I just ordered a couple elements. I'll be running them on both my match rifles! And excited to do so. It's a lightweight chassis at a great price!
Anybody have an Element that also uses (or previously used) a McMillan A5?
Currently have two A5s and am thinking of trying an Element, but admittedly the ergonomic difference has me on the fence - I know "fit" is subjective but I'm curious to read first-hand reports.

just ordered an element today! $553 shipped! cant wait to get it. should do my Remington 700 lt 308 some good! ill post pictures once she gets here
Received my Element last week. Had time on Friday to drop my barreled action from LRI into the gun (just got it back from full group buy treatment). Both stock and barreled action performed great. The stock is truly very comfortable and pretty darn light. I'm very impressed.

What are your thoughts on using this chassis for hunting too? I don't have the budget for two rifles, so I have to balance my needs...
I don't have a problem with the weight, but what about the handling, holding the front end and such?

That is a great lookin chassis - two questions -
1. Can the buttstock be used on an AR platform with a rifle buffer tube
2. How do you keep the stock/tube from rotating at the receiver?

I run an Element now and have had and used an A5/A3-5 for years including on my work gun. PM me and I'll give you a call to talk more about it.
Thanks
Yes, our butt stocks can be used on an AR. However, they can NOT be used with a rifle length buffer tube. Our buffer tubes have a proprietary OD and are included with all our butt stocks. They have a 7" internal length so they would require a carbine length buffer and buffer spring. When used on an AR you would use the stamped steel anti-rotation plate that most common M4 style stocks use. Please note that when you use our butt stocks on an AR the cheek rest at is lowest setting is .7" above the top of the buffer tube.
Thanks, Kyle ~ XLR

1. Yes
2. Lock nut and Allan screw underneath.
PM me if interested.
Just got an Element chassis last week. Very impressed! Wonderful customer service in ordering and it was sent immediately. Perfect drop in fit. Couldn't be happier!
Everyone who has put hands on these new Elements are very please! Solid work XLR!
Mine will be delivered today... I may or may not have cancelled afternoon plans so that I'm home when the UPS guy shows up. I can't wait.
I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to BGE541 for his help in acquiring my three elements. He has been an awesome dealer to work with and I couldn't be happier. Contact him with all of you XLR needs and he will GLADLY help you out. Awesome dealer!
Goodbye RockSolid. Hello XLR.
It's all about customer service.
After a long drive up and back I've got them home. Again a huge thank you to stabolprecisionllc.com for hooking me up with them, you won't find a better person to buy them from then Reed. Give him a ring for any/all XLR needs and he will get you setup right.
XLR should be proud to have a dealer that supports the brand so well.
Looking forward to giving these a run.

Kyle your the man! Can't wait for to get one!
Can you expand on the bolt stop modification for 223 savage actions? What I am picturing is the stop on the bolt body that shortens the bolt throw? Im guessing the AI mag requires a 308 bolt stop that is shorter and allows the bolt to come back further?

That's exactly right - to run AICS 223 magazines in a Savage action, you need a standard length (308) bolt baffle. You could replace an extended baffle with a short one - or simply trim off the extended part.
I'm not a full member yet so can't post a sale thread. I hope it's ok to post here, just in case anyone is interested for a used Element w/ folding TacLite for a Remy 700SA. Email me for pix.
Got a 308 bolt baffle enroute from Brownells.

Thanks guys. Yes, that is correct. The .223 does require a shorter bolt baffle as Savage puts an extended stop on the 223 bolt baffle to limit bolt throw. Since the AI 223 magazines are longer than the factory 223 internal magazine you will switch it with a 308/300WM/WSM bolt baffle.
