Today I received my @XLR chassis I ordered from Red Hawk Rifles. They are becoming my go to as of late for parts as they ship same day and have a great selection of goodies.
This rifle will be primarily for predators and wolf hunting. Initially I'll be shooting Hornady's 88gr eldm's. I'll stretch it out once I have the dope chart and see how they fly.
I am going to do a review on this Kelbly Atlas Lite with Preferred Barrel Blanks Double hex steel barrel. Here are some of the specs:
Action is Kelbly Atlas Lite SA with 75 degree bolt throw
Barrel is Preferred Barrel Blanks Chrome moly bead blasted 16", 5R, 1:6.5 twist, lapped
Mag is Magpul 308 AICS
I'm waiting on the rail and then I'll be able to mount a scope and get it chrono'd to see what kind of speeds I'll be getting with the 16".
Current weight with empty mag is 6lb 15oz.
I will be shooting suppressed. Kicking myself as after all this time waiting on parts, I'm held up by a rail, and my stupid oversight...
I will continue to edit this thread as I move along the process. Any questions, let me know.
