Custom Rifle Journey/Review *Pic Heavy*

Even dropping down to a 300PRC or 7PRC the XLR Element 4 with the C6 butt end is a good mule kick. It makes load development with the chassis a challenge......

I’m just not a fan of chassis’ at all. Especially for a hunting rifle. They suck to shoot behind for me.

Same, I feel much more at home behind a stock. I have a 18” barrel 6.5 saum on a folding xlr chassis that was intended for compact transportation and the ability to shoot from a tripod. Outside of it being a tool for a job, my other two rifles with stocks I reach for first.

I was shooting with my good buddy yesterday morning. The one responsible for getting me into all of this years ago lol. He’s got all carbon barrels on his guns. They shoot extremely well. He also had this 33XC. The ballistics were insane with a 300gr Berger going 3100fps. It kicked like a MF though haha.

Had no idea what a 33XC is, but those cartridges look big, and googled it. Pretty interesting stuff.

It’s a freaking cannon basically haha. But he’s actually put it to work on some elk hunts. Hadn’t shot it for months. First round out of it was at 1013 yards yesterday and it was 4” from the bullseye. But we had gotten good wind calls from previously shooting our other rifles before that one.
