    XLR Evolution Review

    First and foremost, I would like to thank Kyle at XLR Industries for his incredible customer service and dedication to putting out a great product.

    Now on with the review.

    After about a year of having my B&C Tactical Medalist, I found a need for something different. What started as a casual perusal of rifle stocks turned into a full blown need for something new and radical.

    Low and behold I came upon XLR Industries through a posting on this site and fell in love. A couple months and a summer job later, I had enough cash and placed the order with Kyle. Again, cannot stress this enough, great customer service and incredibly easy to talk to.

    Fast forward three weeks and I received the stock, along with an AICS 10 round magazine thrown in as an apology for a slightly longer build time than quoted (a couple days, which he then shipped out 2 day air to make up for, great CS or what!?).

    Threw the whole thing together with ease, realizing my scope mount (EGW 20 MOA) was about 1" too long and would not pass the locking section for the forend. Quick trip to a saw and everything fell into place perfectly as it should.

    Just an FYI, for those of you wondering, I'm running TPS Super-Low 30mm rings and they just barely cleared.



    Went out to the range today, and the thing was incredible. Got several looks from other people at the range and explained all about where I got it from and the features.

    Had a couple friends with me who had never shot rifles before so I started to teach them a little bit of what to do. Cycling the action on this rifle is now worlds better than the standard internal box mag. Mine always used to catch and scratch the hell out of my brass. This is no longer a problem, every time I cycle the action and put a round in the chamber, it's like butter.

    Heres a short vid of a three shot rapid fire at 150 yards:

    Did have the joy of discovering why you need to press check when using mags though haha.

    Newbie taking his first shot on a rifle, needs to keep his head down




    Overall, this stock was well worth the money. The construction, tightness, DBM system, and feel is simply put, stunning. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in a chassis system with an affordable DBM configuration check out the XLR stock.

    I apologize for the poor quality videos, but it's all the cell phone could produce.

    If I missed anything feel free to ask.

    Best part of buying that stock is it comes with its own complimentary jar of anal lube! There were several flavors to choose from, regular, hot cinnamon, or bacon. Im a man of danger so I chose Hot cinnamon to use with my bump fire buttstock.

      +1000 for Kyle at XLR!! Here is my 338 lapua magnum that I put together using his custom evolution cassis. I have used HS precision, AICS, and now XLR. I will definately be putting the XLR's on future long range builds, they are extremely nice, lightweight and adaptable.

            Whad does a short action 700 version of this stock weigh without the bipod, but with a 5rd AI mag?

              Im not sure but mine is a remington long action and the chassis by itself weighs 2lbs 6oz. Fully loaded with everything minus optics including 5rnds of 338 is 11lbs 8oz.
              Not sure if that helps

                Is that 2lb 6oz for the handguard tube, the chassis and the buttstock?

                If so, that's very very lightweight.

                        Ah no sorry about that. That weight I gave was for the handguard tube and chassis without the buttstock
