Should have done it years ago... XLR

[sgreen3]

Ive always wanted one of these chassis but could never really justify the cost, but earlier this year I finally said to heck with it and got one. Now after shooting it over the past 5 months I dont see how I went so long, I should have got one years ago. They just make the rifle so easy to shoot, it makes the rifle very stable when shooting from the bench, prone or even shooting off barracades. The accuracy improvements are an added bonus as well, granted IMO its just making the accuracy thats already there more usable. So for anyone that's on the fence about getting one, just do it!

Here are a few groups at 275yrds

Couldn't agree more. I went with an XLR many years ago and have never had any complaints. It's nice to be able to fine tune a chassis and make it a perfect fit, makes a significant impact on accuracy in my opinion.

It took alot of self convinicing to get one. Ive wanted one for a long time, but so glad I finally pulled the trigger on one. I agree, it just makes the rifle so much easier to shoot I guess is a good way to put it...


Sweet looking rig BTW.........

Ive owned the XLR, Mcree's, and one other chassis that I cant recall. For me, I just cant get accustom them. I really dont know how to explain it, but they just feel "cold" to me. That said, they are much better than factory.

That said, different strokes for different folks. If we all liked the same kit, there would only be one option.

Yea tough to make an option that everyone will like.

I owned a RPR 223 for a while, and while it had everything I could possibly want in a bolt action 223...I just couldn't get comfortable behind the thing.

Give me an McM A5, Manners T2, or the new B&C Medalist Target/Competition stock (which is basically a heavier, less 'bombproof' T2A clone) and I'm money...

Nothing wrong with a quality stock. I ran a B&C for a long time, till I finally decided to go the chassis route and haven't been back to anything else since..
