Great review, let us know how it shoots!

Any update on the chassis. I purchased one also but have not had the chance to shoot.

That pinging sound you hear is because the assembly doesn’t touch anywhere,allowing that tone to play itself out. This is a good thing. It means the barrel/action assembly can freely oscillate,making finding a node more easily.

Took it out yesterday. Was working on 2 different bullets for my .243, the 108 gr Hornady ELD and a 107 gr Sierra. Put ~60 rounds through it and it shot beautifully. Had 2 sub 1/2 MOA groups and a 1/3 MOA with the 107s. The stock felt solid and very easy to work off of. I love the straighter grip and how you can really put -0- force on the chassis as you pull the trigger.

I only took the 5 round Magpul mag and it was tight and hard to seat. I need to just sand down the mould lines a tad and I think it would be much better. My 10 rounder seems to seat easier.

I am debating on pulling the plastic off and painting over the anodizing with some epoxy paint, just to give it a smoother look.

At any rate it didn't hurt my accuracy at all, and may have made it a tad batter. In fact it was shooting so good that I aimed for the push pin holding down my target and melted it into the backer. Still highly recommended!
