XLR Atom Builds

[ElevateIdaho]

Let’s see the builds!!

Recently scooped up an XLR Atom chassis and am looking for some inspiration for a future build.

Let’s see what y’all have! Post pics, specs and any other info you’d like, if you would!

Happy hunting!

I’ve been looking at the Atom chassis, I’m just worried the fore end is too short to make shots off my backpack reliably.

Similar concern of mine, but my addiction couldn’t pass it up lol.

Thinking of building a compact 22 creed on it, so deer sized game and smaller. Don’t know if the fore-end will matter too much, but hard to say until you use it in the field.

Atom knockoff (for tikka) for 2/3 the price. Works great, especially with spigot and bipod out front.

Probably won't see alot of Atom builds on here. There is no real weight advantage to it over the Element 4.0 so it is hard to justify the Atom unless one is building a SBR in the 12 - 14.5" barrel range.

14.5" 22 ARC on a Kelby Atlas Lite or something similar could be cool. I'd go with the Element 4.0 though if you want to keep barrel length above 16".

That’s fair! I know there’s many in existence. Arrowhead and Viking Armament have built a pile of them.

I have an element already and love it. This is in addition lol.

What do you suppose you’d get for speeds out of a 14.5” ARC? I’ve seen a few 300 Blackouts in a similar set up.

Yup. They make a pic rail rear end for a folder now too. A bit more $, but a neat option.

I’ve been impressed with mine thus far. On a kiddo 223 build for AR stock short LOP.

yea I had a ultradyne ud5 before and i've done a couple builds with the cheap outlier chassis including this one for my kid. I have the short and med forend and I like the longer forend though. more area for support when building field positions off a pack.
