I dropped my American Predator in an MDT XRS chassis. I love it, plus it got me to AICS mags without buying a whole new rifle to get the bolt that's "cut" for them instead of the rotary mags my gen I came with.
Great stock if you’re a gunsmith prepare to dremmel relief for safety !when I called mdt with the issues I was instructed to slightly tighten action screws and switch safety 20 times to mark chassis then grind to fit
Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Great chassis for the money the Oryx. I put a Howa 28inch heavy barrel action with a Timney trigger in 6.5CM in one. Shoots great and comfortable to shoot. Great vids keep them coming 🤙🏼
6.5cm howa 26" shb barrel with oryx .5" groups at 100m and .223 howa 20" heavy barrelled mini action in oryx .3" at 100m.........fun. spent today doing that and getting some awesome groups. Happy days.
Oryx doesn't make a Stanag/AR magazine chassis yet for any barreled action. At present, you'll have to go with the [MDT LSS-XL SA AR] or [ICD AR/MoFo] chassis for Ruger American Ranch rifles. Magpul should have a Ruger American Hunter Stanag stock ready for release in the near future.
@@FAtE_454 The Howa Mini Actions do not use double stacked magazines. The LSI/ATI Ammo Boost 5-round magazines for the 6.5 Grendel/7.62x39 Mini Actions are proprietary, pricey and mine has been unreliable (misfeeds 1 or 2 almost every time). Maybe the even more expensive $120.00 10-round Mamba magazines will be much improved (1/3 the price of the rifle per magazine). The cheapest way to upgrade/fix my 6.5 Grendel Howa Mini Action was to buy the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Grendel. The Howa Mini does group well with Hornady (Black & SST) and PPU 120gr HPBT ammo. It's the only ammo I've shot with it.
I bought my son an All Weather Ruger American 7mm-08 with a 22 inch barrel. Had him choose the Bell and Carlson stock he wanted which was black with blood vessel texture or spider web red texture. Aluminum in the forearm and aluminum trigger guard upgrade. He loves it and got him a 2x7 Leopold scope for it.
That sounds like a great light big game setup! Actually the nearly exact next American on my list! Not decided on the exact model of lightweight replacement stock, but a light 7/08 with a 2-7x Leupold, my perfect ‘old guy’ deer and hog rifle. Enjoy that great rig, and good luck! 👍
The Ruger American is probably the most underrated budget rifle out there, my go wild 300 win mag shoots very one inch to 1 1/2 groups at 200 yards not even using match grade ammo and walked out the door with it for $600 on sale
Try your factory mag in the new chassis. I bet it works. The predators came with 3 mag options, one of which was the AICS style. Yours looked like it was the correct one to begin with
I bought an oryx chassis , mags and a arca rail for my Howa in 6.5 creedmore during there Black Friday sale last year , got a great deal on everything , quality stuff 👍🏽
The chassis was $299.95, magazines were 40% off and accessories were 10% off on there Black Friday sale , they sold out pretty quick so as soon as sale went active I placed my order
I have one of these chassis for my How 1500 Mini actin and have been really happy with it. I have changed the set screws on the cheekpiece with ones with a knob on them to make it easy to use.
I wouldn't mind seeing a back to back comparison of a factory stock against a glassed in stock with a harmonic device. I think you would like the results.
If you are looking for a video idea. Do a weight comparison and an accuracy test between the stocks. It looks great but It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference!
I ordered one of these for a Savage Axis 6.5 Creedmoor on the 21st. The website said a 8 - 10 week wait, but it shipped on the 24th and should be here Thursday. I also ordered the ARCA rail for mine and it'll probably be here next week. I'm excited to get it installed and to the range.
I have two Orxy chassis, on my Remington 700 and Howa Mini. Both shoot much better with the chassis. I also took the opportunity to swap the trigger for a Trigger Tech while I was at it. Now that is a great trigger!
Love this rifle - It is the same action that mostly changed the production long range game 8 years ago or so. So you can buy cheap and build into an RPR basically. I got my 6.5 RAP when they first came out and have been loading and shooting it since (~ 2k rounds or more). 1k is not a problem and my first 1k hit was with a cheap $150 Nikon scope. I weighted down the stock with lead shot and JB weld. It's good and heavy but the plastic stock still flexes some. I moved on to other rifles and recently came back to this one and want to give it some new life so new glass and stock with an arca rail seems like a good start. Great video thx for the review.
Your videos have made me want to pick up a ruger american ranch in 308 or 7.62x39. This stock looks pretty cool, I might have to try it somewhere down the line. I appreciate your information you put out on all the difftent calibers and loads. Makes it pretty helpful for me to decide on what rounds I want to chose a rifle chamberd in.
I bought the howa 1500 mini in 6.5 Grendel with a 20 inch barrel and that gun is sub moa to 400 yards. I use the 123 gr Hornaday, the 124 gr hammer bullets custom load, and the 129 gr nosler accubond custom load. They are all sub moa with that chassis and barrel. Only drawback is its heavy to be lugging around the field.
Change that trigger spring out, easy to do. I hear there's a video on a thing called TH-cam on how to do it. Trigger spring upgrades can be found on the Ebay... Its also easy to modify those Factory stocks to make them Mo better, n its no hard to do...
Arron you bought a New Party dress. I replace my M 38 MN with a Archangel stock and install a Timney Trigger and a Scout Scope . It's not a Budget Friendly freedom stick any more. Good looking unit..
I'll be getting a few once I can find a few black ones in stock and it should be close to sighted already you didn't touch optic as long as action screws are torqued to spec it'll be good
Looks sweet! Let’s us know if you see any change in the groups please. I have a 6.5C Predator and if you see any improvement in rigidity/grouping I may have to consider an upgrade. Thanks!
Oh my i rewatched video and heard your comment about hank and i laughed so hard i never thought about it but once you mentioned it 😂i said he does sound like him. I bought a ruger american 30 06 go wild and u were right!!!! It shoots great. Just wish i could get a chassis for it but unfourtanetly they dont make long action chassis for ra.

I just got a new savage 110 in 6.5 PRC that is naked. I've been looking at these stocks and will probably get one. I'm looking at their XRS CHASSIS SYSTEM.
Did you have to remove scope during the installation or it was going inside in one piece without moving scope??? Asking because it's hunting season and don't want to order it now and to have to sight it in after
The chassis weights 4.2lb itself. It adds weight so it might not be ideal for backcountry hunts but it gives a lot of options and stability for longer-range pokes.
I wonder if anyone makes a chassis like this that uses standard AR mags. Seems useless if you have to buy special magazines? Just my opinion, or maybe I'm missing something?
99% of what I'm looking for on TH-cam gun videos you've got it covered, you definitely are putting in the work

How did that aurox work for sighting it in and what was the price
Any change in the weight between the stock and chassis?
The chassis weighs in at 4.2lbs so is usually a bit heavier than your factory stock. It gives more stability and rigidity to your rifle action.
I was wondering the same thing. Thank you Oryx for giving an answer.
@@OryxChassis thanks for the info.
Nice .would love one for my t3x varmint in .204. Was looking at Mauser M18LR I think it was this at stock standard

I'm wondering if it also shoots better inside the Chassis or if its only flashy and shiny.
