Hey all,
I'm in the market for my first rifle. I'm going to go with a 26" Howa Barrelled Short Action in a 6.5 Creedmoor with the aim to be getting into target shooting at all ranges. I like the ballistics, effective range and lower recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor.
After a few weeks of research I like the MDT XRS, MDT LSS, KRG Bravo (in which case I'll just get a Howa Bravo) and the Howa TSP-X. On an aesthetic level, the MDT XRS is my favourite as I like the stock/chassis Crossover Hybrid look, so I'm leaning towards that.
Anyway my questions are:
On the MDT Website, it says the MDT XRS fits .223 and .307 magazines, does this mean it cannot be used or made to fit a 6.5 CM mag?
Among the stocks/chassis that I listed, would it be a mistake to go with the XRS over the other 3? Am I missing out on anything major by not using a full chassis system in terms of accuracy and function?
And as I'm still discovering new chassis/stocks every day, are there any other Crossover systems in the a similar price range as the XRS that I may not have come across yet that people would recommend?
Here in Victoria, the longest ranges I'm aware of are 500m in Little River and 2000m in Mildura, if there's any other's I'm unaware of I'd like to know about them.
Thanks!
