First and foremost, I would like to thank Kyle at XLR Industries for his incredible customer service and dedication to putting out a great product.
Now on with the review.
After about a year of having my B&C Tactical Medalist, I found a need for something different. What started as a casual perusal of rifle stocks turned into a full blown need for something new and radical.
Low and behold I came upon XLR Industries through a posting on this site and fell in love. A couple months and a summer job later, I had enough cash and placed the order with Kyle. Again, cannot stress this enough, great customer service and incredibly easy to talk to.
Fast forward three weeks and I received the stock, along with an AICS 10 round magazine thrown in as an apology for a slightly longer build time than quoted (a couple days, which he then shipped out 2 day air to make up for, great CS or what!?).
Threw the whole thing together with ease, realizing my scope mount (EGW 20 MOA) was about 1" too long and would not pass the locking section for the forend. Quick trip to a saw and everything fell into place perfectly as it should.
Just an FYI, for those of you wondering, I'm running TPS Super-Low 30mm rings and they <span style="font-style: italic">just barely</span> cleared.
Went out to the range today, and the thing was incredible. Got several looks from other people at the range and explained all about where I got it from and the features.
Had a couple friends with me who had never shot rifles before so I started to teach them a little bit of what to do. Cycling the action on this rifle is now worlds better than the standard internal box mag. Mine always used to catch and scratch the hell out of my brass. This is no longer a problem, every time I cycle the action and put a round in the chamber, it's like butter.
Newbie being taught
Heres a short vid of a three shot rapid fire at 150 yards:
Did have the joy of discovering why you need to press check when using mags though haha.
Newbie taking his first shot on a rifle, needs to keep his head down
Overall, this stock was well worth the money. The construction, tightness, DBM system, and feel is simply put, stunning. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in a chassis system with an affordable DBM configuration check out the XLR stock.
I apologize for the poor quality videos, but it's all the cell phone could produce.
If I missed anything feel free to ask.
