Not for much longer. This thing(war that's been going on since 2016) goes public in 2023 for and it will move pretty quick from there. I called we will see suppressors in Canada one day probably a couple years ago now but a lot has to collapse and be replaced first. Of course I was mocked, being able to see the future is as much a curse as it is a gift...anyway, we will see if I'm right or not lol. My short barrel low hp rigs are future proofed and waiting for the day we can throw some tbac ultra5's on em. The night hunting for preds I haven't made a prediction on but my guess is we will follow suit there also and we will also finally get to carry and run some AR love too. Canada and USA will become a lot more similar than not when this all breaks loose and cleans up and becomes proper/humanity focused as it should always be.We have some very valuable rights. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people attacking those rights constantly.
Pm me for details on where to send my royalty checks.
I ordered some talon grip tape and installed it. Using it on a hunt next week but really like the fee. I hope it keeps the cold off of the hands.

Thems purdyHaha, I made it in the article.
I am the one that pulled my barreled action in the middle of a hunter match due to a trigger issue. I was not at all concerned about POI shift because I tested it.
I own 4.0 elements and all my hunting and hunter comp guns are wrapped up in them.

I know others who have similar opinions of chassis vs. traditional stock. I like them, but I know they're not for everyone.Bit of a dissenting opinion here but I was not a huge fan of my Element 3.0 for my Tikka. Just seemed to not soak up recoil as well as a traditional stock. Also the Carbon Smoke Composites buttstock was originally designed for AR 15’s where the barrel is inline with the stock and I felt the angles were off when on the bolt gun chassis being bellow center of the barrel. That said it was a beautiful piece of machining with excellent fit and finish, and I do use that Smoke Carbon Buttstock and love it on my AR 15s. For me personally I just like the feel of a traditional stock better.
For anyone using this chassis on a Tikka LA, I did come up with a solution for the heavy metal mag. I bought and modified a Magpul LA AICS mag to work that was 3 oz as opposed to the 3.56 metal mag being almost 8 oz.

Did have to sand the top of the feed lips to get it to ride high enough in the mag well but it fed flawlessly once I got done with it.
Not that is wont feed correctly... but its not going to feed as well as a short action would. I personally have a 6.5 PRC built on a long action and it feeds pretty reliably but I would much rather have it in the short action! It takes a lot of tuning on the feed lips when you have over 3/4" of room in a magazine but it can be done!Has anyone ran a 6.5PRC on a long action in an XLR and been able to feed properly from the magazines? I have a 25PRC I built on a Terminus Kratos and I want to try it in a chassis for my sons. So far I am being told it probably won’t feed correctly.
Thanks

My 7 SAUM in an XLR is a long action as well. Definitely a lot of work to get the AICS mags to feed consistently. Wish someone would come out with a spacer kit for a long action similar to what you can get for a 6 dasher (HRD or MDT mags). I have a friend with a 3D printer that is going to try making one.Not that is wont feed correctly... but its not going to feed as well as a short action would.

Just for clarification this isn't an XLR issue, anyone running a SA cartridge out of a LA aics magazine has ran into it!
The more emails that Hawkins gets about it the quicker it could happen!Now that would be ideal!! @XLR
I sent Nick an email last night.The more emails that Hawkins gets about it the quicker it could happen!
I sent them a message on instagram a few weeks ago haha. Hopefully it gets rolling soon!! We can't be the only ones that prefer to run the short mag type cartridges in long actions.I sent Nick an email last night.
12.5 with folder. The folding adapter will add 1.375 to LOP. I'm the same size as you and have 12.5 with folder, as well as 13.5 with no folder. You can always add butt stock spacers if you need additional length.Looking at ordering an element with a folder, question for those of you with experience, I’m 6’2” with average arm length, either the folder do I need to be looking at the 12.5lop or the 13.5?
Thanks in advance
