Surgeon, XLR, S&B, and Short Bus

[JSF]

I had an A5 on this rifle and wanted to try a chassis. So. I contacted Kyle at XLR and ordered the XLR. I had it shipped directly to Branden(Short Bus) and had him paint the chassis in desert multi cam. I saw a pic of one that he did for Big Joe and thought it looked great. I sent Short Bus my S&B that was previously ral8000 and had him paint it fde. I really like how everything came together.

That's a very nice looking rifle! Any comments about the difference between shooting with the A5 vs XLR?

Re: Surgeon, XLR, S&B, and Short Bus

The new locking mechanism on the chassis locks up tight. There is no slop. With it folded it fits very well in the X3 lowdrag. I took it out to shoot for the first time today after getting everything put together. I am very happy with this setup. It is the most comfortable stock I have been behind. Thanks to Surgeon, XLR, and ShortBus for their outstanding products. Also, thanks to Big Joe for the inspiration for the paint scheme.

I like it better so far. I am not sure if it just the ergonomics or if I was just able to get this chassis dialed in to me better than the A5 was, but it was significantly more comfortable. I was also able to stay on target a little better. I could spot hits and misses with the A5, but it seemed this chassis did not move as much. I am sure it is a result of the adjustability of the chassis.

Hell of a set up! Looks absolutely fantastic!

Re: Surgeon, XLR, S&B, and Short Bus

Another great thing is I was able to put a PVS-24 lr on it just fine with the 5-25 S&B. Plenty of room and it worked great. So, for you guy's running NV, this chassis is a great choice.

That looks great! I've been considering getting my S&B painted. It's also ral 8000. I don't like it's color in person.

Thank You man. You do awesome work. I couldn't be happier with how this came out. If anyone is considering having something painted, Short Bus does great work.

Yes sir. Head & Country dry rub. It was tasty.

Re: Surgeon, XLR, S&B, and Short Bus

I really like the grip. I'm going to replace the one that came on my GAP-10 with the ergo. Fits my hand much better.

"New folding mechanism?"

Doesn't look like the square-type ACE mechanism that they usually come with. Is this something that you installed, or is Kyle sending these out with his stocks now. Any info is appreciated. Nice rifle by the way.

Correct, this is Kyle's design. It works great. There is absolutely zero slop.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera do you own? Those pic's are simply amazing!

 

[JSF]

Re: Surgeon, XLR, S&B, and Short Bus

It's a Nikon D600. It has more to do with the lenses. They were shot with either a Nikkor 85mm 1.4 or 70-200 2.8. I used both.
