Went ahead and dipped it right off the bat. Hopefully its going to be a keeper

Nice job on the stock Brent! Looks good and shoots good too

I have one in 6.5 PRC that's the first gun I've ever had to shoot sub-quarter MOA...156 EOL's and H1000. My PRC weighs 6 lbs 7 oz, though...was kinda disappointed with that after the marketing hype.

Let us know how it goes. I'm on the fence between 6.5 prc and 280ai for one of these

If you go for the 280 don't get a short barrel version. 24" minimum, just my 2cents.

Looking into buying a new Savage ultralight 110 in 6.5cm. Anyone running one on here?here? few reviews on YouTube but not much that I can find on the accuracy. I would expect a blueprinted action with a proof barrel to be able to print 1/2-3/8moa groups fairly easy with a good load

Have a look here. https://www.shawcustombarrels.com
They have affordable custom built rifles that are based on, E.R. Shaw Barrels and Savage actions
I have ordered a MK X.
I think I saved money going this route.
By the time you figure all the extra little stuff you have to do to get one to really shoot.....IMO,
This is the ticket.

Yea they fibbed on the weight. Mine weighs just over 6lb as well.

Did you do anything to the stock bedding or just mount and shoot?

I don't have an ultralite but I have a few savages in Tupperware stocks. I suggest bedding the recoil lug and shooting them. Mine have all shot exceptional with just doing that. All you'll do adding a different stock is add additional weight. I will be getting an ultralite in a PRC once I can find the brass. I typically buy reloading components of any cartridge I plan to shoot before I buy the barrel/gun.

Out of curiosity what steps did you follow on the barrel break in? Just mount and scope and shoot it or shoot-clean and repeat for X amount of times

I ran a patch with hoppies through it a couple of times, then until it was squeaky dry and shot it.

Haven't done anything to the stock yet.

The 28 nosler and 280 ai that I have loaded for where both accurate, however that was the slowest 280 ai I have ever seen. Tried powders from rl16 to h1000 and everything inbetween. 210s and 215 primers. Settled on 160 tmk going around 2850 FPS. My buddy loves his rifle but I couldn't justify that kinda speed from a 280 ai if it was mine.

1894C, did you happen to try RL 22 or RL 23 in the 280 AI? Maybe I have an exception but I'm getting just over 3K with RL23, 162 ELDX's, I think 60.5 gr with Fed GM215's and hornady brass, I have some peterson brass i am getting ready to work up for it now that season is coming to a close, the hornady brass is only getting 3 loads max before primer pockets go....

Well they look nice however 7.5-8.5lb's and don't have carbon proof barrel's so they really are apples to oranges to compare. Looks like maybe harder to swap barrels on and for me the proof carbon barrel is a big part of the deal. This thread is about the savage ultralight, and from what I'm seeing posted they shoot real well out of the box........

Ya I kinda wondered how they could make a 5.85 lb rifle. Even with the shorter proof barrel and a little lighter contour, that's real light. Are those weights with the magazine in empty ? Maybe they didn't include the magazine in their advertised weights.

Hey no problem, they are good looking guns, seem to have a hybrid savage action.
