High quality for a budget entry chassis system - XLR Element Chassis w/ Tactical Lite Buttstock

XLR hit this one out of the park. You can tell a company cares a lot about it's product when they put just as much care into the packaging as they do the product itself. The finish on the Element is outstanding and I couldn't find any rough finishes anywhere on the chassis. They did a great job smoothing everything out leaving me with little worries when installing my barrel into the rig which took no time at all. I also love the cutout in the trigger guard for those aftermarket triggers. For those wondering, a Timney 510 for the Remington 700 AAC/SD short action chambered in .308 will fit in here perfectly fine with no need to file anything down. Great job XLR for the ease of installation! This was huge in my book.

The Stock - to adjust this to your perfect comb height and length of pull, get a friend to hold the screwdriver ready to tighten the screws while you lay behind your rifle to find the perfect alignment with your rifle. I couldn't do this easily by myself, but that doesn't really bother me too much. This isn't meant to be adjusted each time you take the rifle out, it's meant to custom fit the owner. I don't knock XLR for this and honestly, once this thing is setup for how you like it, you won't be disappointed. The stock holds true and I don't have any concerns of the screws coming loose anytime soon.

I wish I could rate this at a 4.5/.5 instead of a 4, but the lack of a QD attachment in the fore-end of the chassis (which they have already built into the stock of the rifle which is why I'm complaining) just seems like they were almost done with a great feature but it fell off at some point. I can understand cutting costs to try to ship this out at a minimal price, but I gladly would have paid the $10-$15 extra to have this. Oh well.
