What would you say the biggest difference between the two chassis are, and why you picked those two instead of say, something from ACIS or MDT? Still learning...
Sorry man, I'm just a beginner at the precision game. I got the Cadex Chassis because a sweet deal came up and I'd already ordered the XLR. I went with the XLR Carbon because it was just a bit more than the XLR Evolution. I got the XLR Carbon Chassis because it eliminated the need to glass or pillar bed the receiver into the stock, it came already able to accept magazines instead of getting bottom metal for a standard stock, it had an adjustable stock in terms of comb and length of pull, and it completely free-floated the barrel. I did some math and I could have accomplished the same thing with a standard stock, but it would have been a lot of work and not a whole lot of difference in cost. Why didn't I get the AICS ro MDT? I didn't do enough research to consider the AICS (just assumed it would cost more) and well, the MDT one was nice, but I wasn't thrilled at the idea of having extra steps to remove the bolt for cleaning.
I love the XLR Carbon Chassis. The cost wasn't over the top, and so far it's performing great. The Cadex is in a whole different class. Cadex helped Remington develop their RACS (look up the Remington XM2010 or Remington MSR) and further developed it into the Cadex Strike 30/Strike Dual and now they have a pile of new chassis check out their website). Anyway, they're quite a bit more, but the advantage over the XLR Carbon chassis is a folding stock that locks into the folded position, and it's also fully adjustable without tools. The other major difference is the roller bedding they developed:
Best to check their website or the thread on their chassis system because I'm sure I'm leaving something out:

Hi Arrow & Chris ,
Just looking at your Badger actioned rifles , and why are you guys running the Rem700 AICS magazines ?
And why not the AI AW mags ? , I have a Badger M2008 and I have had it set up to run AW mags , and it can also be set to run AICS mags , just not at the same time , as they lock up at slight different heights .
Cheers Chris

Thank you! No worries...I haven't even booked a course yet (budgets and stuff), but know that precision long range is where I want to get to, and so may as well learn all I can.
My first attempt at something for target shooting:
Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical .223
EGW 20MOA rail
TPS 1-inch rings
Bushnell Elite 5-15x40mm scope
It did alright in it's first outing. I'm pretty happy with the groups so far (center-to-center at 100yds):
.72"
1.14"
.98"
.92"
Excuses: cheap American Eagle 55gr FMJ ammo, terrible non-grid lined targets (pistol targets), flexible Caldwell plastic shooting rest. Next time will be different as I have 62gr match ammo, proper sighting targets with grid lines, and a couple sandbags. I want to get consistently below 1" now that I know I can before I think about triggers or bedding the action in a new stock.

Reloading is definitely in the cards, just curious if I should be discriminating against lesser brass. I have nearly 500 rounds of white-box 55gr FMJ and a few boxes of varmint ammo which should be a bit better for consistency. I managed to get a box of Hornady Superformance Match as well, saving that for a second or third outing.
Is it me or is decent match ammo hard to find? Been hoping to find some 62-70 gr match ammo and I can't find much anywhere
There aint much for .223 factory match ammo options. As for brass, factory stuff is ok and can be prepped well for better performance. There's plenty of info on this in the reloading section. Weight and/or internal volume sorting, neck turning, primer pocket uniforming etc can produce very good results out of otherwise cheap bulk brass. It will turn your 500 pcs into a much smaller pile however

Remington 700 Police in .308 with the heavy 26" barrel with Mpod rest (bipod) and NightForce NXS 5.5-22 X 56 with the MOAR reticle.
Thanks to Jack from P&D for the great service and great deal! btw.... P&D has a really good selection of the NightForce NXS line. They won't last long (I got the first one).
