Grayboe Flagstaff opinions?

Well, I but the bullet and ordered one. Yet to shoot it, but so far I like most of it. It’s light, handy, feels good and the chassis is machined well and of great overall quality.

My two main gripes are the where the flush cups are located on the fore end and butt. Both are on the bottom, and they are 360* cups, so your sling can easily get twisted up. I’ll get an m-lok flush cup mount for the left side and solve half that issue.

The other grips is that the fore end is very slippery. There is no texture at all on it, and even with just handling it at home, with dry hands, it felt slick. I need to figure out a way to possibly add some rubber texture paint or something to help with that.

I’ll check back in after I shoot it to give a better report.

I am highly considering getting the Flagstaff for my Tikka build. Were you able to go out and shoot your rifle with the stock? Any more thoughts on it?

I haven't been able to shoot it yet. I'm remodeling my back yard right now before it gets too cold, plus working nights kinda takes all my free time. I will say, I sponge applied some clear truck bed coating to the little finger groove channel on the fore-end and it solved the slipperiness that I didn't like while just shouldering it and dry firing. Overall it feels really good.. I'm hoping to be able to get out and shoot it soon, and I don't see how it would be any worse, accuracy wise, than the Bravo it was in, due to the only contact between the chassis/stock and the rifle is literally the same as the Bravo.

Heres to hoping I can get out and shoot some more though, I really need to polish the hunting load I have been working on for this rifle (178eld-x, 44.5gr of varget, lapua brass, moving at 2670ish fps)
