Got my XLR! Kyle is awsome

[Wintermute]

Got my XLR chassis in for the Tikka T3. Have to get this thing packed up and sent off to Chad at Precision Long Rifles to have the CADPAT done as soon as my atlas shows up. After that it's just a scope and ready to go to the range.

Nice looking rifle, I've been debating either this chassis or a KRG

Looks good! What scope you going with?

I went with the KRG.

Very nice setup. That bolt looks very familiar! Sure looks like fun.

Regards, Paul.

Re: Got my XLR! Kyle is awsome

Still trying to decide between the following scopes:

Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50mm M5 with locking adjustment
SWFA SS 5-20 30mm with illuminated reticle
Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 mil/mil

Still a possibility to find something I like in the for sale section here on SH as well

Wintermute,

About 50 or so. Thanks for leading the charge.

I went with the EBR-3 Razor. Hard to argue with its performance and warranty.

That looks great! I like how the Tikka action curves down to meet the chassis on the left side...super trick looking.
And yes, I agree, Kyle is a great person to do business with.

Re: Got my XLR! Kyle is awsome

Ohh, one thing I did want to note here is that with the XLR Chassis and the NEAR scope base, the scope base and the chassis will interfere with each other. I had to mill about 0.2 inches off the front of the scope base in order to clear the front block on the chassis. Relatively straight forward operation if you have your own milling machine handy, but for everyone who doesn't (probably the majority of folks), you will need to have the scope base milled in order to install it. I can take pictures of what I milled off of mine if people are interested.

Most scope bases will need to be shortened. Kyle does it for you if you send it in.

oh man, that color is just throwing it off for me!!!

I've been wanting one myself... but then again. my B&C has been just fne

Re: Got my XLR! Kyle is awsome

Kyle is excellent to deal with, and will shorten your scope base for free with a quick turnaround time. I didn't opt for the folding option. How do you like it? Does it lock up solidly or have some play?

Locks up very solid...extremely glad I did opt for it as it makes the rifle much easier to haul around

They have some play, but nothing real bad.
