My dream long range precision rig

[dhamby]

I am but the XLR was more cost effective for my needs right now. Chassis, stock, and a rail section shipped to my house for less than $700

I am really temptied to try one of these chassis.

I'm really test out an AI chassis this summer. I shot AJ Browns MK13MOD5 last summer at an outing my buddy puts on, and I really liked the feel of the rifle. My local surplus store has a stock for a pretty decent price, and I could sell my McMillan to more than pay for it.

Minor update: I replaced one of the trigger springs on the XMark and tuned it up a little bit yesterday. It feels MUCH better. I don't have a trigger gauge but it feels absolutely fantastic. I'd guess in the 2.5 pound range. So I'll keep it for now and spend that Timney money on load development.

Phylodog runs 'em and he does this stuff for a living so....they have a great reputation. I've never read a bad review. They all say the same thing: quality is top notch, lightweight, and comfortable.

I have heard a lot about the Evolution chassis but not a whole lot about the Element personally. Looking forward to hear how you like it.

Is there anything worse than waiting on UPS?

 

[THE BIG SITT]

Yes. You could be waiting on USPS.

Well here she is fellas. It's been a long time coming and I could not be happier.

Beautiful rifle. When are you going to take her out?

Not sure yet. First range trip will probably just be break in so nothing too exciting.

Looks great, congrats!

Did a break in at Atterbury tonight. It was a good time. Shoot-clean-shoot-clean so on and so on. After ten rounds I started doing three shot groups between cleanings. This was all done using Fiocchi stuff. Two three shot groups and a four shot group. .754", .865", and a .961". This thing is begging for some handloads.

I shouldn't have clicked on this...now I want to build one

Nice! 100 yards I assume?

Yes sir. I've got high hopes for it.

Very awesome build. Looks like it's performing well. Enjoy it because you built a beauty.

I'm thinking about upgrading the glass a little. I'm liking the Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 Mil/Mil. I know it's already been suggested to have matching reticle and turrets. The overtime gods have smiled on me and I think out of all the other things I could upgrade, a better scope will benefit me the most.

Right now I actually have those in stock.

Very nice.
I see that the rings are very high.
Do they need to be for that stock?
Keep us informed with the handloads.

They're medium heigth rings that I had to use when the scope was mounted on my AR to clear the quad rail handguard. I'll get a set of low rings for the new scope.
