Title: redhawk rifle,xlr industry's tactical chasi review(pics added)
Post by: jasnt on April 06, 2014, 08:45:07 PM: Received my rifle from redhawk last week.
Went with a xlr chasi with folding setup. It supports a rem700 SPS varmint in 243 win with 26" varmint contour barrel.

Craig from red hawk was very helpful with all my Q's before I ordered the rifle. During the order he forgot to tell me that the 26" barrel I wanted would not fit in the XLR case, so he called me back and offered a larger case for half off if I want it.
went with a timeny trigger and Tubbs firing pin.

First impression was wow! This thing looks great. After adjusting it it felt great! The hand grip is rubberized and has a great palm swell that fits my hand nicely and lines up my finger to the trigger squarely. Cheek weld has a soft yet thin foam pad that is comfortable to lay your cheek on. I was skeptical of the forgrip being stout but it is very stout. No flex or give, and its length makes it nice with the my bi-pod.

Crown is perfect. Lugs look great. Square and smooth. After fire forming shoulders jumped .005" but brass was .002" under specs before ff. All other measurements are sammi

Worked up a load with 64gr Berger br column bullets and reloader17. Shot .256" 3 shot @100 yards at 3910avg fps. Then shot .625" at 200 yards. 3 min dial at 400 yards and 5min's put me dead center at 500. looking forward to tipping some coyote with this rig. Got it all painted up and ready to go this weekend

Post by: jasnt on April 07, 2014, 07:45:03 PM: think I may need to move my steel plate out to 600 yards. 500 is just not a challenge any more :)

Post by: TVHunts on April 09, 2014, 11:06:30 AM: Nice looking set up and excellent groups. Wish I didn't have to drive some darn far to shoot distances like that. Not much room over here on the gloomy side of the hill >:(
