A friend just bought one. He I s a serious long range bolt guy with $4000 scopes and custom builds his own guns (machine shop on property). He has several 1/4moa set up and hand loads...not reloads.
He bought the 338 savage stealth and a RPR in 6.5 creedmoore. The RUger is 1/4 to 1/2 moa to 200 yards with his feeding. He cant get the Savage below 2 moa consistently. He wants to know what people typically get the 338 Savage chassis accuracy to, what to do to it, or should he just sell it? |

I do not have one, but there are several video reviews of them on LookAtMeTube that shows them performing very well. ETA - I would remove the action from the chassis and re-mount the action to the chassis as per Drake's directions. They do have a torque sequence outlined for the process. You might have a Friday afternoon rifle that the gorilla in the Savage factory just slapped together so they could get out to drink a beer. |
| Every single screw on my 6.5CM stealth's rail was loose (one of the four was just ever so slightly getting a bite...which was apparently enough to allow the rifle to shoot ~OK). Didn't notice it until I went to change the factory rail out for a 20MOA version. My action screws were both tight though (about 35in-lb). In another thread I mentioned this issue and someone else said theirs had the same problem. I'd have your friend check his if I were you. That would be an easy place to start. |
