22 ARC Rifle review Kelby Atlas Lite

[Team4LongGun]

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.

Sweet looking rifle. Excited to see how it shoots.

Bet that will be a sweet rig. I really like my xlr chassis’.

Decided to see what the hype is about and threw a Maven rs1.2 on.

looks like you could use a bag rider for your chassis

From the photo I agree! I don't generally put them on, as this is the only time I'm on a bench for initial zero.
Do you use one?

This looks like a really fun setup, I’ve never shot a chassis but this has me thinking about trying one
