Savage 110 KLYM 6.5 PRC 24″ Barrel 2-Rounds

I’ve handled a lot of long-range platforms over the years, and the conversation always circles back to fundamentals: a true pillar-bedded action, a barrel that’s free-floated from the factory, and a trigger you can actually trust. The Savage 110 KLYM in 6.5 PRC isn’t just another rifle; it’s a purpose-built system that addresses those fundamentals head-on, designed for the shooter who understands that precision is a product of intelligent engineering, not just marketing. From the moment you shoulder it, the balance and the solid lock-up of the bolt tell you this is a tool meant for work, whether that’s stretching steel at 1,000 yards or making an ethical, clean shot in the backcountry.

Miamishooterssupply is a Boise, ID-based retailer specializing in precision firearms and components for the DIY enthusiast and gunsmith. The Savage 110 KLYM 6.5 PRC is a bolt-action rifle engineered for extreme long-range accuracy and harsh environmental conditions. Its defining feature is the fully integrated, user-adjustable AccuFit stock system combined with Savage’s proven AccuTrigger. Available now for $1,779.29, a significant saving from its $1,976.99 MSRP.

What Makes the Savage 110 KLYM a Serious Long-Range Contender

Let’s talk about the 6.5 PRC cartridge first. It’s not a fad. It’s a modern, high-efficiency cartridge designed to push heavy, high-BC bullets at velocities that flat-out perform at distance, with less recoil than many magnum counterparts. The 110 KLYM is chambered specifically for this round, and Savage pairs it with a 24-inch, heavy-sporter contour barrel. This length is the sweet spot for the 6.5 PRC, allowing for near-full powder burn and optimal velocity without becoming unwieldy. The barrel is button-rifled and free-floated from the receiver to the fore-end cap, a critical detail for consistent point of impact.

The heart of any bolt gun is its action. The Savage 110 series uses a large, cylindrical receiver that provides a rigid platform. The bolt head is a three-lug design that gives a 60-degree lift for fast, low-clearance cycling. What I appreciate from a gunsmith’s perspective is the pinned recoil lug—it’s not just a washer sandwiched in there. This lug is a solid piece of steel pinned between the barrel and receiver, ensuring a permanent, square interface that directly manages recoil forces. This is a detail often overlooked but crucial for maintaining zero over the long haul.

Then there’s the stock. The KLYM features Savage’s AccuFit system, and it’s not a gimmick. You get multiple, interchangeable comb risers and length-of-pull spacers. This lets you tailor the rifle’s fit to your body, your optic, and your shooting position—whether prone, from a bench, or in a treestand. A proper cheek weld and consistent eye relief are non-negotiable for precision work. The stock itself is a synthetic, textured design with an integrated, full-length aluminum bedding block. This isn’t just a skim coat of epoxy; the action screws directly into this aluminum chassis embedded in the stock, providing a stable, stress-free foundation. From a law enforcement perspective, this kind of repeatable, rigid bedding is what you’d expect in a designated marksman rifle.

Key Features & Performance Details

The AccuTrigger is a hallmark of modern Savage rifles, and for good reason. It’s a user-adjustable trigger that can be set from approximately 2.5 to 6 pounds using a simple tool. The design incorporates a blade safety within the trigger itself, allowing for a clean, crisp break without the mush or creep found in many factory triggers. It’s one of the few factory triggers I rarely feel the need to immediately replace for a serious build.

The rifle comes topped with a Picatinny rail for optic mounting. It’s a solid, machined piece, not a flimsy stamping. The two-round, detachable box magazine is flush-fitting, maintaining the rifle’s clean lines. The bolt handle is oversized for positive grip with gloves, a thoughtful touch for a rifle named after a mountain range. The finish is a matte, weather-resistant coating on all metal surfaces, designed to withstand moisture and abrasion.

Pros and Cons: An Honest Assessment

✅ Superior Out-of-the-Box Accuracy: The combination of the free-floated barrel, AccuTrigger, and pillar-bedded aluminum block stock gives this rifle a significant accuracy advantage over many factory competitors.
✅ Fully Adjustable Ergonomics: The AccuFit system is a real solution for achieving a custom fit without aftermarket stock costs.
✅ Proven, Robust Action: The 110 action is time-tested, simple, and strong. The pinned recoil lug is a professional-grade feature.
✅ Optimal Chambering: 6.5 PRC in a 24-inch barrel is a modern, highly effective long-range hunting and target combination.
✅ Excellent Value Proposition: At this sale price, you’re getting features and performance often found in rifles costing several hundred dollars more.

❌ Two-Round Magazine Capacity: For some hunters or tactical shooters, two rounds may feel limited. This is a trade-off for the sleek, flush-fit design. If higher capacity is a need, see our Bolt Action Rifles for models with different magazine systems.
❌ Heavy Barrel Contour: The “heavy sporter” barrel adds stability but also weight. It’s not a lightweight mountain rifle. If ultralight backpacking is your primary goal, you might consider a different profile.

Who This Rifle Is For (And Who Should Look Elsewhere)

Buy it if: You are a long-range hunter pursuing elk, mule deer, or similar game at extended ranges. You are a precision rifle enthusiast or a hand-loader looking for a highly capable factory platform to build upon. You value a rifle that can be personally fitted to your dimensions without tools or a gunsmith. You understand and want to leverage the ballistic advantages of the 6.5 PRC cartridge.

Skip it if: Your primary need is for a lightweight rifle for strenuous, close-quarters backpack hunts (the heavy barrel adds weight). You require a high-capacity, detachable magazine for competitive shooting or other purposes. Your budget is strictly under $1,000 for the rifle alone. You are a brand purist who only considers traditional American or European legacy brands.

The Ruger American is a fantastic budget option, but it lacks the refined trigger, adjustable stock, and robust bedding of the KLYM. The Bergara B-14 HMR is a closer competitor with its excellent chassis-like stock and Remington 700 footprint, but it often comes in at a higher price and may not include the same level of ergonomic adjustability in the stock as the AccuFit system. The KLYM occupies a compelling middle ground of premium features at a non-premium price.
