The Savage 110 KLYM 6.5 PRC 24″ Carbon Fiber Bolt Rifle is a lightweight precision hunting rifle that shaves weight without cutting corners on accuracy. It pairs a PROOF Research carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with an FBT carbon fiber stock, keeping the rig under 6.5 lbs for long backcountry treks. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, this right-hand bolt gun comes with a threaded 5/8×24 muzzle, adjustable AccuTrigger, and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail ready for glass. It ships with a 2+1 detachable box magazine. According to Savage specs, the 110 KLYM is one of the lightest production rifles in its class, making it a solid choice for mountain hunters who need to cover ground fast.

Key Features
- PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel: This 24-inch barrel is wrapped in carbon fiber, which cuts weight by about 40% compared to a steel barrel of the same contour, so you can carry it all day without feeling like you’re hauling a boat anchor.
- FBT carbon fiber stock: The stock is a full-bedded carbon fiber design that keeps the rifle stable and rigid, meaning better consistency shot after shot, especially when you’re shooting from a pack or a rock.
- Adjustable AccuTrigger: You can dial the trigger pull from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without any tools, so you get a crisp break that matches your preference—great for cold fingers on a late-season hunt.
- Threaded 5/8×24 muzzle: Threaded from the factory, so you can screw on a suppressor or brake without sending it to a gunsmith. It comes with a thread protector, too.
- 20 MOA Picatinny rail: The one-piece rail is already installed, giving you enough elevation to reach out past 600 yards with most scopes. No need to buy a separate base.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and wants a lightweight rifle that still shoots sub-MOA. It’s also a solid pick for the recreational shooter who likes the 6.5 PRC’s flat trajectory and wants a factory gun that’s ready for a suppressor. First-time buyers should note that the 6.5 PRC has more recoil than a .243 but less than a .300 Win Mag, so it’s manageable with a brake or can.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Incredibly light (under 6.5 lbs), PROOF barrel is proven accurate, AccuTrigger is user-adjustable, comes with a 20 MOA rail, threaded muzzle for suppressors.
Cons: The 2+1 magazine capacity is low for a range gun—you’ll be reloading a lot if you’re plinking. Also, the carbon fiber stock doesn’t have an adjustable cheek riser, so tall shooters might need a cheek pad.

The Zev and Geissele are both AR-15s, so they’re more for tactical or competition use, not long-range hunting. The KLYM is the only one built for precision at distance in a lightweight package.
