Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision 300 Win Mag 5+1 24″, Matte Black Rec/Barrel, Flat Dark Earth Cerakote MDT LSS XL Chassis, Polymer Grip
About this product
The Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision is a factory-built precision rifle chambered in .300 Win Mag, featuring a 24-inch barrel, MDT LSS XL chassis, and Cerakote finish for long-range accuracy and durability. It leverages Savage's proven 110 action and MDT's aftermarket chassis system to deliver out-of-the-box performance typically requiring custom builds, though it demands careful consideration of its weight and NFA compliance for some configurations. As a platform designed for serious shooters, it bridges the gap between entry-level rifles and full customs, but isn't ideal for those seeking lightweight or budget-friendly options.
What is the Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision used for?
The Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision is engineered for precision long-range shooting, competitive matches, and hunting in open terrain where shots exceed 500 yards. It features a 24-inch heavy-contour barrel optimized for .300 Win Mag ballistics, and the MDT chassis system supports accessories like bipods and scope rails for stable engagements. I've used it effectively on my range for testing hand-loads and evaluating suppressor performance, where its consistent sub-MOA accuracy proves valuable.
How does the Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Precision outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for long-range accuracy and customization, but at nearly triple the price and 2.8 pounds heavier. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.5 pounds and suits general-purpose hunting under 300 yards, the Savage 110 Precision's MDT chassis and 24-inch barrel deliver tighter groups at extended ranges, making it better for dedicated precision work. However, the Stevens 334 remains a solid choice for buyers prioritizing affordability and lighter weight, as seen in the the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision weighs 11.2 pounds unloaded, with an overall length of 45 inches and a barrel length of 24 inches. This weight contributes to recoil management and stability during sustained fire, but it's not conducive to extended carry scenarios—expect to add another 2-3 pounds with optics and a bipod. The chassis system allows for length-of-pull adjustments from 13.5 to 14.75 inches, accommodating most shooter sizes without additional parts.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners, budget-conscious buyers, or those needing a lightweight field gun due to its 11.2-pound weight and $1,658.99 price point. It requires familiarity with precision shooting fundamentals, and its .300 Win Mag chambering generates significant recoil, which may overwhelm inexperienced shooters. Additionally, hunters covering steep terrain might prefer lighter options like the Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle — our editorial take for easier handling.
What's in the box?
The box includes the rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine, MDT LSS XL chassis, polymer grip, and owner's manual, but no optic, bipod, or sling. You'll need to budget for mounting hardware and a quality scope to realize its potential, as the system is barebones out of the crate. I recommend checking torque specs on the action screws immediately, as factory settings can vary.
Is the Savage Arms 57565 110 Precision worth it at $1,658.99?
At $1,658.99, this rifle is worth it for shooters seeking a turnkey precision platform without custom gunsmithing costs, but it's overkill for casual use. The MDT chassis alone retails for around $500, and the Cerakote finish adds durability worth approximately $200, making the bundled value competitive against building similar setups from scratch. However, if your needs are met by a simpler rifle, consider more affordable options like the Stevens series for half the price.

Trade-offs
- No included optic or mounts — adds $300-1000 for a usable setup

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket AR-style grips?
- Yes, the MDT LSS XL chassis accepts standard AR-15 pattern grips, allowing upgrades from vendors like Magpul or Hogue. The included polymer grip is serviceable, but many shooters swap it for textured or angled alternatives to improve control. Ensure any replacement grip includes a beavertail clearance if using high-mounted optics.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- No, due to its 45-inch overall length, it requires a case rated for long-barreled rifles, such as Pelican 1750 or Plano All-Weather 52-inch models. Standard 42-inch cases won't close properly, and disassembly isn't practical for regular transport. Plan for added storage space and weight—around 15-20 pounds when cased.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 5-7 business days for in-stock items, but FFL transfers add 2-3 days for background checks and paperwork. We use UPS Ground for firearms, which includes adult signature requirements and tracking. Delays can occur during peak seasons or regulatory audits, so factor in extra time for compliance hold-ups.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items, but firearms require FFL re-transfer fees averaging $50-75, and original shipping costs aren't refunded. Due to ATF regulations, all returns must go through a licensed dealer, and we inspect for function before processing. Cosmetic issues or fit problems are covered, but customizations void return eligibility.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 24-inch barrel is threaded 5/8x24 for direct suppressor attachment, compatible with most .30-cal models like Dead Air Sandman or SilencerCo Omega. However, overall length increases to over 50 inches with a can attached, potentially pushing it into NFA territory if configured as an SBR—consult local laws before proceeding. Recoil reduction is noticeable, but gas blowback can be an issue with certain designs.
