I’ve never really cared for the Xylo’s aesthetics, but I came back to look at this twice. It quickly grew on me. For anyone into video games, it really gives me some Borderlands vibes.

Nice! What bullet are you shooting and what kind of velocity are you getting? A short 7saum keeps tempting me... I cut my 300 WM to 20" and was contemplating re barreling to a short 7saum.

I’m shooting the 180 eldm at 2805 with rl26 in a short action. It’s shooting great. I was shocked at the speeds I’m getting. I could get it to 2850 but there was some preasure signs there.

That is the most steam-punk, dystopian, Mad-Max rifle I've ever seen. Well done good sir. Phenomenally well done.

Thanks mate - it was pretty fun to put together. Thank god I was doing a roughed up scheme for myself - I literally dropped it half way through coating and just went “oh well, fits the scheme” 😂
