    Savage 6.5 BA Stealth review




    I've had the Savage BA Stealth in for about 6 months now and done a good bit of shooting with it; both suppressed and unsuppressed. My thoughts:

    Pros:
    • Monolithic Chassis
    • MLOK forend
    • fluted barrel
    • standard 5/8'' threads
    • takes AI mags (including PMAGs)
    • lighter than most rifles in its' class
    • accuracy has been solid (shown in video)



    Cons:
    • stock looks funny but is functional
    • factory magazine, when fully loaded, swells to the point of being very difficult to insert/seat



    Full review:

    Great video as always. I've been thinking about getting into the 6.5cm game and this or the Bergara HMR are at the top of my list.

    That's on my list as well. Problem is the list keeps getting longer!!

    Did you use the supplied scope base or get a different one. I have the 308 version of this gun and found out the scope base it comes with is a 0 MOA one. I wanted to use an EGW 20 MOA base but this gun uses larger base screws than normal so now you have to get the drilled out egw base which is a couple weeks lead time. If I dont need the 20MOA base then I'll stick with the stock 0 MOA one.

    One of your cons was the stock, but from the picture, it appears that it might be interchangable with other standard AR15 stocks. Is this the case? Or does it just appear that way?

    It's a MDT LSS chassis, looks like the long version https://mdttac.com/lss-xl-chassis-system.html

    For what they are they are very lightweight. I have a MDT HS3 for my tikka in 6.5. I'm still on the fence weather I like it or not yet.
