Which of these platforms are the most comfortable to shoot?

What are the negatives of each?

What is the quality like?

I am left handed, but I prefer to shoot right handed bolt rifles.
Let me know what you guys think gunnutz.

I put together a Remington 5R Milspec with an MDT TAC 21 chassis.
My only gripe with the setup is that the safety is very difficult to manipulate.

If you decide to buy tha TAC 21 make sure you get the latest version which is easier to remove the butstock.
It is also $100.00 cheaper than it used to be.
 
Eliseo has evolved from the long range game. It seems better thought out from a precision perspective. It's both potentially lighter and with more adjustable stock, depending on the option you chose. It does require dis-assembly of the barreled action to replace the recoil lug with a recoil washer...head space becomes a concern. It is available either left or right hand, in either short, long or long magnum configurations.
The TAC 21 does not require dis-assembly, but is more expensive initially (stock options considered). I have not been able to ascertain whether the fit is as precise as either the MAK (glue-in) or Eliseo (slide fit with set screws).
Here's the kicker...it's much tougher to order either the Eliseo or the MAK to this country...The TAC 21 is Canadian.
My choice, when I get the $$$, is a left hand from Eliseo...now, short, or long, or the one that does it all?
 
I shoot a MDT TAC-21 chassis and love it............

You can glue in the action or install the action without gluing.............The action fit is tight..........no need to replace the recoil lug...........Comparing price to the Eliseo, the Eliseo Tactical model is $300.00 more then the TAC-21 ($1020.00 vs $700.00).........when factoring in the stock/grip the price would be almost the same.........The best part is that the TAC-21 is Canadian made..... ;)
 
Thanks guys! Keep the info comming!

If I were togo with the TAC21, I would like to replace the butt stock, with the butt stock that the Savage 110BA has.

Any idea of the model number/price of this stock option?

Really liked my mdt 21. Tight and easy install. Very comfortable and the prs stock sure is a winner. Highly recommend it

I've always been a semi auto guy but just took my first venture into bolt actions and the TAC-21 chassis just seemed to fit me like a glove. Had my first real good outing with it today and wow am I impressed. I had shot my sps TAC in the factory hogue stock first and the chassis alone seemed to really tighten the rifle up. Only had bulk AE on hand but very impressive. I think I'm a bolt action convert

I can't speak about the Eliseo, but I love my MDT !
Fits me perfect and accuracy definately improved over the stock...stock. 10 round mags are nice too.
Got bored over the winter and decided to paint it.

I wonder if the MD TAC21 long action version can be set up to magazine feed 3006?
It looks to me that the only options are the .308 family and the 300wm & 338lapua. Does any one have any info on this?
 
I just talked to Mystic Precision, and he says that the TAC21 doesnt have any way to allow the use of a 30-06 length magazine. Darn it! I wanted to stay with a Canadian product, but it seems that may not be possible!

Is it just me, or does it seem ridiculous that there is so little in the way of (30-06 family) magazine options?!
 
Would the members who posted pictures here share there scope ring setups in regard to objective bell size, ring brand and height. Coming from a pretty much all black rifle background and not even owning a standard set of rings all I had on hand that wasn't dedicated to another platform was a Burris PEPR and fixed 10x elite tactical. It worked but not my ideal setup. I'm purchasing a 6-24x 50 scope this week and would like to get it as close to the rail as possible. Thanks.
 
Thanks man, by the looks of your setup(very nice by the way) you are really right to the rail. I may need to use extra highs or just use one of my 30mm pepr's I guess I'll just have to gety optic first and take some measurements from there. I'd rather not have to purchase the non railed forend from MDT at this point.
 
You can use a 300 wm magazine for 30-06, you have to adjust the folds at the top of the mag, I know it works because I feed .280 rem which is a very similar case, out of the 300 wm mags all the time
 
thanks nutmik, heres how she sits right now, scope is far to high off the rail and I have my PRS cheek height maxed. It got me out shooting tho and am very impressed with the fit and finish of the chassis.
