Best Savage SA chassis for the money?

[GlockandRoll]

Have an old Salvalg 110 tactical with an 18" BBL and want AICS compatible mags that is an absolute tac driver that needs a new chassis.
A folding option would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

Is it a short or long action? The old 110's were long actions. I always thought the Orxy Chassis is the best value but it doesn't have a folding option.

That folding option is the only thing I wish my Oryx had. Otherwise, for the money it’s a solid option.

Yep, 3 different action screw spacings and different magazine cutouts involved. Depending what you have there may not be a compatible chassis.

Sorry, short action model 10

There's a company- Trybe Defense- that manufactures different types of gun parts (mostly AR), and has a chassis for under $300...
Sold only through Optics Planet; reviews are positive but wondering if anyone here has handled their chassis?

They're all good, best is subjective.

I had an old savage short action with a Lothar Walther barrel that I wasn't shooting. I bought an oryx chassis for it and gave it to my son for Christmas. I was very impressed with the Oryx and though their solution to the different screw spacing genius.
If I was budget limited, the oryx would be my first stop for any of the actions they inlet for.

There was an Ashbury Precision Ordinance chassis in the PX a while back I thought.
My APO Savage .308 has been great and very accurate. Trigger is the worst part.

What’s the solution? A long slot or a bunch of different holes?

A slot, not really all that long with an offset washer (for lack of a better term) it is very well made. Only one required as the tang screw placement wasn't changed.
The washer has a hole for the screw to pass through, you just flip it around depending on the spacing. The washer sits flush in the slot so the screw bottoms against a flat surface

I voted MDT 'cause I'm running my Savage 10 in an LSS-XL Gen2 and its fabulous. But I used an XLR buttstock and it's fit and finish and functionality is fabulous as well.

All of the stuff in the poll is awesome. Best is subjective as already stated.

VooDoo

I would add Oryx to the poll

And it's on sale right now for $280 with free shipping. I'm certainly going to watch some reviews on this one, thanks!

i bought MDT XRS. it is ok. in front is aluminium, at the back is only plastic.

LOP is a little short even with all the spacers, so I made some additional custom spacers.

I'm starting to think an XLR evo folder is the best option for me, even though it's not cheap.

I’ve used several on mine. Mcree, XLR, MDT, Ashbury. I also have a XLR evolution carbon on my R700

Favorite is the MDT ESS. I didn’t really care for my Ashbury chassis (takeoff from the APO model from savage). Had some play in the folding hinge when extended. And with my 56mm bell Sightron SIII the scope sat so high even with a Luth AR stock the cheek piece wouldn’t go high enough for a proper cheek weld

Id go XLR or MDT for mine if I do it again. The Evolution is nice as well. Very light

Outlier has a Savage chassis offering as well. Cool lightweight setup @ 2.5#'s.
