Thanks for the kind words fellas and for your orders.
Just a heads up, intro pricing will be ending on 30April so if you would like a chassis, now is the time to get on the wait list. The wait is pretty short at this point, likely under a month for either version in black.
Thank you,
Justin
Since I am still 2-4 weeks from getting my email, here's where my thoughts have gone:
To spigot, or not to spigot?
Other than the obvious stuff on the KRG website, can anyone give me some pros and cons to the spigot?
I have the spigot so I can have a NV mounting option and use the flush cups. I also like the bipod to be as far forward as possible but I recently repainted my action/barrel and took it off. It is a bit lighter without the spigot, still just as sturdy but you lose the mounting point options. The spigot is short money and mounts in 5 min so if you don't like it I am sure you can flip to for what you paid but I love mine and its going back on.

I was hoping you'd reply. How easy is it to install a Harris? I'd hope it's just a matter of moving the stud from the stock to the spigot and attaching the bipod.
I attached two photos of the top and bottom view, so as you can see very easy.

I have now answered the question of the X-Ray durability. Over the last few months I have been putting it into heavy use, not line up on the range in the prone, I'm talking using it for training and call outs. We had a call out today for a barricade suspect in a 2nd floor complex. Without getting too deep I was forced to climb the SWAT ladder to get onto the top floor of the adjacent store. On the way up the team member holding the ladder (climbing 101- YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE A TEAM MEMBER SECURE THE LADDER BECAUSE THE SKINNY POS WILL SLIP!!) well he decided to poke around the corner when I was 1/2 way up, or about 12'. Of course the ladder slipped and I had to do my best spider drop but landed on my Gunslinger II with KRG in the saddle. I landed pack first directly on the rifle in such a way that it was at a barrel down angle putting a ton of stress in the but stock area. I weigh 180 pounds, no gear, throw on body armor, vest, kit etc. I am more like 220, so 220 pounds from 12-15' onto the back 1/3 or the stock.
Bottom line, ZERO damage to the stock. Not even a blip! The scope handled the drop as well so the March is now drop tested as well. I do not recommend conducting similar testing, as it is a bit painful, but this stock is GTG IMHO for any tactical application.

Maybe I am just being dense today - it's been a long day at work. I'm assuming one or more of the smaller holes support the install of a standard sling stud for the Harris to clamp to? Mine isn't a picatinny-mounting model.
OUCH. Glad the stock, glass, and yourself survived the incident.
What's the current lead times on this? Don't care about color...
I requested to be on the BO list a couple days ago. I was told 1 to 1.5 months.
My X-ray arrived today and the Timney 510 trigger arrives tomorrow. I can't wait to drop my Remington with new trigger into a chassis. Any tips from those that have already done this? This is my first time upgrading a rifle, so any advice would be welcome.
Same here! I wish I had the intestinal fortitude to assemble it and use it for my match tomorrow, but I don't..... I'll install it next week. I can't wait!Thanks KRG for the tracking info!
Wow. Glad you're okay!Bottom line, ZERO damage to the stock. Not even a blip! The scope handled the drop as well so the March is now drop tested as well. I do not recommend conducting similar testing, as it is a bit painful, but this stock is GTG IMHO for any tactical application.

Has anybody done a extensive review on the x-ray yet Im on the fence to buy the X-ray or spend extra money for the whiskey 3
Sully, how would you compare the X-Ray to the AICS? I'm thinking of switching and your profpic shows an AICS and you seem pretty dang happy with the X-Ray. I will say, I'm happy with my AICS, but I really like the thumb ramp on the X-Ray/W3 and I've heard the ergonomics are fantastic. Your thoughts are appreciated sir!
Thanks sully would you spend the extra for the whiskey 3 or go with the X-ray?
For me the X-Ray is perfect; however, if I wanted a folder with more side mounting options the Whiskey 3 would be choice. As stated in my reviews, the ergonomics of the X-Ray and Whiskey are hard to beat. XLR comes close and AICS a bit behind but overall my X-Ray just fits me perfectly. I have had the guys on my team behind my X-Ray and it is not 100%, some guys prefer the AICS that we normally run, one likes my XLR best but the X-Ray was either 1 or 2 of the test group. The test group was basically all our personal rifles and we just shot the crap out of each others gear one day. We had: McRees, Knoxx Axiom (with the springs removed so it didn't do the crazy follow through thing), XLR, X-Ray, JP, TAC 21 and a Eberlestock. We had some stocks there too, but for a chassis comparison out of this group the eight of us went 1-2 with the X-Ray. I have shot a Whiskey before and that is why I jumped at the X-Ray when I saw it at SHOT.

I installed a timney trigger and dropped my .308 Remington into the X-ray chassis. It went smooth had to file room to let safety work. Check it out. View attachment 36483
Huge thanks to KRG and justin I finally got my X-Ray chassis! Got it Friday and finally installed my barreled action and it truly is a drop in. I have a Remington 700 trued with a bartlien m24 contour 24" and a Timney trigger, dropped right in with no clearance issues. Feels really good and solid! Looking forward to getting out to the range.
What are you scoping it with? Love the M24 contour barrels.
Sully
Not sure yet, I have a bushnell XRS on my 6.5 creed.... Want to stay mil to mil and FFP... Need to hit some more it to get the scope. For now I am going to swapping scopes.
Happy shooting! Thanks for the question.
