I can only comment on the XLR Element.  I picked up a magnesium element.  I was going for light weight.  I am quite happy with it.  Holds the barreled action securely, mags cycle fine, pretty light, nice little add-ons available.  Lead time was LONG (between 5 and 6 months I think). 

Not cheap!

Will be swapping out the scope at some point.  just needed something on it to sight it in and do load testing.

Dang that looks good. I ordered mine a couple days ago, in tungsten grey. XLR currently has 300$ off a 1000$ purchase for Black Friday this week. Current lead time is 6-8 weeks. Looking forward to it!

That is a great lead time!  I ordered last Jan and it was a 20-25 week lead time.

Dang that’s a while! Yeah luckily much improved.

I have to make an edit tho, I referenced my confirmation email, it’s 6-10* weeks. Still not bad!

There places that have them in stock pretty frequently that can be had for not much more than the XLR Black Friday sale.   :twocents: I had one to my door in three days. Put it to work this week.
