I searched for pictures of this exact setup when I was looking at buying it... couldn't find any so I thought id post some here... just in case anyone else is interested in it.
Bought chassis and the stock on the black friday "blemished" sale... I can't find a single blemish on the stock or chassis. Total cost with 2 10 round mags was $575 taxes and shipping included.
The gun started as a Savage 10PC in .223. Installation was as easy as removing the stock from the savage (leaving the action bolts IN the savage stock, you don't need them) then dropping it into the LSS chassis. Literally took 5 minutes. New action bolts were supplied with the LSS chassis.
The Skeleton light stock mounts to the chassis with ONE bolt. Its solid and took another 5 minutes tops to mount it. Honestly, the hardest part of the whole deal was re-mounting my bipod... which wasn't hard at all obviously.
Final package is really nice. Its not as light as id expected, but not overly heavy. Looks cool for sure and, most importantly, its EXTREMELY comfortable. The stock is adjustable for LOP and cheek weld height. It has small push buttons for adjustment. There wasn't a single issue installing the action or stock, no fitting, not fiddling to get it to go together.
The ONLY downside to this setup, as many have suspected, is that the 10PC in .223 has the bolt release in front of the trigger guard. When I bought this stock I read that they had made it compatible with this type of release but there was almost no info on it and no pictures of what the fix looked like. After doing the install I can say MDT isnt lying. You can absolutely remove your bolt if you had a bolt bolt release gun to start with. In one of the pics I show the cut out in the side of the chassis. You just stick a tool of some kind in there and pull the release bar back. Its easy but, it seems to me it would have been a fairly easy undertaking to develop some sort of slide lever on the chassis to operate this with no tools. I may still look into making one myself. IMO, that would make this chassis an absolute NO downside choice for SA savage owners.
Now, on to the pics:
