Update to my initial review
Update from my previous review - can't find a way to edit that one.
I received the action bolts from Vision REALLY FAST! I assumed it would take a while so I ordered titanium ones. They are the same as the ones sent = so common bolts they are.
Size is (1 of each) M6x16mm & M6x50mm
I got it together and hit the desert today. Discovered the AICS polymer mags DO NOT WORK. My friend had an MDT steel AICS 308 mag and it fits perfectly.
Although on mine the rounds, if tapped all the way to the back of the magazine, don't quite get picked up because the bolt doesn't travel back enough with where the magazine sits. And they fit into the magwell nice and perfect.
I'll just 3d print a thin spacer for the MDT mag I ordered I guess. Could just be my gun? I did attach it at farthest rearward position when assembling btw.
Not a big deal... Small price to pay for the low cost of such a nice chassis. Really can't be beat...
Just know you'll need to grab a $60-70 steel AICS mag unless you already have one.

Missing the action bolts...
So far I really like it. However I've docked 2 stars because it's missing the hardware. As it sits its unusable, so hopefully OP can sort it out for me. If not I'm stuck trying to find hardware and it looks like what it's supposed to come with is a custom offering, so it may not go together the way it's intended using store shelf hardware. Fingers crossed.
It's supposed to go on my T3X lite wideland.
Overall though it's very nice, has no machine marks, sharp edges, or rough spots in the finish. Not impressed with the "recoil lug" just being 3 small bolt heads placed in a row, but we'll see if accuracy is still there.
Note: the factory Tikka magazine does not work with it, and it doesn't come with a magazine, so you'll be magazine shopping if you dont already have the type it accepts. I believe it's AICS. I had a few extras from other rifles I own, so it wasn't an issue for me.
Seems like a good product, especially for the price. I'm gonna pick up one of their Pro rigs if this hardware issue gets sorted out, because that chassis looks beautiful. I really like the way they modeled the stock on it.
For reference, I have 3 XLR chassis (1 Envy pro with all the add ons, 2 Element 4.0, and 1 Element magnesium on order since Nov) - which is clearly my favorite brand!
Killer Innovations Orias (my least liked, but has the best recoil lug design by far)
KRG Bravo
Sharps Bros heatseeker
