Finally completed. Bat bumblebee action, 18" osprey 3b contour 7tw 219 bore chambered in 22 creed, ultra7 can. Xlr element 4.0 mg chassis. Right now has a March 4.5-28x52 on it, but once the nv bridge is done being modified at machine shop, will have a nx8 2.5-20 on it, and eotech clipir-lr on the bridge.

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.

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.

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!
 
Right on. I was thinking sendero to save a little weight since it's for a backpack hunting rig.
 
Setup a rifle for my kid (and maybe one dad can borrow.)

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

18” proof 6.5 CM
Impact 737r with TT special
Manners cs2
Bushnell LRHSi 4.5-18
Will run a TBAC ultra 9 on it.

Note the DAHL logo on the mag 😁
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.

Contemplating cutting my 300wm to 20”, what kind of velocity are you seeing in yours?
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.
