Description
The Savage 10/110BA Stealth Evolution, 6mm Creedmoor, 26″, 10rd, Bronze Cerakote is a purpose-built, chassis-based precision rifle designed for long-range shooting. It combines Savage’s renowned out-of-the-box accuracy with a fully adjustable MDT chassis system, making it a ready-to-race or ready-to-hunt platform that requires no gunsmithing to get on target. At $1563.87, it’s a serious tool for shooters who value performance over polish.
Key Features
- MDT ESS Chassis System: A fully adjustable, aluminum chassis with an integrated ARCA rail, M-LOK forend, and a fully adjustable buttstock and cheek riser. It’s a system you’d typically pay much more for on its own.
- 6mm Creedmoor Chambering: This 26-inch heavy-contour barrel is threaded 5/8″-24 and optimized for the flat-shooting, low-recoil 6mm Creedmoor, a favorite in PRS and long-range hunting circles for its ballistic efficiency.
- AccuFit & AccuTrigger: Savage’s user-adjustable comb and length-of-pull system lets you dial the fit, while the legendary, crisp AccuTrigger is set from the factory for a clean, predictable break.
- Bronze Cerakote Finish: More than just looks, the durable Bronze Cerakote provides corrosion resistance and a unique aesthetic that stands out from the typical black rifle crowd.

I’ve put a few hundred rounds of factory 108gr ELD-Match through my sample, and the consistency is what you expect from Savage—solid sub-MOA groups with good ammo, right from the first box. The 10-round AICS pattern magazine is reliable and feeds smoothly, a critical detail when you’re on the clock. That said, the 11.5-pound weight is a feature, not a bug; it’s built for stability, not hiking miles of backcountry. The real win is the MDT chassis. It transforms the feel from a traditional hunting rifle into a stable, modular platform. You can mount bipods directly to the full-length ARCA rail—I used a Magpul bipod—and the extensive M-LOK slots let you add weights, barricade stops, or anything else you need.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the precision-oriented shooter who wants a complete system without the custom shop price tag. Think PRS/NRL competitors looking for a dependable production-class rifle, or a serious varmint/long-range hunter who appreciates a stable shooting platform. It’s also a fantastic foundation for someone new to the precision rifle world who wants to learn on a capable, no-excuses tool that they won’t immediately outgrow. If you’re just looking for a lightweight deer rifle, this isn’t it—but you already knew that.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy-to-dollar ratio is exceptional. The MDT chassis is a massive upgrade over a standard stock. The 6mm Creedmoor in a 26-inch barrel lets you stretch out and manage wind. The fit and finish, especially in the Bronze Cerakote, is top-notch for this price point. It’s truly drop-in ready.
Cons: It’s heavy. That’s the trade-off for stability. The factory barrel, while accurate, is a sporter contour; some shooters may eventually want a heavier profile. The magazine, while high-quality, is an extra cost if you want spares.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device?
A: Yes, it comes with a 5/8″-24 thread pattern, ready for a muzzle brake, compensator, or suppressor. A quality brake like one from Precision Armament or Area 419 is a logical first upgrade to further tame the already mild 6mm Creedmoor recoil.
Q: What optics mount does it use?
A: The action uses a standard Savage 110 long-action footprint, which is the same as a Remington 700 long-action. You’ll need corresponding scope rings or a one-piece base. I used a 20 MOA Picatinny rail from EGW and Vortex Precision Matched Rings to get my scope mounted solidly.
Q: Can I change the caliber later?
A: One of the strengths of the Savage 110 action is its barrel nut system, which allows for relatively easy barrel swaps by a competent gunsmith or a handy owner with the right tools. You can re-barrel to other cartridges that share the same bolt face, like the 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 Winchester.
Look, if you’re in the market for a precision rifle that doesn’t demand a second mortgage, the Savage 10/110BA Stealth Evolution makes a compelling argument. It brings together proven components into a cohesive, accurate package.
