XLR Envy with New JV Heavy Fill Chassis

[drwood96]

With heavy being the new sexy in precision rifles, here’s a look at XLR’s update to the Envy. It now features a removable steel spine that adds 20oz. to the chassis and extends past the forend 2.75". It comes standard with both a 2.5" Dovetail and Picatinny rail for mounting accessories further forward.

They also released the Mercury Recoil Suppressor/Weight that fits inside XLR butt stock tube. Hope to get my hands on one soon to try out.

Any other Envy shooters out there?

Uses it at several matches this year and love it.

I have an earlier generation, love it, just tried the weights for the foregrip and think it's a nice addition. Also gives you something to press into barricades other than the scope bell.

Just built mine. Going to have to either buy the solid buffer tube or the mercury recoil reducer. Its definitely front heavy.

I went with the mercury tube to help balance the rifle. Big improvement in recoil, no. It has the same effect of adding weight else where on the chassis. I believe the mercury part is a benefit on 6.5 and larger calibers. On the 6.5CM, the mercury part helps to smooth out the recoil impulse to more of a push than a punch.

Are most people running the ARCA or PIC rail on the front spigit? I'm currently running RRS bipod adaptor with PIC for a more secure lockup.

I prefer the Envy Heavy they have been doing for me that’s inletted for the Ingenuity Gunworks rail. Rail adds weight and is faster than the ARCA system for bipod use.

Are those the older version without the removable steel spine?

Two are older one is the newer version just not milled for the steel spine.
