That would be the end of the chamber chipsfan. It is pretty square cut with little taper.

My Remington 700 AAC-SD in 300 blackout does not feed 130 grain hollow points reliably. No issues with soft or ballistic tips. It seems the end of the hollow point is hitting the opening of the barrel while trying to enter. The opening of the barrel forward of the feed ramp is almost square cut...

I stuck a Remington 700 aac 16.5in barrel 308 in a MDT LSS chassis. The chassis fit pretty well but I did have to relive it in some areas for that perfect fit. After reading many threads on chassis and action fit it seems that not all factory actions are machined perfectly the same. Not a big...

I have been hunting and plinking with a unsupressed 300 BLK for several years in an AR platform and love it. I have been drooling about a build with a Reminton 700 AAC-SD 300 BLK in a MDT-LSS or Element chassis. I have one of these guns in a 308 in a LSS chassis set up now and really like it but...

I do like the forend on the XLR. Maybe a little better for bench shooting off a bag or more grip for off hand shooting. I hear it has a little shorter length of pull than the LSS with a fixed stock. I use an adjustable so that's not an issue for me. I also have no issues removeing the bolt as...

I don't think you could go wrong with either of those chassis. Pro's and con's on both. I am thinking of taking my other Rem TAC 700 out of my MDT TAC21 chassis and maybe try a the new XLR chassis for more of a longer range hunting/ bench gun set up. I just can't leave things alone! lol....

Too light a rifle is not always a" fun to shoot a lot rifle". If I had to carry mine all day, I would not want it to weight 10lbs like mine does! lol... But I can shoot many 175's out of it at one sitting without shutting my eyes. Just some food for thought.

I have a Magpul CTR stock and riser on my LSS which is fine for cold weather. Some Mole hair on that forearm tames the cold some too. I am not a big fan of the rubber stuff because I hunt in leafy camo and the rubber really grabs holt of that stuff. The rubber does feel good though.

That aluminum chassis does get COLD but it does everything I want so I can tolerate it. Course I am in south Texas where 35 is cold!

Niles Coyote is right. My MDT LSS had a very nice machined bed area. Problem is , my Rem 700 AAC did not fit it! The action was just cut too tight and my action never reached the bed area until I releived it. Fits nice now and shoots very good. Now I am considering skim bedding it but not sure...

I bought my MDT LSS before the XLR was available. An easily adjustable buttstock was a necessity for my type of hunting so that made the Lss work for me. Added a Magpul CTR with a cheek riser and that gives a good cheek weld. I also filled my buffer tube with 71/2 lead shot which helped the...

I put my Rem 700AAC in a MDT LSS and love it. Only problem I had was the action fit to tight in the chassis and I had to relive it some. With a Magpul CTR collaspible stock it makes a great brush country hunter. That new XLR does look sexy too.

Man you have a jam up rig there! Don't obsess over it just go out and shoot the hell out of it! Pick up some Hornady 168gr BTHP match ammo. It will shoot great and not break the bank. Put a couple hundred rounds through it and then evaluate things that you don't like.

Well I can't say much about a smith who recommends fire lapping without even knowing the accuracy of the gun. Maybe he wants to sell you a new barrel when you mess up that one! lol.... Man that's some good ammo and that ACC will like the 168 grain bullet. Let the bullet polish that barrel and...

Why do you think you need to fire-lap? You best be careful using those things from what I understand. My AAC 308 in getting well under MOA with handloads. Run some rounds through it like maybe some Match ammo and see how it does. Sometimes it just takes some rounds shooting to smooth that bore...
