Now if I could just figure out that damn formula Kyle posted on how to measure up for proper ring height I'd be doing good when my PST arrives!

I got lost repeatedly trying to decipher that equation! lol </div></div>

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

How does the finish hold up. I have heard the water transfer stuff does not hold up like Cerakote. I heard that from a Cerakote applicator so it was a little biased.

Seems pretty durable.....

3 weeks down , 3 more? Waiting is killing me

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Here is another reference for you guys on scope ring height.
Mine is a SA Rem, EGW 20moa base(trimed 1/2" off the front), NF 8-32x56BR scope with Burris extra high 30mm signature rings. It clears the handguard/forend about 1/16".

Just an idea for you Kyle, when you are machining the trigger guards, add your XLR logo to the bottom. These things need you name on them.

 

[rugger1330]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Wow, you guys make it hard to not buy one of these.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

It looks like a real nice product..

The only negative is the magazine dosnt have any protection from beeing bumped into something. A small guard 1" or 1.5" surronding the magazine would make me feel much better when abusing the rifle.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Do the FN/Win actions have to be modified to work in the XLR? How far does the magpul PRS stock hang down on the back of the stock?

 

[btyeung]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

OK So now that I have a few competitions done with this rig, I'll say that the reason why I still prefer this chassis is because it's very forgiving to shoot. In weird positions including standard ones standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone bagged, it's not hold sensitive at all.

The rifle was tossed all around the place, just in the matches, and it's held zero and hasn't taken any major damage.

 

[Atti_Mac]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

This post is kind a slow now, anybody received chassis lately?
My 6 weeks almost gone, I posted to Kyle, and no answer, I 'm curious where are you guys on the waiting list?

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

I got 7 weeks to go.........
About the same time we get drawn for wyoming tags.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

STS,
Did Northwest charge as a regular rifle stock, or did they charge as an AR?

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Just ordered mine today... I've got some time before I get it, but I'm so psyched!! Plus, it might be a good thing that its not coming until after schools out... Might cause my grades to drop if it came before then, because I would be skipping too many days haha.

 

[Atti_Mac]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

I will get mine next week!

So excited !

that thing is perfect in every way! Whatta' sick looking rig. She'll probably shoot pretty decent too, huh?

 

[Da-Law-Dawg]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Thanks FAL,

With the factory HS furniture & bedding, she was a sub-half MOA rifle with my handloads. Range trip coming up shortly & believe she is gonna be as good or better in the XLR.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

remington 700p factory barreled action, R&D Precision brake, badger 30moa base, nightforce ultra light rings, mark IV 6.5-20x50 ER. 300 win mag!

enjoy!

 

[pyplynr]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

My 6 weeks is up. Hopefully I'll get a tracking number here in the next week or so! I just finished my 1000 yard berm Sunday. Barrel should be here in a couple weeks too. All ive got left to get is rings and a muzzle brake.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

The machining is top notch. Fit was perfect. The three Snipers who I demo'ed this system to all said they felt a reduction in recoil (compared to their factory LTR's).

I should have a full review up very soon. I am waiting on audio equipment to show up before we run a video review.

I know you keen observers will note the riser between the rail and rungs. This was a short notice type deal, so I was not able to wait for the correct height rings before the demo. The YHM riser seemed to work fine though.

[sobrbiker883]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

I'm so on the fence! Biggest factor for me is that I'm leery of how high I'd have to go with rings to get a 35mm tubed 3.8-22X58 up there. I have my cheekpieces pretty much centered on the bore or just above as it is with just a Med Palma barrel and a 20moa Seekins base.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: lnmi</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Great looking rigs. For you gentleman that have this chassis, I would really like to know how it handles shooting from the shoulder freehand if you had to occasionally. Thanks. </div></div>

It handles great for offhand shooting. The balance of the chassis makes it a joy and I didn't even have a sling on it. If I was properly slung up and installed a hand stop I think it would be an excellent offhand option (as long as you don't install a telephone pole barrel).

Jason, can't you give me a minute of glory before you go rubbing your Hensoldt in my face. My poor Bushnell 10x has a complex now.

 

[sobrbiker883]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

How high is your mount Jason?

John, I'm pretty sure you could get the job done with the Bushnell

 

[jasonk]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

LOL Lonewolf, it's actually got a Bushnell HDMR on there now, just haven't had a chance for pics.

Sobr, it's a flat Mark 4 base and AI 28moa mount. I think the ring height is "about" equivalent to 1.2" high rings.

you went .223 on the build?

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Thanks for posting the photos. Placed my order a few weeks ago. I guess I better start looking for some high rings for my scope.

That one is a 223 built by Dave Tooley, it's been in an AICS and the XLR, my wife preferred the grip and the weight of the XLR. She'll be shooting that rifle at the Oregon Snipers Challenge using 80gr JLKs if I can get the load worked up.

Long term I hope to put it in an AI AX Chassis.....someday.

Would be interesting to see how they compare.

 

[Chiller]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

what is the weight coming out on these compared to a similar build using a AICS..??..??

 

[jasonk]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

I think it was about a pound less.

I though they would be lighter than a AICS.

Yes, sorry for not being clear, the XLR was about a pound less than the AICS.

Cool, thanks for the info! Still on the fence. A bunch of us here are interested but noone want to be the guinea pig. If I didn't have to sell a stock I'm happy with to try it I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I want hands on before I step off.....

 

[bogger01]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

i have done a little off hand shooting with my "telephone pole barrel" and it wasn't to bad.i've got a medium target contour thats 30 inches long but the stock design makes it doable.it's not something i would like to hold off hand for any length of time but again the balance of the stock helps

 

[HillbillyfromAL]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Just ordered mine today. Kyle was pretty quick with the return phone call, and was helpfull on the phone. That 7 week lead time sucks, but I guess everyone is keeping him busy. I'll post some pics when it gets here.

 

[ollie]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Hillbilly, ordered mine today to. 7 weeks sounds like forever.

 

[Silentrunner]

Re: XLR Chassis Stock

Tomorrow will be eight weeks for me. Build will be a Stiller tac 30 chambered in 223 ackley, 22 in barrel, suppressed, 4x16 Hensoldt.{Thanks Jasonk for the recomendation on the scope}
