You won't regret either one.I'm 90% sold on the XLR Element. I just seems to have great reviews and the weight is moderate. Unless someone comes up with something so amazing that I can't pass it up, like a sale on a McRees that is super awesome, I believe it's how I'm gonna go.
What are the mystery parts? Can you describe this? The LSS is shipped with only 4 pieces of hardware, except Savage chassis which get 1 more piece:Speaking of MDT, I have two LSS chassis which include their skeleton buttstocks. One is a folder, the other fixed. My only complaint is their folder does not lock when folded. Well, maybe one more complaint; they need to provide an instruction addendum for Savage short-action chassis which explains what the extra mystery parts are for, would save some frustration. I've made that frustration known to my dealer.
If the LSS does not heve enough meat upfront, look at the LSS-XL or the HS3.I have looked at the MDT LSS chassis and there doesn't seem to be enough meat up front to make me happy and the Tac-21 has some rough reviews from actual owners mostly due to the scope mounting position moving a bit
FWIW, thank you for giving enough of a crap to chime in and personally deal with a customer issue. I think that that's amazing.What are the mystery parts? Can you describe this? The LSS is shipped with only 4 pieces of hardware, except Savage chassis which get 1 more piece:
- Front Action Screw
- Rear Action Screw
- Pistil Grip Screw
- Washer for Pistol Grip screw
Savage has 2 different bolt spacings on their short actions. We provide an oval washer to allow use for both bolt spacings with the same chassis.
I must have misread. I will go back and take a look and let you know.If the LSS does not heve enough meat upfront, look at the LSS-XL or the HS3.
As for the TAC21. Where did you read that? The scope rail is one-part with the action housing. It is impossible to move. (which is why the TAC21 has improved accuracy up to almost 30%)
You are absolutely right. We added this to the newest release of our instruction manual. Our apologies that you received this without it!My beef concerning the mystery part is not about the part; it's that the generic instructions make no mention of the mystery part. A simple Savage addendum could solve this. I'm not a gunsmith, how do you expect me to "know" what the washer is for?
That hole is not there to allow the sling stud to go through. That hole is to attach a quick-release sling mount. Like these: http://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...ncle-mike-s-qd-100-sling-swivel-prod8892.aspxBTW, the fitment of the front, short, pic rail section is is very, very tight. There is no way to retain the factory-installed sling stud with the rail section. In other words, the sling stud must be removed in order to install the pic rail section. Why CNC a hole in the pic rail when it's not going to allow the rail section to be installed without removing the sling stud?
Good to know, but where in the documentation would I learn this?That hole is not there to allow the sling stud to go through. That hole is to attach a quick-release sling mount. Like these: http://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...ncle-mike-s-qd-100-sling-swivel-prod8892.aspx
Bikemutt. Our apologies for this. The rails are sold as having flush cup sling mounts built in. We really did not think that people would try to fit these over-top the sling swivel stud, as is a direct replacement. (rail mounted bipod vs stud mounted bipod). However, that is exactly why we try to get involved as close as possible to our customer, by participating in these forums. We will also add this to the documentation.
