Like I said, you pretty much add about the diameter of the action in comparison to an AR-style rifle as in the AR the bolt goes back into the stock, not over top of it. That's one thing Ruger got right on their Precision Rifle that Savage totally missed the boat on with all three of their chassis models. Guess that's the difference between designing your own chassis rifle in-house (Ruger) and just slapping your existing setup into an aftermarket chassis (Savage).

Love my Savage's, but sometimes they just really get it wrong and this is one of those instances.
