Curious if anyone out there has an ACC Elite in LA. I tried the ACC premier with my 300 Norma but when i got behind it, it wasn’t very stiff. Its had a lot of flex in the forend when i got behind it and put a little preload on my bipod. I could’ve bolted weights to the side to stiffen it up and perhaps a NV bridge but it was something that kinda stuck in my mind. I did get a Matrix Pro 2 CIP length and other than the minor feeding issues, its awsome for a big caliber rifle

My question, for those that run an elite Long Action, is it stiff when behind and bipod preloaded? That was my only gripe about it. Looking to try one out but im just lookin for some real world experience. Im sure short actions would have the same feel but i plan on one for a 338 Lapua/300 Norma. Thanks

My teammate and both ran them for a top 10 finish at the Nightforce elr match. 28lb 338 Lapuas with 31" barrels and Tbac 338 Ultra cans hanging off them. We both typically run MPA but wanted to try something new.
We didn't notice any issues with rigidity however I am running a one piece full length internal weight and my teammate runs his with two NV bridges.
We both had issues with the action moving in the chassis and had to bed them but otherwise we have both enjoyed the chassis.
While the chassis performed fine for us if I was spending that money again it would likely be on a MPA. The fit and finish is far superior IMO.

Edit: I should mention we were single feeding so I have no experience feed from a mag in the chassis.

On the ACC Elite, we increased the thickness of the forend and integrated the end cap for increased rigidity/stiffness. You will also notice a decrease in torsional twist in the forend.

We also offer a 30-day return policy for you to try it out, and if you are not satisfied, you can return it back to us for a refund.

I’ve actually just shot a friends 375 CT in a Cadex and I was impressed with it. He’s actually the biggest chassis hater I know and now he’s all about his Cadex. They’re all great chassis, MDT, MPA, Cadex etc. It all boils down to personal preference and feel. Im only asking about the MDT Elite because it’s the only one I haven’t personally had the chance to play with yet.

All good replies and helpful so thanks
