Customer Reviews for Savage 10BA STEALTH 6.5mm CREEDMOOR

This thing is a tack driver! I bought mine for a long range target rifle, but it is an absolute whitetail deer slayer right out of the box! Trigger is perfect!

This is one of the most accurate guns I've ever owned, and with hand loads I can consistently get 1/2 -3/4 moa out of it. I bought this gun for long range precision shooting. And while I don't have 1000+ yard ranges to shoot at near me, this gun can hit steel out to 500-600 yards all day with ease. The bolt isn't as smooth as some other guns I own, but it does not effect the feeding of it as I have yet to have a hang up yet with the factory mag or any after market mag I've used. The chassis is very comfortable and nice to shoot, though I did not like the feel of the factory buttstock and quickly changed it out for a luthAR adjustable stock instead. But after the stock change I have no complaints with this gun

Amazing gun! Very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot! I recommend putting this firearm in ur gun safe!

Love this rifle! Very accurate! Allow a few of my friends to shoot & the have the same opinion. Highly recommend!

First online firearm purchase for me. I was very nervous as to how things would go. To my surprise everything went as they said it would. I have heard many great thing about buds, now I know why. Couldn’t have been easier. Very happy customer here.

Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to fire my Stealth because of delays in shipping with my optics. No fault of Bud's or the weapon. However, When I took my Stealth to a gunsmith to mount the optics, he informed me that the weapon had been used with no less than 50 rounds put through it by a left handed shooter (I'm right handed). He knew this because of the wear marks on the trigger safety, filthy bolt and bore and miss matching screws on the scope rail. I spoke with James R. through the 'chat now' feature and he hid behind the policy that after the transfer, there was nothing he could do. It was my responsibility to check the gun out before the transfer was complete. Bottom line, check every single inch of your "New" weapon before signing the transfer.

Savage makes great rifles. This rifle is one of my favorites.

Out of the box this is a super accurate rifle.

So far very happy with this!! Only put 40 rounds of the cheapest magtech and S&B I could find. After sighting it In at only 75 yards so I could see where my shots landed, put 7 rounds into one hole less than half an inch. If I can add pics will show you my grouping. Couldn't believe how accurate it is, literally thought the scope was wiggling or something and not even hitting my target cause it was going straight threw the first hole. Can't wait to go out further with the match ammo I have. It seems sturdy, smooth cycling of the bolt, it came with a ten round mag not 5 as stated so that's a plus. If I had to find a complaint would be it's an little heavy around 11 pounds scoped but expected it, and not to fond of the stock. But first gun purchase from buds have bought ammo before and all around happy.

Well made very accurate shooter out the box. Not necessary to spend a lot of money on mods to get it to shoot. The chassis is rigid and strong, trigger very smooth and stock adjustable. Choice of optic depending on how far you want to shoot, many people only have a range up to 300 yards to their disposal so it's not necessary to purchase an expensive optic. Recoil is very minimal and ammo is cheap compared to other calibers for long range.

Love the look of the savage 6.5 Creedmoor. Great entry level long range rifle. Anything under $900 is a steal. Paid by electronic check for cash discount and it was held for the full 5 business days. Once payment went thru it was shipped and received the next day. Thank you Buds for making this effortless!!!

Very nice rifle at a great price, hands down the lowest price I could find. Shipping was incredibly fast and service was great. Questions asked were answered and product delivered was superior. Would recommend!

Buds Gun Shop delivered fast as expected to my FFL.
My first Savage rifle, so did not know what to expect. Based on the reviews on the 10BA Stealth, I decided to jump in the 6.5 creedmoor game. Most of my shooting is with 300 Win Mag and 308 Win. All I can say is WOW. This rifle will not disappoint you! worked up some loads and after barrel seasoning and shot ,633 at 100 yards in 100 deg weather. Looking forward to taking it out to 1000 yards in the next 2 weeks. Thank you Savage and Buds Gun Shop!!!

Awesome rifle, awesome price!

I took my 10BA stealth to the range for the first time this past week after owning for quite some time. It is an absolute tack driver. I am not a precision marksman, but was able to hit a quarter sized group at 100 yards after zeroing. The trigger was nice. No significant complaints. The one area that I feel could be improved falls on the the buttstock. It is mediocre. Everything else however is fantastic. Easily worth more than the asking price.

Great Rifle Wanted to get into long range shooting, but not mortgage the family home. Gets nice tight groups good for the range. kind of heave to lug around in the woods for hunting

I purchased the gun as a first time foray into longer range shooting. I am not new to shooting, but I am to long range shooting. I've only put a box through it, but I am impressed so far. Recoil is far less than I expected, a function I think of the weight and the ergonomics. The gun mounts and points well. The bolt is smooth and easy to cycle. Accuracy is excellent. My opinion is at this price point it is a very good buy. Especially from Buds.

I like everything about this rifle so far. Another smooth transaction from Budsgunshop.com

Quick easy purchase, fast shipping took only 7 days to receive and best prices anywhere. Will be buying more thank U!!!!!

Incredibly accurate rifle, the fit and finish is wonderful. Buds rocks!

Solid gun. 2 things off the bat to consider. One. The rail is 0 MOA. So. Ranging 1000 is your limit in large part Two rear bags on the standard AR butt stalk is somewhat tough to manipulate/maintain. Not a deal breaker. Still shooting a fair group but things to consider

I personally love this gun.Besides its great looks it is one of the most fun guns I have ever shot. The only down side i have with the rifle is it magazine. There is not an actual 6.5 mag but you can buy magpul 7.62 AC AICS Short Action mags that'll fit just the same.

Went back and forth between the stealth and rpr for a while. I like the look and feel of the stealth as well as the fact that you can buy a mid level scope with the $ saved versus the rpr. I've only got 20 rounds of factory match ammo though it, but my last 4 rounds fit under a quarter....and I'm not some great marksman by any means. The magazine feels cheap with some play in it, but it feeds fine. I feel I got my money's worth of rifle. Wish it came with 20 moa rail instead of 0 moa.

Very pleased overall with the value and quality of the firearm. The action is a little tight, but I'm certain that will improve with use. The adjustments on the stock work well. I'm 6' tall and the stock all the way extended is too tall and all the way retracted is too short so somewhere in the middle is where I will end up. The cheek riser gets me where I need to be as well. The trigger is very nice from the factory. I could probably take a little of the effort out eventually, but I will put some rounds through it before I make that adjustment. I was trying to order a muzzle brake for it while I was waiting for the funds to clear Bud's for the amazing cash discount and couldn't find the spec on external barrel diameter at the shoulder of the threads so I knew what OD brake to purchase. Thread info is everywhere. The answer for those wondering is .75". The advise I got from the forum was to call the customer service line. Let me say that the customer service phone people would like to be less than helpful. I'm in the central time zone and called at 4:00 P.M. and it was already shut down. I tried the next morning at 9 AM. I asked the dude on the line for the dimension on the barrel and he gave me thread count. I asked him for the dimension just down barrel where the threads stopped and explained why I wanted it. He said, we don't list that dimension you would have to measure that on the gun. I told him I don't have the gun yet for the 2nd time, I'm trying to purchase an accessory to arrive when the gun does. There is dead silence while I wait on him to process this information. I let it stretch out to 15 seconds and it was clear he had either given up or fully understood and didn't want to do it. So I just asked if he would please go measure one for me. He said a gunsmith would have to do that. I again let the silence go for about 7 seconds this time and I finally broke it with could you ask them to take that measurement please. He says hold on and he's gone off line for about 15 seconds and says the gunsmith is on break. Like there is only one of them working in the Savage Arms company capable of working a set of calipers. I asked how long this poor overworked person would be on break and if they had a direct line I could call. He just said he would leave a message to have him call me. I'm dubious but I go along with it. Sure enough 4:15 PM He calls me back with the measurement. (Note it's after I can't get an answer when I call). I'm certain if I had let the service rep control things I wouldn't have gotten the info. Great rifle, great value Savage. Improve you customer service experience from the crazy two line/two time/two number infrastructure to the attitude of the reps to the info the reps have at their disposal. Minor effort that will pay dividends on your reputation.
