Perfect Fit
This chassis fits my Howa 1500 SA 308 Win heavy barrel perfectly and it is strong and light. Finish of this chassis is perfect too. I have tried a couple of AR 15 mil-spec buffer tubes, palm shelf ergo grip and it all fit. The last thing I put on is a Vortex Viper PST ii 5-25x50 scope, 25 moa base with 0.82” center height rings. The clearance between the bell of the scope and the barrel is less then 0.2”.
Great chassis
Bolted this thing to a Remington 700 in 300 Remington ultra magnum the second I found out Accurate Mag was making a magazine for it. It bolted up perfectly in under five minutes. Fit and finish are Great. Great product.
Would recommend: Yes
Exceeds Expectations
When I put together my first chassis rifle I’d already concluded that 6.5 Creedmoor was the best caliber for the kind of target shooting I do (400yd steel), and I was impressed with the price and performance of the Howa 1500 I owned in .308 Win.
I ordered a Howa barreled action in 6.5 Creedmoor, and bought an MDT chassis in their LSS-xl model. There’s not much to complain about for the price of the LSS-xl, it’s a nice chassis. When I decided to accurize my Howa in .308 Win I assumed I go with the MDT line. Then I began seeing ads and videos for the XRL Element which sold for the same price, but the XRL didn’t require its own magazines (it would take my AICS mags), and the style was closer to MDT’s HS-3 which is significantly higher-priced than the LSS-xl.
I began researching the Element and found most reviews favored it over the KRG, a $800+ chassis. It would take an M4 or A2 stock without an adapter, and OpticsPlanet had the Element for the HOWA 1500 on sale for $400.
When I assembled it I was so impressed with the XRL I switched out my 6.5 Creedmoor and put it in the Element and put my .308 Win in the MDT chassis.
I had no idea how much it would maximize the potential of the Creedmoor round. It just fits me better from the size of the trigger guard (too large on the MDT allowing my finger to slip under it), the length of pull and the magazine feed which was a problem for the LSS-xl even using MDT mags. My accuracy is not only improved, it shoots better with less e...
