Re: XLR Chassis Stock
What brand of rings are you using? I would like to see a picture of you complete rig, what I saw looks good.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
I ordered mine for a Savage 12 Left handed action that is soon to become a .300blk. Can't wait for this to get here.
I've seen the formula on xlr's site but don't have all the parts for measurements yet. Was looking to see if anyone could give their experience on what rings worked for them.
Will be using a egw 20moa base, swfa ss 3-9x42, on top of a rounded (accu trigger) savage short action. I'd like to keep it as low as possible, any help would be great!

I had an xlr evolution (1.75" handguard) with a savage 12 target action and an EGW HD 20moa rail and Nightforce 1.125" rings worked for an 56mm NXS but there wasnt enough clearance for scope caps. The nightforce BR model is a little bigger diameter. For any of those I'd say 1.25" rings is the right height. 1.18" is good for a 50mm nightforce.
Here are the objective diameters of those scopes so you can compare against yours. Nightforce has pretty thick tubes so yours is probably smaller
56mm NXS - 2.5615
56mm Benchrest - 2.717
50mm NXS - 2.324
btw the standard egw rail is taller (raises the scope up a little more) than the HD rail. I really prefer the HD ones over the standard ones though.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
I have started a new build on a Stiller action with a 30" barrel. Been reading and looking at all of the different options of stocks out there. Most of the traditional stocks, as in Mcmillan, B&C and so on are too big for my hands. This has made me look at the chassis systems that utilize an AR type grip.
There are only a couple of chassis systems that I have found that support long actions without modifications and thus far the most appealing is the XLR.
Any of you out there have the XLR HD with a long barrel? If so, please post some pics so that I get an idea of what I would be looking at. Also, did you use the 14" or 16" handguard?

Here is the newer carbon fiber chassis with a 31.5" x 1.25" straight tube in it. Hand guard ends 16" from the action face and the diameter is 2" (same as HD). The action is an octagon stiller short action w/ integrated rail.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
Is the cheek weld height a problem on these as the scopes appear to require pretty tall rings in order to clear the hand guard. This concernes me as I am going to run a USO with 58mm objective.
Nice setups by the way guys. Thanks for posting the pics.

No the cheek piece is fully adjustable. Ive still got another 1/2" of travel up on mine with those 1.5" high rings on it. Once you square yourself up I personally find having the scope mounted high is more comfortable if you have something decent to put your face on.
For your scope if you need a custom height ring to clear everything (just depends on how high your rail is above the action) Ted at American Rifle Company was willing to make a custom set of rings for me to the height I needed. 1.55", 1.60", etc. Give him a call. Very nice rings and good to deal with.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
Hey all, I just purchased an XLR chassis for my Remington 700 Sps Tactical SA in .308 and was wondering if you guys could help me out to see if my current scope and rings/mount setup will fit on the XLR chassis.
For my Remington 700 I have the Remington integral scope mounts shown in this link and they are the "High" mounts
http://www.remington.com/products/access...pe%20mount.aspx
and am using a Redfield scope 4x12x40 shown in this link
http://www.redfield.com/_media/downloads/Revolution_4-12x40mm.pdf
Any help from any of you gentlemen that have the XLR chassis will be greatly appreciated, just want to figure out now if I have to purchase different rings for my setup to fit on the XLR, thank you.

The new carbon fiber handguard does weigh less but it is still 2" in diameter so mounting height is the same. If you scroll up to my previous post you can see a picture of it or see Kyle's other thread where he posted some pictures.

I do not have the actual dimension of the outside of your objective (its bigger than 40mm) and I cannot find an action height for "Remington High" but to give you an idea, assuming it is 1.1" to mount a 50mm vortex pst on there you would need 1.364" rings minimum if you are talking about mounts that fit directly on your receiver. Most of these guys have a rail on top of the receiver which raises things .25 - .4" by itself and then rings sitting on the rail.
The diameter of the Vortex 50mm is 2.257". 40mm is 1.574" plus you have to add the thickness of the scope tube. It is highly unlikely that your existing rings will work unless they are substantially taller than 1.1". If they do a ray of light may pass under it. I recommend putting a nightforce rail on top of your remington action and then getting some picatinny spec rings of the appropriate height to sit on top of that. You will have a lot more mounting options and the ability to easily remove / move the scope.
I realize I just recommended using a rail and rings that cost as much or more than the actual scope. You can get a cheaper rail from EGW and some rings from Burris and get the total cost down to near $100.
For a remington short / long action (1.35" diameter action) with a 1.75" hand guard the top of the action is going to be about .235" below the top of the hand guard. So you are starting at -.25 and you need to add rings / rails on top of that that produce a positive number that is 1/2 of your actual objective diameter w/ caps in place + whatever clearance you want between the objective and the hand guard. .25 + .125 (desired clearance) + 1/2 of the objective diameter is the size rings you need. This assumes no rail and doesnt include anything for a 20moa cant.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
Those are very nice rings and a great base. You wont regret it but those rings are 30mm. Isn't the scope you listed 1"?

Ok, so I just looked up the full specs on the M82. Weight is close to 30 lbs. with an overall length of 57" with a 29" barrel. I noticed you do not have the folding stock on your set up. Can you give me the overall length of yours?
I am using a Stiller Tac338 action with an Obermeyer 30" AMU+ finish length barrel with very little taper. Muzzle break is going to add a few inches but my hopes are with a folding stock that I can fit it into a Pelican 1750 case.

There are only a couple of chassis systems that I have found that support long actions without modifications and thus far the most appealing is the XLR.
Any of you out there have the XLR HD with a long barrel? If so, please post some pics so that I get an idea of what I would be looking at. Also, did you use the 14" or 16" handguard? </div></div>
XLR HD with Stiller TAC408, 30" barrell with long handguard. Just finished it, rings are too FN tall.
Hard to tell from the pictures but size and weight are comparable to Barrett M82
Ok, so I just looked up the full specs on the M82. Weight is close to 30 lbs. with an overall length of 57" with a 29" barrel. I noticed you do not have the folding stock on your set up. Can you give me the overall length of yours?
I am using a Stiller Tac338 action with an Obermeyer 30" AMU+ finish length barrel with very little taper. Muzzle break is going to add a few inches but my hopes are with a folding stock that I can fit it into a Pelican 1750 case.

Ya they are, I hadn't checked to see if nightforce sold 1" rings yet but I assume they don't?

Welllll, it feels like an M82 or I'm starting to feel my age.
Length with the recoil pad a little over half the way out is 55", weight is "only" 22 lbs with the scope.
If I adjust the pad all the way in its 52.5", my barrel length including break is ~31".

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
sounds like some Wheaties may be in order.....lol
Thanks for the info on your build. With a non folder, looks like it isn't going to fit the Pelican case. That's ok, just a little more money to spend.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
That Chey-Tac should weigh no more than 24 pounds unless lead was added to the butt stock. Not quite were the M82 is but a big rifle non the less.

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
The phone rang last night and the caller ID showed XLR Industries! Kyle on the other end informing me the chassis was ready to ship. Now I begin the next phase of waiting for the UPS truck
It was exactly 10 weeks to the evening that I had placed my order. Well done Kyle. Also, many thanks to all who replied to my first post asking how well Kyle was doing keeping to his 10 week estimate. Apparently he is doing quite well.
Much appreciated,
G

Re: XLR Chassis Stock
My rifle is in pieces while waiting for the chassis because I sent the rail to get shortened and need new rings.
Every time I'm bored I think "Dry fire time!" and then pick up my rifle with the crappy accustock on it and I think, "This thing is the biggest pile of poop in the world." I just put it back and day dream instead.
