sorry cell phone pics, but the finish is awesome, grip is nice - now my 6GT archimedes barrelled action gets back it has a home. Solidly built, the levle is a nice touch .... i bought the steel bag rest and NV bridge but not here yet - love to get some weights. I have the JP, the MDT ACC, MPA Matrix -- all nice, this is different but also nice --- built quality is solid - love the ease of adjustability

First one to the game and you iPotato us bruh?
 
Pretty good pics for a flip phone.

Just kidding bro. Thanks for posting something. The grip looks very interesting. I can't wait to get mine early next week. Assuming a Coronavirus blow up doesn't happen and UPS can find my place.
 
Looks like you guys on the preorder are getting a really good deal. My card is in the corner whimpering right now, or I would get one on order. A Xylo, an Archimedes, and a 6GT would be nice.
The xylo people are getting is vastly more refined than the xylo they put their deposit down on.
I 100% wish I had gotten on that preorder.

You mean like how they are on the previous page?
CHIT!! Of course it could not have been on the last page, I’ve had this thread on watch for awhile and thought it had gone dead, I had just tried to put it outa my mind, kinda like buying a suppressor. Well they took my payment. I still won’t believe it til I see it. My .22 creed barrel came in a couple of days ago, might be some kind of omen or something. Now if it would start raining Razors or Atacrs or Leicas, even just sprinkling would be fine. Thank’s Spife
 
Looking nice! Initial impressions?
This is my first precision rifle and I haven’t shot it yet, but here goes.
The rifle turned out bigger than I expected. MTU profile 26”barrel with a 9” can turned out to be pretty Big and long. The finish of the chassis seems really nice; no glaring imperfections and no sharp edges. The anodizing looks pristine. The walnut grip could use a bit of finishing but I think it was intensionally made this way so the user could finish it.
The most annoying thing aesthetically is the wear mark on the bolt handle which is apparently normal. I also kind of wish I would have gone with a shouldered barrel.
Functionally, I wish there was a monopod or an easy way to mount one. I think Ted could design a really cool one that sandwiches between the recoil pad and chassis (fingers crossed). Overall, I’m impressed with it and Happy I preordered.

That's a good Idea and I'll probably end up doing something like that. But something more highly engineered would be nice. Something with longer travel like the monopod on the DesertTech SRS would be awesome.
I don't think many people who shoot precision rifles want monopods on their rifles. I have a hard enough time not tensing up and causing my shoulder to be a pivot point, I certainly don't want to add another one into the mix.
