First I want to thank Optics Planet for exchanging my Furiosa chassis twice. It was not their fault but the manufacturers. The chassis will fit my KIDD SG but not like it should. Its real sloppy in the rear mount and when you have that slop, you can put light pressure on the barrel and watch the rear action move up and down so what do you think that would do to accuracy? On WOOX website they advertise that it fits the KIDD actions. That is a half truth. It fits but not right. I had to install a .011" shim to get a snug fit. The rear tang of the KIDD measured .360" and the WOOX was .353" with that chassis measurement maybe not exact because it was hard to measure. The only way this chassis will work is with the shim so unless you are talented or have a good gunsmith you are going to go through what I went through. I thought it was a flaw in just one but all 3 of the ones I received were exactly the same. Another thing, if you are expecting real Walnut on this chassis the pistol grip is plastic painted like walnut. The little pieces on the forearm are walnut. Not sure about the cheek rest but that may be walnut too.
Besides the negatives, the adjustments of the cheek rest and the LOP are real nice. You push a button which releases the mounts so you can move them. When you release the buttons it locks again so its totally tool less and a great design. The chassis as a whole looks great to the eye. Would I buy this again. Not until they fix their fitment issues.

These are the best fasteners for your AR Buffer Tube. They ratchet and lock in place without over tightening and they WONT come loose!! They are relatively easy to get back off. I only use these on my builds. Anything else is same old same old.

I purchased this scope for my 457 Varmint. I shot it with another scope and decided to try the Athlon. All I can say is its the same gun with a new scope shooting the same ammo with the same shooter but the groups are tighter. The reticle is clear and concise but I do have to zoom a little higher but that's my eyesight, not the scope. The view is clear all the way to the edge of the glass. Its Chinese glass but is as good as any Japanese glass I own. The scope adjusts and returns to 0 perfectly. Keep in mind that there are no lens covers, shade tube, or Throw lever. They do not even offer a throw lever but are available in aftermarket. Between lens covers, Shade tube, and throw lever you are looking at another 2 skins.

Decent bore scope and doesnt break the bank. Im going to order the rod type scope to go with it. You will have more control with it as far as rotating. Picture is clear and you can see most imperfections and carbon deposits easily.

Nice quality adapter for an ARCA rail. Functions nice and will loosen with 1/4 to 1/2 turn and you can slide it off the rail or move it to a different position. I adapted it to an MLOK bipod rather than buy a $300 to $400 bipod. Looks great and functions great.

I shot 100 of these thru my RPRR, 457, and 455. No problems. This is pistol ammo so take it for what its worth being run through rifles. Picture is misleading because they are round nose lead and not copper in any way. For any kind of accuracy they definitely dont live up to the Eley tenex name. I would rather use Fed Auto Match or CCI standard over this product. Both are cheaper and more accurate. Im going to try my pistols and see how they do but I really dont expect much in the accuracy department.

If you are thinking accuracy because of the Eley name, this is not it. Its alright for plinking but if you expect sub moa groups out of this, you might want to move on. The price is ok for Eley but you can get CCI Standard for cheaper and it will be more accurate. I sorted this ammo also and groups didnt improve. There were a lot of fliers before sorting and I shot them through a RPRR, 457, and 455. None of them liked this ammo at all. I had two, in the 500 I shot, that were fail to fire. In those guns I very rarely get FTF's in more than 1500 rounds. I doubt I will buy again. It was on sale for a reason.

At first I didnt like the green chassis but once I got it installed it looks great!! The only thing I changed on it was the pistol grip. I wanted a straight one. Took me about 20 minutes to install but an experienced person could probably do it in 10. There were no modifications. I have read several reviews where people talk about torque on the action being 60 inch LBS. It says in small print 15 to 35 inch LBS for rimfire. I had my screws tightened to 20 in the wood stock so I stayed with 20 in this chassis. Thats where I had my best accuracy. I have not shot this yet but the feel is real nice. As with other reviewers I think it should come with at least 2 more spacers for LOP. If I were MDT I would offer a totally adjustable butt assembly that could be added to this should the owner choose. KRG offers that with their Bravo but I have both and prefer the feel of the MDT. I mounted a CZ 455 American in it and is the base for this build. The barrel opening in the chassis can accommodate a 1.125 barrel easily, from my view there is plenty of room around the stock tapered barrel I have right now. The last thing I am going to change is the barrel and this build will be complete. Optic Planet did a great job shipping and pricing this item. I have bought from them many times. This item is quality and wont break the bank.

I ordered the straight trigger and at the time I was able to get it for considerably cheaper than this one. I ordered it in the middle of February with a delivery date of March 3. After many extensions on the delivery date which I see is ridiculously out there now, I was told by them to look at the curved trigger. I decided to order it even though it wasnt what I wanted. I would have thought they would have matched my original purchase price but they didnt and also made it so I couldnt put any discounts on it. I installed the trigger and it has a nice feel to it but my finger doesnt meet up with it, off the grip, like it would if it were straight. I settled. The 1/2 lb first stage comes to a distinct wall. That take up is about 1/8" or a little more. The break is at 1.5 lbs on my Wheeler trigger guage. The reset is almost immediate and you are instantly at the wall. I have this on my Ruger Precision Rimfire 22 so reset is not really that important. Its a nice trigger. The stock trigger was good at 2 lbs so I expected the Timney to improve already good target results. Targets are the same or if there is an improvement you need a microscope but that might be because of my finger placement. Would I buy again? No. Would I advise against buying it? No. If a curved trigger suits your needs I am sure it will feel the same as the flat as long as you dont have the type grip that I have. Angle grip might be better with this trigger.

I initially received this barrel damaged with a dent right where the barrel nut would be securing it to the gun upper. I reported it and filed the dent off of it. After mounting it, I took it to the range and I can tell you that my barrel likes all kinds of ammo. Most importantly the cheap stuff!!! This barrel is accurate and functions flawless. I am extremely pleased in how this barrel mated with my newly purchased Ruger RPR 22 LR. That gun is so much fun to shoot!!! I wanted to shoot it with the stock barrel first but with the damage to the Shaw barrel I felt it was necessary to mount it right away in case I had any problems with it. I recommend this barrel for any replacement to the Ruger RPR 22 LR. Great craftsmanship and fit perfect!!!
