Right question at the right time. Cutting the main body currently. I'm hoping to get them all done by end next week.ignore the bit up front, thats parts of the machine fixture points
3d printed parts as a mock up

Great work! Keep us updated, are you using the magazine or creating an internal box?

Uses the internal folded steel mag.

Any reason the length behind the trigger was extended? ARs and most chassis short trigger reach is one of the big ergonomic benefits (especially with the more vertical grips used on chassis) seems thats lost buy having the grip mount that far back. I know its probably a bit late for you but something to consider in future.

Good point i never noticed that, the howa has a very straight trigger which closes that gap further by the looks

Done finally. A bit of a labour of love.
Has a QD pocket in the rear and threaded for a sling stud
Recoil pad for larger calibers unlike Elude
That barrel is 22" so a bit silly looking, will be chopped.
Uses the box mag

Have 3 or 4 available.

Have been asked about what mag it takes,. Just the internal box steel mag.
Obviously in the pics it's sitting higher due to spring pressure.
Theres a slight chance a 3d printed plastic one could be made. Unsure it's longevity though. Nylon or carbon filled probably be ok

Could you machine the chassis to accept the factory mag? Otherwise id have to look at the 3d printing option which probably makes it unviable

I haven't seen the factory mag. But the chassis is all done and anodised. No more machining to it.

** just looked at the factor mag online. So it has a metal box and then plastic bits around it.. Wonder if they can be easily removed?

What does it weigh including the barrel and action?

O duh I missed it above
that would mean my 300WSM would be all up around 61/2lb incl scope, that may make it a handful to shoot well

74mmx31mm x 20mm

Lengths the same, other measurements seem different, but it tapers so a little hard to tell. Wonder if a spare can be modified

31ish at the tallest/back side. Id think spare kimber hunter mags to be quite thin on the ground

It would be very cool if these could take a Kimber Hunter and their detachable mag.
