I actually like the thumbless screws because it’s flush so less likely to get stuck but then again they could have put the adjustment knobs on the bottom
It is an excellent budget chassis. The minor faults like the quality of the coating on the aluminium, are not enough to outweigh the advantages. I have two, so far.
There's room to customize it...you can get a qd mlok adapter, you can get it coated to your liking...I agree on the pannels...I wish there was a point for a sling stud on the butstock...will have to make my own... good vid👍.
For a 243 intended mainly as a coyote hunter on a tripod, but with the versatility to hunt deer and antelope too, would you get an MDT Oryx or a XRS chassis??
Great Review Iv got one on layaway S.Precision ll only drawback I see looks like No replacement options W/ But pad Standard /Mil would have been Nice or is there a convert kit?
Have you checked the spacing of the screw holes on the forearm for mounting Pic Rails for your added accessories? Second try removing those plastic sides there could be more holes along the length of the forearm for such as well.
@@Bullets4Bucks Perhaps you should have prior to doing your video. Next time take the Chassis completely apart and know what the options are and the availability of add on attachments that can allow for your needs. Then inform us all what’s available.
I prefer a flat hand guard. I prefer the original AR15 hand guards over the m4 hand guards. To me the flat hand guards feel better in the hand as well as shoot better off of a bench, bag or other objects.
How does the chassis look if you take the plastic panels off? Usable? Could you run it like that? I can only imagine those panels getting creaky with time.
I compared it to the tspx and rpr on my channel. It does not have the folding stock or modularity of the rpr but isn't bad. It does vibrate a tiny bit but it doesn't seem to affect accuracy. Recoil is not bad but thats going to depend on barreled action, caliber and muzzle brake.
Mate what height in scope rings did you use? I am late to the Oryx Chassis as I have just bought it for my Tikka 270WSM and found the scope is way too low now.
does the raised edge of the buttstock rear get in the way of pushing a cleaning rod through the barrel? I understand the cheek riser can be removed but does the cleaning rod bend when it hits the read raised edge? although one can use a brass jab and a fiberglass rod I am still concerned about the rod not entering parallel to the barrel and possibly damaging the lands. any experience with cleaning the barrel so far? also what size cleaning rod do you use?
You have to remove the riser to get the rod through properly and I do believe you have to flex the rod just a very small amount to run it but its not bad or an issue while cleaning mine.
@@Bullets4Bucks so do I but the 783 doesn't have great aftermarket support. I personally haven't liked the boyds stocks. I was hopping this would be the best option. great video thanks again
How does it compare to the TSP X by SCSA? I am try to decide between the two. I’ll probably be useing it on a tikka t1x in 17hmr. Your advice would be much appreciated.
@@trev3690 ummm mine doesn't seem loose and its very well made. Of course i tighten everything up when I get a rifle. It did good testing it out to 1600 yards.
Must be nice to have a QD mount on your butt stock….mine didn’t come with one. So I’ve been trying to figure out how to make that so. Hardly any information or parts listed anywhere about this system.
Aren't the LOP spacers extra and magazines at extra cost? Also the Cheek riser Pad set screws can be replaced with larger knurled knobs , again at extra cost.
@@Bullets4Bucks Then I guess, I am confused by the lack of information of their website! I'd like to buy a stock for my Mossberg Patriot, but from what I can see, the initial price has to go up, significantly, just to get what Boyd's Stocks gives me at considerably less cost.
I got the stock and had issues. It has a hidden screw in the back of the trigger guard that was impossible to tighten properly. It had a lot more felt recoil than expected. It did not improve my groups, and you have to take the cheekpiece off to clean it.

Totally agree
MDT sells the thumb screws for the cheekrest separately for like 8 bucks
Yeah

Thanks for watching
@@Bullets4Bucks I'm planning on picking one up very shortly... ill let you know how it goes...

Great review
Just copped myself a Oryx chassis
Very impressed with it, great quality for the money
Thank you

Plan on painting my own …. Ordering it… and plan on testing all my sa calibers with it…. Let’s go

I have not

Have this on my howa miniaction 222 Remington and 300 win mag, not a light chassis but great fit and steady
Yes its awesome

I haven't removed mine
@@Bullets4Bucks maybe you should , I think you’d be the first vid on UA-cam to show that 😂 I can’t find a vid or pics of the bare chassis anywhere
Nice review! How about the recoil and vibrations? I mean for a .308 for eg. How do you feel it compared to other chassis or stocks?

Its a budget stock

Im not sure at this point as thats an older video. Height should be based off of objective size
For what rifle is that chassis? Tnx
Howa
What’s the rifle behind you in this video?
Howa TSP-X

I'm wondering if this stock would be a good or bad upgrade for a big game hunter? in terms of weight, mobility and other aspects. thanks in advance!
Its a light enough but i prefer a stock or hybrid design over a chassis for hunting.
@@Bullets4Bucks so do I but the 783 doesn't have great aftermarket support. I personally haven't liked the boyds stocks. I was hopping this would be the best option. great video thanks again
Thanks for sharing. How’s this been since the video was made?
Still working good no issues

Tsp x is definitely better!
I think i actually have a video on the tsp x vs oryx
Ok, that’s interesting, I’ve read a few reviews on it that have said it moduler design is pretty week and comes loos easily.

I just whent and watched you comparison vid. It was great 👍

Will this chassis work with ruger american 6.5 prc?
What bipod is on there
Magpul
I guess who have to buy the mdt magazine as well?
No aics mags will work but i do recommend the mdt ones
💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
been a good video if you didnt use so many acronyms
The audio sucks.
Yeah I have been through about 4 mics and a lav and none work good in that little room
