Description
I remember the first time I shouldered a .338 Lapua rifle. The sheer authority of the cartridge was undeniable, but the price tags on most platforms were a hard pill to swallow. That’s the exact gap the Savage 110BA Stealth Left Handed, .338 Lapua Mag, 24″, Black Aluminum Chassis fills. It’s a purpose-built, long-range precision rifle designed for left-handed shooters, offering a robust aluminum chassis system and the formidable .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge at a surprisingly accessible price point of $1344.94.
Look, building a true long-range rifle from scratch can easily double that cost. The 110BA Stealth arrives as a complete system. The heart of it is Savage’s proven 110 action, which is famously accurate and now mirrored for southpaws. It’s paired with a heavy-contour, button-rifled 24-inch barrel with a 1:9.5″ twist rate, optimized to stabilize the long, heavy .338 Lapua projectiles. The real story, though, is the chassis. It’s a rigid, full-length aluminum chassis with an integrated AR-style pistol grip and a fully adjustable buttstock. The rifle weighs in at a substantial 11.8 pounds, which is a feature, not a bug—that mass soaks up recoil and provides a rock-steady platform. I’ve put a couple of boxes of Hornady Match ammo through one, and it’s drop-in ready for the range. You’ll need to add your own optic and mount, but the Picatinny rail is already there.
The chassis design is where you feel the value. It provides a solid, in-line feel that promotes consistent cheek weld and shoulder placement shot after shot. The adjustable length of pull and comb height mean you can tailor the fit precisely, which is non-negotiable for precision work. The detachable box magazine is a welcome feature, and it’s compatible with standard Accuracy International pattern .338 Lapua mags, which gives you plenty of aftermarket options for spares. The two-stage, user-adjustable AccuTrigger is a standout—it breaks cleanly and predictably, a critical component for making those long shots count. Here’s the thing—this isn’t a lightweight hunting rifle. With an overall length of 44.5 inches, it’s a dedicated tool for the bench or prone position.

Pros: Exceptional value for a .338 Lapua platform. The left-handed configuration is a true rarity at this price. The chassis system offers modern ergonomics and adjustability right out of the box. Savage’s accuracy reputation is well-earned, and the AccuTrigger is excellent. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, a standard and straightforward process we handle.
Cons: It’s heavy and long, strictly for stationary shooting. Ammunition cost for .338 Lapua is high, so practice gets expensive. The factory stock, while functional, isn’t as feature-rich as some premium chassis systems.
So who is this rifle for? It’s for the left-handed shooter who has graduated from .308 and wants to reach out beyond 1000 yards without a second mortgage. It’s for the precision rifle competitor on a budget or the shooter who wants a serious, no-frills long-range rifle that works. It’s also an ideal candidate for a law enforcement marksman looking for a capable platform. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor?
A: Yes, the 24-inch barrel comes from the factory with a threaded muzzle (5/8″-24 thread pitch). This allows you to easily install a quality muzzle brake, which is highly recommended to help manage the .338 Lapua’s significant recoil.
Q: What scope base does it use?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with a Picatinny-style rail already installed. This gives you maximum flexibility to choose your own rings and mount for virtually any long-range optic, from brands like Vortex, Nightforce, or Leupold.
Q: How does it compare to a custom-built .338?
A: A full custom rifle will have finer finishes, potentially better barrel steel, and more chassis customization. But for sheer ballistic performance and hitting capability, the 110BA Stealth delivers about 90% of that experience for less than half the cost. It’s the most pragmatic entry into the .338 Lapua world.
