About this product
The Savage 110 KLYM 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Carbon Fiber is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle that pairs a lightweight PROOF Research carbon fiber-wrapped barrel with a rigid FBT carbon fiber stock for elite shooting performance during extended hunts. Its foundation is the Savage 110's factory blueprinted action, which provides inherent structural consistency, and the entire platform is finished with a corrosion-resistant Blackout Cerakote. This rifle includes a standard 20 MOA scope rail and a threaded muzzle, ready for a suppressor or other muzzle device.
What is the Savage 110 KLYM used for?
The Savage 110 KLYM is designed for high-altitude, long-distance hunting where every ounce of gear weight matters. Its 22-inch, 5/8x24 threaded barrel is optimized for shooting with a suppressor, which is crucial for reducing noise signature and felt recoil during prolonged sessions. The six-pound, four-ounce weight allows a shooter to cover miles more terrain than with a traditional eight-pound rifle without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for consistent 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics.
How does the Savage 110 KLYM compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 KLYM is engineered for a different shooter than the Stevens 334 Rifle; it's a specialized tool where the Stevens is a general-purpose utility rifle. The KLYM's carbon fiber construction translates to being approximately two pounds lighter than the 334, which directly impacts fatigue during multi-day hunts. However, the KLYM's price point is over a thousand dollars more, making the Stevens 334 better for target shooting or basic hunting where extreme weight reduction isn't a primary concern.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs six pounds and four ounces (2.83 kilograms) with an overall length of 42.5 inches from the buttstock to the tip of the muzzle brake. The free-floated barrel has a profile diameter of 0.850 inches and the stock features a 13.75-inch length of pull, which is adjustable via the one-button comb. For comparison, this makes the rifle about 30% lighter than a standard wood-stocked bolt-action rifle of similar caliber.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the first-time gun owner or someone looking for a budget-friendly plinker. It is a serious investment for a specific use case. The lightweight barrel profile heats up faster than a heavier steel barrel, which can affect point of impact during rapid-fire strings at the range. If your goal is casual target shooting or you don't routinely hunt in terrain where a 30-ounce weight saving is critical, a platform like the Stevens 334 represents a far more economical choice.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships ready for optics installation with a factory-installed, one-piece 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured to the drilled and tapped receiver. Also included is a user manual, a bolt-action lock for transport, and a standard thread protector, though the OmniPort muzzle brake is installed from the factory. The specific trigger wrenches for AccuTrigger adjustment are included, a detail often overlooked but critical for fine-tuning the 1.5- to 4-pound trigger pull.
Is the Savage 110 KLYM worth it at $2,428.99?
At this price, the Savage 110 KLYM is worth it only for the serious hunter who can leverage every technical advantage it provides. The carbon fiber barrel and stock cost roughly $800-900 more than a standard 110 model, but they deliver a tangible, measurable difference in portability. If you regularly hike above 7,000 feet or cover more than five miles in a single hunt, the investment pays off in reduced fatigue and increased stability for a crucial shot. For any other shooter, the cost-to-benefit ratio drops sharply.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6 lb 4 oz (2.83 kg) — over 1.5 lb lighter than a standard synthetic-stock 110
- Free-floated carbon fiber barrel maintains rigidity with 0.0025" centerline tolerance
- Includes 20 MOA Pic rail pre-installed for long-range optics with 100+ MOA elevation travel
Trade-offs

- Higher price point ($800+ premium) over standard Savage 110 models without carbon components
- AccuTrigger adjustment requires proprietary tool — not a standard hex key

Frequently asked questions
- Is the 5/8x24 barrel thread compatible with all .30 cal suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24-28 thread pattern is the standard for .30 caliber muzzle devices and most common suppressors like those from SilencerCo or Dead Air. The direct-thread hub or a compatible muzzle brake will interface correctly, but you must always verify your specific suppressor's thread specifications with the manufacturer to ensure proper alignment and safety.
- Can I return this rifle if I don't like the AccuTrigger pull weight?
- No, returns are not accepted for firearms that have been assembled or fired due to federal regulations and Ironclad Armory's safety policy. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds using the included wrenches. It is strongly recommended you test the trigger in a safe, controlled environment after receiving the firearm before making any permanent adjustments or modifications.
- Does this work with a standard bipod like a Harris?
- Yes, the FBT carbon fiber stock features a standard forward sling swivel stud that is compatible with most common clamp-style bipods, including all Harris models. The stock's rigidity prevents flex that can cause bipod-induced poi shift, but you should torque the bipod attachment to 35 inch-pounds to avoid marring the carbon fiber surface.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- Processing and shipping from Ironclad Armory typically takes 3-5 business days before the firearm is en route to your selected FFL dealer. The final transfer time is dependent on your local FFL's operating hours and the completion of the mandatory NICS background check, which can add 1-3 additional business days.
