Savage XLR .260 and .308 MDT LSS

This is my newly minted .260 Remington long range rig. Savage varmint action, lug and nut from NSS, Shilen 24" 1:8 twist Varmint barrel, XLR Evolution Chassis, Vortex 6-24 PST, AD Recon mount, Glade Armory bolt handle, PTG bolt head, Triad Tactical stock pack, Atlas bipod.

LSS is shown wearing my 22-250 26" barrel which is not what will stay on it. It's too **** long. I have an 18" .308 barrel waiting to paint.

XLR and Action wears Magpul OD Green Cerakote. Barrel, nut and lug in Graphite Black.

Those are beauties!!

I keep thinking harder and harder about one of those chassis.

I wanna see the MDT LSS with 18" tube.."

Which butt stock is on the MDT LSS ? how much was it?

I'll post the 18" tube tonight after I get it out of the oven. That is a Magpul CTR with the 1/2" riser. How much was the LSS? $399 plus $25 for the fixed stock adapter if you go that route.

It was the Magpul CTR that I was wondering what it was and how much. I send MDT a email yesterday seeing if they are going to run some lefties. They said if they get enough orders next year they are planning on it. So I may end up rounding up some mags and the buttstock in the mean time. I really want two of these. I will just have to work some feedlips for the 22-250

What's the barrel length on the LSS chassis?

When will the pic of the shorter tube be up?

They look awesome. I am waiting for action and CBI barrel from NSS to show up myself. I have a Mcree chassis and Bushnell HDMR Waiting for the rest to complete my project. I went with 6.5 Creed. Again, good looking boomsticks.

How do you like the MDT LSS vs the XLR, I have had a few XLRs but have wondered if my next purchase would be the newer XLR Carbon or the MDT LSS.

+1 on interested in your impressions of the MDT LSS vs the XLR and other chassis systems.

I've got a Stevens 200 that I got a while back with the intent of using for a general purpose shop 'mule' or test rifle, and/or whacking the occasional 'yote ;) For one reason or another, I've never gotten around to deciding what to restock it with, and the MDT LSS looks pretty light weight, even with having to add a butt stock, etc.

Pretty much all my experience with AR stocks has been stock A2, stock 6-position carbine, and one custom adjustable Match Rifle stock. How is the cheek weld when using an AR stock on a bolt gun, when the cheek piece has to be way back to allow clearance for the charging handle?

Are the MDT LSS pics @ the beginning of the thread with the 26" barrel, or the 18"?

Gotta be the 26.

Another question for the OP... how much does the finished chassis - with buffer tube, Magpul CTR butt stock, cheek piece riser, pistol grip, but without bipod, magazine, scope or barreled action - actually weigh? The weight listed on the MDT site (1.6 lbs) looks like it is for the 'bare' chassis as purchased.

Great looking rifles.
i have an xlr carbon and love it but that MDT LSS is looking real nice for a long action build

What's the weight of the complete gun with the LSS chassis

i have a savage 260 in an xlr element, would love to know how you think the mdt lss compares to the xlr.
