All orders placed during the Black Friday sale were given a 20-25 week lead time. That means we are currently between weeks 11 & 12 of that. There are a LOT of orders that were all placed during that week, so we are not going to be able to tell you exactly when your order will ship; and just a...
I ran this on my hunts this year and really liked it. It only adds a couple of ounces to your rifle/pack and its super handy when you want to be ready without having the rifle in your hand.

There is not enough material to integrate a QD adapter on the forend of the Element or ATOM. We integrate the QD adapter on our Envy Chassis but we wanted to shave as much weight as possible on the element. A lot of customers decide to go without a sling and just strap the rifle to their pack...
Kelbly actions are great actions for the weight (and great people to work with). The shouldered barrel vs remage & barrel nut accuracy debate is never ending but you can assemble everything yourself with a shouldered barrel the steps are just a little different. If you are taking it to a smith I...
There is only one manufacture at this time of our knowledge making the 3.560 length AICS magazine for tikka long action chassis and that is MDT. So the magazines we sell are those magazines that you will need for the chassis. So, wherever you purchase the magazine, it will be the same magazine...
The issue with a non bedded stock is when you get into funky positions that put pressure into different areas of the barrel. I always recommend free floating if you can! If you are crafty then I would just free float the barrel then put 1/8-1/16" of tape around the barrel and bed it. Then you...

You will find some gems with almost any manufacturer. I have a buddy with an origin that will run with any other action but I have seen others that dont run great. Most impacts and lone peaks are very smooth though and thats why they have a great reputation.
I would go to the Laramie or Price UT match. For your first one, Price is going to be an easier match but Laramie is a better venue. The Larkspur match is new this year but the property looks awesome. I am not sure about the Burris match since its at a new property this year.
I would recommend...
Unfortunately its just an issue you run into with the Polymer magazines. They are not easily tuneable like the metal magazines. You can file the front of the feed lips to open them up but go slow since you cannot add the material back. If you have someone locally that has tuned a lot of...
As you said, the forend not being milled just creates a weak point on a high stress part of the chassis. I am not sure how they lock it together but it can be done properly. It's similar to an integrated rail on an action vs a non integrated rail. Screw on rails work but ive never seen an...
I have been using the Aziak Frontcountry and Backcountry for a while now and really liking them. The Frontcountry has a cool pan tilt feature for glassing. Tricer tripods are also great options.
It boils down to the features you want and how much weight you are willing to carry. There are a...
I think its obvious from the picture but Kinport Peak Rifles is the one cutting those magazines down. They have done the Tikka mags and metal XM/Medium mags. The customers who have had one done have all been pretty happy.
The ATOM is a super cool chassis if you are mainly shooting off a tripod or building an SBR. If you are wanting to have a versatile system the Element 4.0 is going to be a better chassis for you. There is only a 1.5 oz weight difference. Let us know if you have any questions or need anything!
