I don't understand why it's $2900? It's a Remington in an MDT chassis? I highly doubt the action is even close to a custom action or a trued remington action and the barrel is a remington, not a Bartlein, Shilen, Rock etc... I mean adjust my numbers if I am wrong:
Action only $450
Barrel $350
Truing Job $250
X Mark trigger $30
AAC Brake $90
PRS Stock $210
Total - $1380
Where does the other $1619 come into play? Does that go to George Soros's piggy bank?
Did I read that wrong or did it also include a NF NXS 3.5x15x50 and a AAC 726-SDN-6? If so that is a steal...I don't understand why it's $2900? It's a Remington in an MDT chassis?

If that $2900 is list I would think $2400 would be off the shelf.
My 30-06 build:
Ashbury Precision Ordnance Mod 1 $2300
Barrel $300
Stiller Action $950
Timney Trigger $125
Recoil lug $50
Mag $100
Machine work $450
Cerakote $200
AAC Brake $100
Total $4575
So, that price is not "that bad" if it is a decent shooter and has a decent barrel compared to the standard Remington tube.
"with an MSRP starting at just $2,900. You could pay several times that for a rifle in this category"
I would expect to pay 10 thousand dollars for a Remington 700 in a chassis? The only thing I can even think of that costs "several" times what this goes for is an AI PSR.
In any case I don't think anyone who knew what they were doing would buy that. Unless you count the US Military.
It would be like comparing a Ferrari to a Geo Metro with a Ferrari body kit.
If it can shoot better than 1/3 MOA then it would be more like a Geo Metro with a 454 big block and a Ferrari body kit.
My best three shot group so far is 1/3 MOA at one hundred yards...
Actually, it looks like the rifle might just be a regular R700 action in this chassis:
MDT TAC21 and LSS Tactical Chassis Systems
In which case...meh.
Exactly... I saw that at the top and said, that's not new, that been out for a while if that is true that it is just a rebadge, reports I read are that it looks a lot better than it shoots. Bordered on awful. Looks to me to be a rebadge of an existing product though.
Ahhh ok thanks, makes sense. I call BS on the 1/3 MOA though.
