- Thread starter XLR

What is the current wait time? I am due back to the states from my deployment in several months so forecasting a delay would be great information to have.
Cannot wait to grab one

I should get my chassis today and my new Timney trigger tomorrow sighting it all in this weekend.
Have to say I'm jealous... still waiting patiently here. Plenty of brass to load up in the mean time.
Hello, my first post here. I joined up just because of this thread. I had my local gun customizer guy (Metal EFX in Midland, TX) order me up one of these at the beginning of April. Anxiously awaiting its arrival. It will be the first Element chassis to my knowledge out here in West Texas and we are looking forward to doing a build with it, including custom Cerakote work.
XLR will have these for Savage in a few short months. Just specify side or bottom bolt release and they can do it up. Let me know if you are interested or Kyle will set you up!!!
Got my UPS Shipping Confirmation today... and my Scope,Base,Rings,trigger are coming from SWFA the day before!!!
Kyle, any idea what that rem 700 SPS in the element chassis with the vortex scopes weight is all dressed up like that? Im guessing around 11lbs but im not sure. Ill be calling you soon, this is the chassis I was waiting for! Thanks.
Still looking at end of year for Savage configuration?? Taking any pre orders for the Savages??
What's the barrel length?
I've had my new Element running a Defiance Deviant 260 for about a month now. I cannot express how happy I am to have made the switch from a Mcrees over to XLR. I believe I ditched approx 1.4-1.6 lbs & slimmed down the overall profile of the chassis/barrel/optic by about .5". Shot a match two weekends ago and for the FIRST TIME, I didn't have any issues fitting the rifle through all the ports in a shoot-house stage. This was a problem from day 1 with the Mcrees (not going to knock the Mcrees as it is an excellent Chassis, just too heavy and bulky for my application currently).
Big thanks for Kyle and the XLR guys for great pre-purchase Q&A in person at a match and via phone. Great product guys!

Picked one of these up yesterday, It was sitting at a local shop that they got on a trade. Got deal on it! This thing rocks!
Really? A trade already? This thing has only been out like 3 weeks...

Ya blew my mind too, not sure why someone what trade this chassis for a barrel blank. Oh well, its in my shop now! Building a 6.5cm around it.
Is a howa 1500 sa a 700 clone? If it fits I found my new chassis!

A Howa 1500 requires a different inlet. XLR inlets the Evolution chassis for the Howa, but not the Element.
I might have to hit the local shop and make a trade for a 700 gonna get new barrel for build anyhow this is sick!

Looks like it will be available for the Savage and Tikka later this year also.
Not a good reason but I don't like the look of savage action it's dumb but hey gotta like what your gonna pay for. No experience with a tikka but the savage I shot in 308 was good shooting but thought the stock was pure junk..............until later this year lol

In everyone's experience what's best accuracy wise. I know good work is good results but easiest action for a smith to fine tune

first 10 rounds through the new barrel 
Question from a neophyte: is there any reason to go with the evolution, given the advent of the element? Is there anything specifically beneficial from the tube or the attachment system? So far it seems like all the evolution brings me is the need to hack on my scope rail.

More forend length giving ability to get bipod closer to muzzle seems like one advantage depending on how long your barrel is.
I can barely wait for mine I am so excited I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas. I'm waiting on a remington 700 long action.
Kyle has been exceedingly helpful both on the phone and via email. Super nice guy any very knowledgeable.

Also helps with breaking up mirage off the barrel...though the hand guard can generate some as well when it gets warm enough...
I'm still torn between the Element and the Evolution. Is the forend on the Element as long as your regular stock, or is it shorter?

If you already have base and rings, just keep in mind you may need higher rings and the base will need to be cut down likely depending on your style. This is with the Evo.

Just spoke with Kyle. Very nice guy. He confirmed the forend is 10 inches. I placed an order for the Element.

I'm jealous. Kyle said 1.5 to 2 weeks. What was your wait?

Good to know. I can't wait. Please post pics when you get it all set up.

Ups came no longer then 15 min ago. I put this scope on for appearance sake, as my vortex will not be back until Thursday.
Damn that looks good. It looks like it's impossible to be uncomfortable behind one once you get it all set up. Thanks for the pics.

I called and ordered an Element from Kyle today for a 591 barreled action. I've seen these on the prize table at the last couple of matches I've shot. I actually passed one up on the table at a match back in March. I wish I would have got it instead of the optics I picked up.
I'm very much a Rock Solid Stocks fan, I have 3, but I need a butt pad that has vertical adjustment. Now that low scope rings aren't an issue with the Element, I thought I'd give one a try.
By the way, Kyle has been present and participated in the last 3 PRS matches I've shot in. He's also donated atleast 2 or more stocks at everyone of these matches for the prize table. He does his part to support us and our sport.
Thanks,
