Design and build quality

The Benchrest model’s wood laminate stock provides a stable, temperature-resistant platform that resists warping under field conditions and maintains consistent bedding contact. The matte stainless steel barrel offers corrosion resistance and a clean, non-reflective finish preferred for daylight shooting. Because the action is a traditional bolt action in the Bolt Action category and listed under Savage Arms with model Various, you get proven mechanics with match-oriented tolerances.

Action, feeding, and accuracy

The single-shot magazine is deliberate: it eliminates magazine spring tension variables and promotes identical seating for every round — a choice many benchrest shooters prefer for ultimate group consistency. The drilled and tapped receiver simplifies mounting quality optics without gunsmithing, allowing rigid bases and high-end scope rings to be installed quickly.

Setup and optics

With the receiver ready for scope mounts, pairing a precision long-range optic completes the package. Shooters should choose glass with fine reticle adjustments and tracking suited to their preferred distances. Remember: the rifle’s inherent accuracy is best realized with meticulous load development and a stable rest.
