So glad to hear about interest in the NYX Rifle! This rifle is the culmination of the best action, barrel, and chassis for the application. The Atlas Tactical has been proven for many years in the field now as one of the most reliable actions around. It can be packed with dirt and still run, when others won't. The Krieger barrel we use is a Heavy Palma with an .870" diameter muzzle for rigidity and balance. The XLR Carbon Chassis is one of the best fit chassis' we have seen, we don't have any issues with inlets or quality. The 360 degree handguard makes it great for barricade shooting and being able to place your hand on top of the handguard without touching the barrel and skewing the barrel point of impact. The handguard is also an M-Lok handguard allowing for many attachments like picatinny rails, ARCA rails, barricade stops, and quick detach sling swivels. We also have setups that allow for NVG setups for LEO/MIL applications. The added cost of the NYX at $3300 is due to having the Bix N Andy TacSport trigger and the Krieger match grade barrel. We finish it all in H&M BlackNitride and that gives it a rugged finish and will give you a lifetime of service. The parts in this rifle are all built to the same quality as our world record holding F-Class rifles. The ignition of the Atlas Tactical action is the exact same as all of our top tier competition rifles. We didn't skimp on anything for this rifle. We continually test these rifles for customers and have accuracy that is under .25 MOA with factory ammo for three shots. We also back the NYX up with our Lifetime Warranty. We can't wait to hear from you and will answer any questions that you may have!
