Anyone used/using a RRS KRG Chassis Plate on the X-Ray chassis?

[jdizzle3id]

I've narrowed down my tripod research/selection to a Leofoto ln-364c with the RRS TA-3 leveling head. I also see RRS makes a chassis plate that connects directly to the X-ray forend. Has anyone used this set up before?

I'm mostly curious about whether or not the plastic on the x-ray forend flexes at the attachment point. It would seem silly to throw down $900 on a solid tripod setup only to have the rifle chassis negate any benefit.

Thanks for any input.

I don’t think you’d have a problem. I have the RRS mount on my W3 and two of the main hand guard bolts are replaced with longer bolts to go through the RRS mount. Then you’d have two in the middle that you could use magpul insert for. Also, being mounted back against the mag well should keep you from putting the same torque on it you would with a bipod on the front-most part of the hand guard.

Worst case, you add a W3 hand guard later, but I’ll think you’d be fine with the X-ray guard. RRS lists specific hardware uses for the X-ray.

Alright, I ordered everything. If it sucks, i'll get the W3 handguard. I'll post the results when i get the equipment.

Would this plate work with the bravo chassis as well?

Yea I'm running it on a Xray with a 223 trainer for tripod training. Easy install, no issues operationally.

Got the tripod, leveling head, and rrs arca plate. Seems rock solid in the living room. No flex in the X-ray chassis that I can tell. Heading to the range tomorrow. Super happy with the setup so far.
