Oryx Chassis Precision Build First Thoughts

[deliverer]

A precision build has been on the horizon for me for some time. Over the last few months I’ve bought a scope, rings, etc, and after I was given a Rem 700 AAC-SD in 308 for my birthday, it all came together pretty quickly. I ordered the new Oryx chassis to replace the HS Precision stock (will be for sale soon ) my gun came with. Ordered it on January 4th, and received it on the 14th. I didn’t get any tracking sent, but it was a nice surprise when it showed up

As this was a bit of a budget build, I thought the Oryx would give me good value and performance, while still looking cool, for my tastes anyway. Definitely did not disappoint! Showed up in a nice box, with the hardware and a little instruction kit. Very impressed with the finish quality, exactly what I’d expect from MDT. Love the look of my gun

Tomorrow I’m hoping to sneak out of work early and get it to a range and see how it handles. It may not have all the features available on other chassis’, but at the price point I’m very satisfied so far.

Nice set up .... what brake you have on ? How's the recoil with that brake ?

Not sure actually, my brother in law upgraded his, and gave me that one. I’ll ask him and try to find out

Nic build and I am excited to see what you think of it after a little tie with it at the range!

A great looking build to get you started!

Took it out yesterday to Stittsville on what started out as a nice warm winter day, by Ottawa standards.. Great feel, length of pull was great, loved the feel of the grip, and tucked nicely into my shoulder. Started out on the 100 yard range, managed to dial it in and get a 3 shot group just over half an inch, so was pretty thrilled. After that, the wind picked up, I got cold and started shaking, and my groups started becoming super inconsistent, so I couldn't properly get it going on the 200 yard, and didn't even bother with 300. Temp dropped 6 degrees in the 3 hours we were there. Can't wait to get a warmer, much less windy day to really put down some nice groups! Definitely still happy I chose this chassis.

Looks good, so what did the stock cost you once converted to CAD?

I believe it was $535 shipped. Didn't pay tax, at least I didn't see it on the bill, so that was nice

###y! I bought an LSS Gen 1 on black Friday (Terrible timing with the release of the Gen 2 and Oryx, don't rub it in.), and am interested to see how this compares.
