Why Choose XLR Savage Chassis Systems?

XLR Savage Chassis Systems have been making a buzz in the shooting world for a while now. Many seasoned shooters and novices are asking if it’s worth upgrading their Savage rifles with these chassis systems. If you are among them, then here are some reasons that might convince you to take the leap:

Materials and Craftsmanship

XLR’s Savage chassis systems are precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and magnesium – materials renowned for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This ensures a robust yet lightweight platform, ideal for hunters looking to modernize their precision rifle and for competition shooters requiring a podium-performing system. The high-quality craftsmanship not only reduces weight but also maintains rigidity for consistent accuracy in every shot.

Ease of Installation

With the XLR Chassis System, the installation process is seamless. Simply drop in a barreled Savage action into the new chassis, torque the provided action screws to 65 INCH Pounds, and you're ready to go. No gunsmithing or special tools are required. This user-friendly installation lets you quickly and efficiently transition from the workshop to the range. Don’t forget, all XLR Savage chassis accept AICS magazines – so grab your 5 or 10-round AICS mag and you’re all set!

Customization and Versatility

Whether you desire an ultralight hunting rifle, a highly competitive match rifle, or an impressive showpiece, XLR’s chassis systems offer a range of customization options. Features such as adjustable length of pull, various cheek riser positions, and multiple attachment points for accessories give you the ability to tailor your rifle to your specific needs. The chassis design includes integrated ARCA rails and plenty of M-LOK slots along the forend, allowing you to mount bipods, sling mounts, and other accessories with ease. Due to the rifle chassis being so modular, you can change precision components at any time for different applications or keep it updated with newly released products.

Compatibility

XLR Savage Chassis Systems are offered for both short-action and long-action Savage rifles, catering to a wide array of calibers and models. Both Savage short action and long action inlets will accept top and bottom bolt release models, making our chassis a versatile option for those looking to enhance multiple rifles in their collection. For example, the Element 4.0 (aluminum) and Element 4.0 Magnesium chassis each accommodate Savage short and long actions – effectively serving as a solution whether you need a Savage 110 long action chassis for a .30-06 or a Savage 110 short action chassis for a .308 110-series rifle. In contrast, the ENVY Pro chassis is designed around Savage short action receivers only, perfect if you’re focusing on a short-action build.
Savage Models Supported by XLR Chassis: To make it easy, here’s a list of Savage rifle models that our XLR chassis systems support, spanning both action lengths and popular series:

Savage Short Action models: 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 (Top & bottom bolt release capable) – these correspond to our [savage short action chassis] inlet.
Savage Long Action models: 110, 111, 112, 114, 116 (Top & bottom bolt release) – perfect for a [chassis for Savage 110 long action] rifles or other long-action calibers.

Unsure if your Savage is long or short action? In past years, Savage models 10–16 are short actions and 110–116 are long actions (the difference usually comes down to the cartridge length). Savage’s official blog even has a post explaining “Long Action vs Short Action” in their model line. As of recently, Savage no longer follows the old nomenclature where a 10 would be a short and a 110 would be a long action. Therefore, it is more dependent on the rifle's chambering rather than its model number. Rest assured, whichever it is, XLR has a chassis to fit. For owners of the popular Model 110 in particular, our offerings cover both ends of the spectrum – we provide a true [Savage 110 chassis long action] solution for the big calibers and equally support the Model 110 in short-action calibers with short-action inlets. In other words, if you’re searching for a quality [chassis for Savage 110 long action] rifle or a precision setup for a 110-series short action, XLR has you covered.

*Disclaimer: Savage Axis and Impulse models do not fit in these inlets and are not offered as an option at this time.

Durability

Built for resilience, XLR chassis systems are designed to withstand the harshest conditions and any abuse a shooter could put them through. Whether you’re hunting in inclement weather, sliding down a rocky scree chute, or maneuvering your PRS rifle through different barricades, you can rest assured that your XLR chassis system will endure it. The rugged construction and premium finish protect against the elements, so your chassis won’t warp or fail when it matters most.

Ergonomics

Ergonomically designed, XLR chassis systems enhance shooter comfort and control. The contoured grip area and well-placed controls ensure that you can maintain a stable shooting position, even during extended shooting sessions. Adjustable buttstocks, such as our TR-2 or C-6, allow you to set the perfect length of pull, recoil pad height, and cheek rest height for your specific build. This means every time you shoulder your rifle, you get a repeatable alignment and comfort, which translates to better focus and accuracy down range.

How do we achieve a drop in compatible chassis?

XLR chassis systems feature a multi-point radial cut inlet that mirrors your Savage receiver, creating a perfect chassis-to-action union. This inlet method eliminates any external stresses commonly found in traditional or v-block stocks. Using this inlet style has proven to increase accuracy and repeatability beyond tradition inletting methods. Mounting your Savage short or long action into an XLR chassis only requires a torque wrench and few minutes of your time. The result is a secure fit that maintains zero and consistent accuracy even after you’ve disassembled and reassembled the action.
