Precision rifles are a study in balance: materials, geometry, trigger control and shooter discipline all combine to deliver repeatable accuracy at distance. When you’re evaluating long-range platforms for hunting, competition or tactical training, you want a rifle that brings proven action design together with modern materials and user-tunable features.
SAVAGE ARMS 110 KLYM
The 110 KLYM builds on the Model 110 lineage — one of North America’s longest-produced bolt actions — pairing that rugged, field-proven action with premium modern components for a platform designed around accuracy and speed. Chambered in 7mm PRC with a 22-inch carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel from Proof Research and fitted to FBT’s lightweight thumbhole carbon fiber stock, this rifle is purpose-built for shooters who demand long-range performance without excess weight.
Design and Build Quality
The Savage 110 action has a long reputation for reliability and serviceability. Savage’s decision to pair that action with a Proof Research carbon-wrapped stainless barrel gives the KLYM a modern accuracy edge: stainless steel for material stability with a carbon wrap to reduce weight and improve heat dissipation. The inclusion of a pre-installed omniport muzzle brake lets you manage recoil and muzzle rise on the 7mm PRC — and it’s removable if you prefer to run a suppressor or a different muzzle device for specialized applications.
Key features highlighted
– AccuTrigger: Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger allows shooters to dial trigger weight between 1.5 and 4 pounds, letting you tune the pull to match personal preference and discipline.
– 20 MOA Picatinny rail: Factory-installed 20 MOA rail gives extra elevation for long-range optics, helping keep your turret travel in-range for precision engagements.
– 2-round detachable box magazine: Compact and functional for a bolt gun built for performance, the included magazine matches the rifle’s profile and mission set.
Barrel, Caliber, and Ballistics
Chambered in 7mm PRC with a 22-inch carbon-wrapped stainless barrel, the KLYM is optimized for modern long-range trajectories. The 7mm PRC was designed to deliver high retained energy and flat trajectories at extended ranges while remaining manageable in recoil compared with larger magnum calibers. The 22-inch barrel length on this model balances velocity and portability — ideal for mountain hunting or mobile precision work where every ounce matters.
Why 7mm PRC?
7mm PRC offers a compelling blend of ballistic coefficient and sectional density in long-range bullets. Expect strong downrange energy, good wind resistance from high-BC projectiles, and a platform that performs well across hunting, PRS-style matches and tactical training. The carbon-wrapped stainless barrel reduces weight and helps keep the rifle stable during strings of fire.
Ergonomics and Handling
The FBT thumbhole-style carbon fiber stock is lightweight and offers a natural cheek weld and grip geometry for off-hand and prone positions. Thumbhole stocks often improve perceived recoil control and provide a consistent hand position for follow-up shots. Combine that with the AccuTrigger and the 110’s dependable bolt action, and you have a rifle that will track in and out of recoil predictably.
Modularity and Maintenance
One of the Model 110’s strengths is how approachable it is for upgrades. The action’s simplicity means barrels can be swapped, chassis or stock upgrades are straightforward, and common maintenance tasks are familiar to most armorers and experienced shooters. The pre-installed 20 MOA rail and the removable muzzle device give you flexibility for optics and muzzle accessories right out of the box.
Practical Applications
For hunting: The 7mm PRC in a 22-inch package is a strong choice for big game at extended ranges where you need downrange performance without a heavy carry weight. For competition: PRS-style stages and long-range precision matches will benefit from the cartridge’s ballistics and the rifle’s trigger and barrel spec. For tactical training: the durable 110 action and modularity make the KLYM a sensible platform for disciplined marksmanship and training scenarios.
Price and value: Priced at $2455.99, SAVAGE ARMS 110 KLYM positions itself in the premium entry range — higher than basic factory rifles, but offering significant value in materials (Proof Research barrel, carbon stock) and factory-ready features (AccuTrigger, 20 MOA rail, omniport brake). That pricing reflects a balance between performance components and a serviceable, upgradable action.

Range Setup and Shooting Tips
Start your zero at 100 yards with a quality optic mounted on the 20 MOA rail. Use a chronograph to load-match bullets and find your sweet spot for velocity and stability. With the AccuTrigger set to a comfortable but safe pull weight, focus on consistent trigger press and follow-through. The carbon-wrapped barrel will handle multi-shot strings with less heat-induced shift than some blued barrels, but it’s still good practice to allow cooling between long strings when testing loads.
Ammo selection
Use premium bullets designed for long-range accuracy and high ballistic coefficient. The 7mm PRC responds well to bullets in the 175–190 grain range for precision work; match seating depth and powder charge carefully and log your results at multiple ranges to build reliable dope tables.
Who should consider the 110 KLYM?
If you’re a hunter who needs a lighter long-range rifle, a precision competitor looking for a ready-to-run factory platform, or a tactical shooter wanting a reliable bolt gun with modern materials, the SAVAGE ARMS 110 KLYM makes a strong case. Its blend of the 110’s proven action, adjustable AccuTrigger, a Proof Research barrel and carbon fiber stock gives shooters a capable rifle straight from the factory that’s also easy to upgrade down the road.
