as well. Tikka, Sako, Howa, Begara, FN, Ruger, etc. Howa even has an Oryx chassis rifle.

I also like the Accurate Shooter and 6BR websites.

Does all Gen 3 short actions (110) have the same 4.400" screw spacing?
