Best bang for your buck! - XLR Element Chassis w/ Tactical Lite Buttstock

TC's Review of XLR Element Chassis w/ Tactical Lite Buttstock
I have always wondered about chassis systems but never tried them out until now. This one went on a Remington 700 5r gen 2 300 win mag and replaced an HS precision stock. The HS precision is a great stock but the one that came on this rifle was a little too close to the barrel for my liking. I researched a ton of chassis systems and ultimately settled on this one for the price. You won't find a better quality chassis for the price with everything this one comes with. I noticed a huge improvement in how the rifle handles which translated into better accuracy. The pistol grip and adjustable cheek weld helped me get the rifle set up exactly where it needed to be and I don't have to worry about sponges and tape or any of the things you have to do with other fixed stocks.
The chassis is well balanced and not too heavy or too light. It's slightly heavier than the HS precision but you won't notice laying down with it. It's very stable and designed to use a bag, you just pull it closer or push it away under the stock to adjust elevation. I used the magpul acs-l magnum mags and they work great in this chassis. The butt pad helps mitigate recoil very well, even with the 300 win mag, lesser calibers will be really easy to handle. The only thing that I can see as a potential negative is the padding on the cheek rest. It works well but tends to hold on to dust and anything else that comes into contact with it. It is comfortable and I'd rather have it than not but it likes to collect things.
I highly recommend this chassis. If you have a rifle that shoots well but you're ;ess than pleased with the stock this will only make it better. Make sure you use a torque wrench or a torque limiter and mount this properly to your rifle.
Pros:
ergonomic
GREAT PRICE
well made
Excellent finish
Cons:
Cheek rest padding collects dust, hair, etc.
Probably not great for carrying long distance
Best Used for:
competition
long range
Bench rest
Would Recommend:
Yes
