See the same thing in ATX rifles which have the AX mag.
Seems rifle to rifle difference though. Some say they seat 6gt all the way to the rear, most say they have to have them forward though.

I’m doing a 6 dasher, I got Armageddon gear mag kit and the Aero chassis because it’s inexpensive and has adjustable latch
I picked up a .588 in left! (no I'm not lefty but never had a bolt action, and I'm too lazy to take my finger off the trigger)
This is gonna be a nice 338 lapua or 338 lapua impoved!
Found out about Preferred having prefits, and from reading here a company pva that I have to look into! (I'm halfway through the thread!)
I really like the front half of the xylo but the buttstock end is boring to me. I want a folder! I might just have to get it anyways.

I've read through this entire thread; could someone clue a newbie in on if/how the CDG would work with an internal box mag / factory Rem700 bottom metal? I want to build a hunting rifle, but not sure if I should wait for the "hunting" version if I'm only going to save a few ounces. Caliber would be 308-based.
Current iteration is AW/AICS compatible only, future hunting type might be BDL but is undetermined at the moment.
Anyone know if deep south tactical is still up and running? A local friend uses hart barrels from them and said they were hammers for the money.
I emailed them but haven't heard back yet

Yes they’re still up and running and doing great. David is on the hide. Shoot him a message or call them. @Deep South Tactical
Thank you! I bore scoped the barrel my buddy had and it was very nice and he got a good deal and I hadn't heard of hart barrels before he told me about them and DST. I know they're button rifled, but if I can get a nice deal I'll give it a try
Like CMP says, this version only works with a detachable magazine. If the CDG is going to be offered like the Mausingfield, the lightweight version will have a feed ramp to operate with in internal mag. BUT, that is purely speculation on my part. LRI(I think) sells an adaptation of an aics that is sort of like an internal mag, so that could be an option as well
Hart has been around for some time they’re gtg.
They got back to me on FB and said they'de be able to chamber/thread for the CDG
I'd be 1000% down for this!
A slightly longer forend and a folder and I’m 100% in. You said it yourself Ted, the heart wants what it wants!
They make an arca spigot that interfaces with the existing chassis arca rail, I have one on my xylo, works as a longer forend would.
Without the ability to put weights on it. You can have a better balanced rifle with less overall weight if the forend was longer.
Wish I would have known about a pva cdg group buy! Bummmer
It was just for a free brake. If you're not a savage you'll be running a can anyway. Of course, you'd be further up in the queue, so there's that.
I'd be totally in for one as well. I'm planning on a Xylo for my CDG. A folder would be sooo much better....
Id throw money at that.
Yeah I have a MPA chassis with spigot mount. Still wish the forend was actually longer. I believe the new ones are.
I mean I like my xylo, especially the quick adjust LOP and cheek height. But that cheek is not good for the support side stages I usually see once a match. I like the recoil lug wedge, well done. However the chassis feels less stable than my envy pro and atx chassis. I run hvy comp or hvy varm profiles at 28" for all my match style rigs, and with a Ckyepod out on the arca most the time, I had no need for weights to balance. Then again, I'm content with a 19-20# gun fully ready to go. A lot of guys are running way heavier these days.
Pre order available. 88 weeks until estimated delivery.
Don’t tease me
Just got my Xylo for the CDG build. Super happy about it. Barrels blanks should be here pretty soon, and then let’s sit grab a beer and wait for the action…
How long was your wait for the chassis?
It shipped the same day of the order, zero wait. As I am in Europe the overall delivery including export permit and freight shipment through an exporter and everything was 34 calendar days. Not too bad.
Just ordered my Xylo, got a shipping notification with in 10 minutes of placing the order.
For the pivoting handle, what is everyone doing for a trigger? My initial thought was a Diamond 2 stage, but they looks like it may not work with the pivoting handle. Or just set it heavy I guess? My first dive into stuff, so trying to figure it out.
TT Diamond Flat Single stage. Gonna keep it around the 14oz -1lb mark.
Had planned to use a spare Tubb T7T to match what's on my my Mausingfield, but I looked on the ARC website today and the Tubb is no bueno with the CDG trigger hanger.
TT Diamond 2 stage. I thought I saw where the problem children were the single stage set very light.
I have two Archimedes with single stage diamonds. Not set as low as it will go cause I like a little feel personally but I’ve never had a problem with thousands of rounds fired. Assuming cdg would be same.
Keep the TTD2S above 10oz and you shouldn’t have much to worry about.
I'd like to run a bna tac sport, but tried one on my archimedes with all 3 sear heights and could NOT get it to cooperate reliably. However the single stage diamond at 16oz runs like a champ.
Odd, I have 2 BnA tac sport 2 stages running perfectly in Archimedes. Using low sears based on my measurements, ARC's chart recommends the same.
What didn't work in my Archimedes was an XTSP mod 22, it caused horrendous drag opening and closing the bolt and it put so much friction on the cocking piece the firing pin was very slow and noticably down on energy. I think the sideplates of the mod 22 were contacting the cocking piece causing all the issues.
The mod 22 had been working just fine in my nucleus for about 3k rounds, I moved it and the barrel over to the Archimedes and the trigger was an immediate no go. Swapped it for the BnA and it's been great ever since.
I run a single stage Diamond with the Archimedes @ 18oz, no issues.
Have a 2s Huber 12/12oz for the CDG.
What ounces pull do you run? I have a two stage in mine but I like my single stage Diamond also.
My bna pro with medium sear drug like hell. The regular tac sport with low sear would drop the cocking piece upon bolt closure no matter what weight or sear adjustment I tried. I'd have to close the bolt with safety on, then turn off safety to get it to fucntion. F that.
Don’t have a gauge so don’t know. Never had a gauge just go by feel. Like i said though I like to feel the trigger but it’s still dam light just not as light as it will go like lots of dudes run them. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
That sucks. Just read that. I use a Tubb on one of my Archimedes now. My favorite 2 stage lefty trigger
