Well that's not good......been almost 5 hours since your post and no answers or comments regarding Savage.. Wonder if that means anything?

I'd bet a six pack of beer that these rifles are damn fine shooters.
If you look at the Precision 110 series, it's a full sized, bottle necked cartridge rifle from 6.5 Creed to 338 Lapua, sitting in a MDT LSS XL chassis.
I have seven Savage 10/110 variant rifles, and all are sub MOA, one is in a LSS XL chassis.
To me, the chassis is the problem because it's ergonomics suck for anything besides shooting from a bench or prone with a bipod, and that's not how I hunt.
Hopefully, someone with PRS experience can weigh in on this subject, as I believe that is the intended market for this series of rifles.
Regarding chassis -- anything you do with a chassis, unless the chassis is CF or magnesium, you can do lighter and better with a wooden or CF stock. I see another problem in that few high end stock makers produce stocks for Savage actions.

My first rifle as a kid was a Savage .270, my first AR as an adult was a Savage patrol model, swapped out handguard for a free floating one (bought it during covid and couldn't get ahold of the recon model) not precision rifles but both were solid and pretty good accuracy.

I got a savage 110 scout in 223. It shoots well enough. Not what you asked, but I'm sharing anyway

I've had a Savage 10FC.. P something.. something in 308 in a Bell& Carlson stock for about 12 years and it's rock solid, but it was also pretty inexpensive- given the price or their Precision series with the MDT chassis, they're in a very crowded space with maybe better options.

First I've heard of them. But then, I don't get a single gun magazine anymore. Just now, I looked at the Savage web site that shows them. I'm not really into tactical, semi-tactical, or tactical-looking stuff. So on that basis, I wouldn't be a customer.

BUT: My range pal Jerry W., who is no longer with us, was a Savage fan and used his rifles for precision shooting. He was one of those guys who got out the bore guide and rifle rod before shooting and before leaving the range, carefully swabbing the bore. He shot some pretty tiny groups with his Savage rifles.

Also looking at the Savage website, I see they make a rifle called the Impulse with a straight pull action. That's different.

I had a Savage years ago in .222 Rem, very accurate rifle.

i had a savage arms 22lr for a while. i thought it shot very well considering how inexpensive they are. i could spend a little more on better ammo since it's cheap 22 anyway. i wouldn't hate having another one, just not sure i'd use it as much as i once did.

All of my Savage rifles are precision rifles

I have a SAVAGE model 12 VLP DBM in .243 win that is way more accurate then I can shoot. Nickle sized groups of 5 at 100yards with factory ammo. Dime sized with my handloads. I have a Savage MKII VHT the target version with Williams target peeps and its the most accurate .22 I have ever shot and I have shot a lot of .22' in my 62 years of shooting.

SAVAGE has always made a rifle that out shoots its price tag by a bunch.

Don't have one, but have considered it. It makes a great economical way to get into long range precision shooting. The Savage shooting team does extremely well against the more expensive rifles. The Ruger Precision rifle has some nice design touches that makes it a bit easier to live with, but the Savage can be set up very similarly.

Not all Savages are the same. If you have had a Savage hunting rifle (or a Ruger American) then you might be aware that they feed a bit rough. They still shoot very accurately. The Savage Precision Rifle is factory blueprinted and that makes a huge difference. I have a Savage Timberline and those are factory blueprinted and smooth as silk.

What I really like about the Savage and the Ruger Precision is that you can swap barrels with simple tools and some go no-go gauges. Lots of after market support for both. If yo can, handle both and see which one appeals the most to you.

This guy has a pretty good series on the Savage Precision Rifle

Savage has been known for putting out very accurate guns for a reasonable price.

I'm just glad they didn't cave like so many weaker companies and change their name. I also think my rifles are far more accurate than I am.
