I've put several hundred rounds through my Savage FCP-K since installing the XLR chassis. It is excellent, worth the 4-8 week wait if there is one. I wanted adjustability, a good fit, and a reliable, stable platform and that is what I got, at a reasonable price. Joe

Looks good to me! I got my XLR chassis for my .308Win 10-FCP-K a week ago and have shot it twice. Still getting used to the pistol grip and adjusting eye relief and cheek weld. Good results for me, too, so far. The clearance on the bolt handle was a little tight on mine but I fixed that...

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Nothing wrong with the stock, my bet. Joe

Here is what mine looks like in action, as of this morning. Still working on the cheek pad height and the scope eye relief, but the stock is excellent. Now, as for the shooter, I need to move my hips to the right and pay more attention to preload of the bipod, at least that is what I see in...

I got to shoot mine this morning for the first time. Good results. I also took some video of myself so I could see what all I am doing wrong. Looks like I need to move my hips right and preload the bipod consistently. At least now with this stock, I am able to seat the butt stock high enough...

Here is a video of the completed gun. Note--no audio yet. I will add that when I add the range report on Sunday. It fits me. That is the main consideration. XLR Chassis 8 3 13 - YouTube Joe

You mean like when you call the local UPS driver on his cell phone and ask if you can meet him at the Whataburger for lunch instead of waiting for him to deliver to your house 7 hours later? Joe

FloridaBuck--I have my chassis and scope adjusted now and shot some video that contains a close up of the scope rings and scope plate for you. There isn't any audio yet--I'll add that after I shoot the gun on Sunday with the new stock. XLR Chassis 8 3 13 - YouTube The gun finally fits me...

TPS Medium on the 3.5-21x50 Bushnell is perfect with the XTR standard material front hand guard and a 20 moa rail. The TPS Low was fine before the XTR Chassis. I had both on hand. Joe

Got my green folder XLR Chassis for my Savage 10 FCP-K today. Took 12 weeks, I believe, but part of that was waiting for a 10 round magazine, so I switched to a 5 round and it shipped. Everything fit perfectly and the install would have taken about 30 minutes except that I needed to change to...

I got my XLR chassis at 7pm tonight and had the install finished in less than an hour, including changing the scope rings. and shortening the scope rail to clear the hand guard. Mine looked and fit perfectly. It did take about 12 weeks to get here. Joe

Another happy 3.5-21x50 DMR Bushnell with the G2DMR reticle owner here. Excellent optic for the money. Joe

I have a 2-8x M-223 with the BDC reticle. I am pretty sure you can use the Spot-on program to calculate what the distance represents for your muzzle velocity just like you can re-calculate what the marks on the BDC reticle represent. I have used the Spot-On program to calculate the scale when...

I've got maybe 600 rounds through a Savage .308 Model 10 FCP-K using a 3.5-21x50 DMR with the G2DMR reticle and am very happy with it. It is the only "good" scope I have so I don't know what a top of the line scope looks like for comparison. All I know is that I have about 250 rounds through...

I asked the same question last fall about a scope for my one and only 308 and wound up buying the Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR with the G2DMR reticle. I got it just before the new model came out and couldn't be happier. I've shot it a bunch at 545 yards and hope to try 800 this weekend. I bet you...
