How are you liking the chassis, I currently have my shorty in a Krg Bravo but that’s temporary until I decide on something else.

Now that their folding butt stock is out, I love it man. I don’t think I’ll ever change it. For my hunting rig it’s perfect.

I mean all breaked rifles are hella loud. Before this I had a 16 inch 300 wsm on there and it’s thumped for sure. But it’s a hunting rig come and done

Do you know the weight of the chassis? I’m wondering how it compares to the MDT HNT26.

Less that 2.5lbs. Mine was 2.5 but that was it the arca rail, pic rail, bad rider etc.

"16" is a construct not borne of physics. You do known that?

I’ve never really cared for the Xylo’s aesthetics, but I came back to look at this twice. It quickly grew on me. For anyone into video games, it really gives me some Borderlands vibes.

Lol. Clearly it’s been too long since I jumped on the XBox. I even looked at the ‘D’ logo and wondered what it was actually for?

Nice! What bullet are you shooting and what kind of velocity are you getting? A short 7saum keeps tempting me... I cut my 300 WM to 20" and was contemplating re barreling to a short 7saum.

I’m shooting the 180 eldm at 2805 with rl26 in a short action. It’s shooting great. I was shocked at the speeds I’m getting. I could get it to 2850 but there was some preasure signs there.

 

[stello1001]

Ha...
Thanks!!! But this one can't shoot for shit. I'm getting shotgun pattern groups so that makes it not as sick. Idk what I'm gonna do about it...

That is excellent out of a 17! That makes me excited. I was looking at carbon 6 for a tube, this may push me over the edge!

That’s what I’m using carbon 6 . 1:8 twist magnum contour

 

[INgunner54]

Right on. I was thinking sendero to save a little weight since it's for a backpack hunting rig.

The difference is only 1-3 ounces. So I will take the 2 extra ounces to not have a pinner barrel.
My barrel which is actually 17.25 weights 2lbs 2 ounces

He’s left eye dominant so the cheek piece is on the opposite side.

That is the most steam-punk, dystopian, Mad-Max rifle I've ever seen. Well done good sir. Phenomenally well done.

I’m more of a Jakobs man myself but I can dig it. The pump action revolving sniper rifles are just one of those things crazy enough to be interesting. Kind of like the integrally suppressed Knights Armament revolver rifle.

 

[RUTGERS95]

I need one; build or buy?

Thanks mate - it was pretty fun to put together. Thank god I was doing a roughed up scheme for myself - I literally dropped it half way through coating and just went “oh well, fits the scheme”

Very nice rifle though.

Right at 2800 with a 180 accubond and mild charge of 4831sc. I'm sure I could get better with load development but it shot my current load great so I couldn't justify using up the components for a few more fps.
