NRA Shooting Illustrated: The Frugal Man's Custom Precision Rifle - MDT Mention

Bryce M Towsley, from NRA Shooting Illustrated, recently wrote a neat article that highlighted a complete 6.5 PRC precision rifle build using a Savage 110-style action with a magnum bolt face and an MDT XRS Chassis System. In the article, Bryce takes the reader through the complete build process and then shoots some decent groups using factory Hornady 6.5 PRC ammunition. Bryce discusses all the necessary tools, gauges, and potential pitfalls while building the rifle.

The article starts with an amusing story at the range where Bryce's friend attempts to shoot out to distance with a rifle that is not up to the task. Bryce's friend gets behind Bryce's custom Savage and makes a perfect 500-yard shot. The article highlights what you can do with high-quality budget-conscious components and standard gunsmithing tools.

BUILD BRYCE'S 6.5 PRC RIFLE

• Savage 110 Action with a Magnum Bolt face
• MDT XRS Short Action Chassis
• MDT XRS Chassis Enclosed Forend
• MDT CKYE-Pod Bipod
• MDT ELITE Muzzle Brake
• TRACT TORIC UHD Rifle Scope and Rings

I am a huge fan of the MDT XRS Chassis System and find it one of the most versatile chassis that MDT offers. I teach precision rifle with one, and I use the MDT XRS for most of my hunting.
