Oryx Chassis Upgrade for Your Rifle 

Glad your doing this video. I picked one up for my savage 308 and I love it. It’s a great upgrade.

99% of what I'm looking for on RU-vid gun videos you've got it covered, you definitely are putting in the work

These Ruger's are excellent riffles. Seen a guy who stretched 7.62x39 mm, Golden Tiger ammo to 400 yards. 4" groups

I dropped my American Predator in an MDT XRS chassis. I love it, plus it got me to AICS mags without buying a whole new rifle to get the bolt that's "cut" for them instead of the rotary mags my gen I came with.

6.5cm howa 26" shb barrel with oryx .5" groups at 100m and .223 howa 20" heavy barrelled mini action in oryx .3" at 100m.........fun. spent today doing that and getting some awesome groups. Happy days.

I bought my son an All Weather Ruger American 7mm-08 with a 22 inch barrel. Had him choose the Bell and Carlson stock he wanted which was black with blood vessel texture or spider web red texture. Aluminum in the forearm and aluminum trigger guard upgrade. He loves it and got him a 2x7 Leopold scope for it.

Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Great chassis for the money the Oryx. I put a Howa 28inch heavy barrel action with a Timney trigger in 6.5CM in one. Shoots great and comfortable to shoot. Great vids keep them coming 🤙🏼

Been looking at doing an oryx chassis on a 6.5 grendel Ruger American ranch, so thank you for this video

I bought an oryx chassis , mags and a arca rail for my Howa in 6.5 creedmore during there Black Friday sale last year , got a great deal on everything , quality stuff 👍🏽

Try your factory mag in the new chassis. I bet it works. The predators came with 3 mag options, one of which was the AICS style. Yours looked like it was the correct one to begin with

The Ruger American is probably the most underrated budget rifle out there, my go wild 300 win mag shoots very one inch to 1 1/2 groups at 200 yards not even using match grade ammo and walked out the door with it for $600 on sale

This video just swayed me over magpul’s version of upgrading my ruger ranch 350. Well done!

I wouldn't mind seeing a back to back comparison of a factory stock against a glassed in stock with a harmonic device. I think you would like the results.

I have one of these chassis for my How 1500 Mini actin and have been really happy with it. I have changed the set screws on the cheekpiece with ones with a knob on them to make it easy to use.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it at the range. 👀🎯👍

I have two Orxy chassis, on my Remington 700 and Howa Mini. Both shoot much better with the chassis. I also took the opportunity to swap the trigger for a Trigger Tech while I was at it. Now that is a great trigger!

If you are looking for a video idea. Do a weight comparison and an accuracy test between the stocks. It looks great but It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference!

I have one for my Howa mini but has black inserts instead of green. You can also buy fde inserts. Solid chassis.

Huge difference. Nice job 👍👍👍👍

That's a huge upgrade for the American. I wanna get a 6.5 creedmoor in hunting weight. This is worth looking into. Thanks for sharing.

That has got to be the most free floated barrel in existence. 😆

Looks sweet! I was contemplating on a 223 Ruger American Ranch 16 inch barrel. Later on get an Oryx chassis.

I ordered one of these for a Savage Axis 6.5 Creedmoor on the 21st. The website said a 8 - 10 week wait, but it shipped on the 24th and should be here Thursday. I also ordered the ARCA rail for mine and it'll probably be here next week. I'm excited to get it installed and to the range.

Love this rifle - It is the same action that mostly changed the production long range game 8 years ago or so. So you can buy cheap and build into an RPR basically. I got my 6.5 RAP when they first came out and have been loading and shooting it since (~ 2k rounds or more). 1k is not a problem and my first 1k hit was with a cheap $150 Nikon scope. I weighted down the stock with lead shot and JB weld. It's good and heavy but the plastic stock still flexes some. I moved on to other rifles and recently came back to this one and want to give it some new life so new glass and stock with an arca rail seems like a good start. Great video thx for the review.

Looks sweet! Let’s us know if you see any change in the groups please. I have a 6.5C Predator and if you see any improvement in rigidity/grouping I may have to consider an upgrade. Thanks!

Nice upgrade

I'll be getting a few once I can find a few black ones in stock and it should be close to sighted already you didn't touch optic as long as action screws are torqued to spec it'll be good

I bought the howa 1500 mini in 6.5 Grendel with a 20 inch barrel and that gun is sub moa to 400 yards. I use the 123 gr Hornaday, the 124 gr hammer bullets custom load, and the 129 gr nosler accubond custom load. They are all sub moa with that chassis and barrel. Only drawback is its heavy to be lugging around the field.

I'll have one soon for a Remington 700 in .223. Chose a B&C Medalist for my Remington 700 SPS in 308; couldn't be happier.

Instructions?? Don't you mean Destructions?🤣 I'm the kind of person that tries to put something together 3 or 4 times before I read the Instructions. 🤣🤣

Your videos have made me want to pick up a ruger american ranch in 308 or 7.62x39. This stock looks pretty cool, I might have to try it somewhere down the line. I appreciate your information you put out on all the difftent calibers and loads. Makes it pretty helpful for me to decide on what rounds I want to chose a rifle chamberd in.

Change that trigger spring out, easy to do. I hear there's a video on a thing called RU-vid on how to do it. Trigger spring upgrades can be found on the Ebay... Its also easy to modify those Factory stocks to make them Mo better, n its no hard to do...

wooohhh that ruger looks great in that oryx bet you get some nice comments at the range,keep those vids coming i love them

👍For Oryx chassis. Had a custom 6.5X47 REM 700 built using the Oryx. Wouldn’t change a thing. Shoot it all day at 1k.

I really like that upgrade. If nothing else, it’s easier to tell it from all those Rugers you have. Lol.

That is a impressive upgrade Have to look into that for a couple of my rifles Enjoyed the video as always

The only Ruger American I have is a 17hmr Target model. If the other calibers are like this one... They are awesome rifles. With no wind and using 17 grain Hornady VMAX rounds, this rifle will shoot 1 moa out to 200 yards. At 100 yards it shoots dime sized groups all day. Under 200 yards it is hands down the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. The little stickers that are made to cover up bullet holes on targets... Those are what I use as targets with this rifle. Just don't shoot squirrels with hollow points, or there will be nothing left. That little 17 grain bullet explodes like a stick of cartoon dynamite. For hunting just use FMJs or be really good at headshots.

I would love to set my deer rifle up with one of these chassis.

I ordered one of those for my 22 250 yesterday. I think its a pretty nice upgrade.

All the coyote hunting content needs this 204 and the 22-250. And hopefully some good pelts?

Oh my i rewatched video and heard your comment about hank and i laughed so hard i never thought about it but once you mentioned it 😂i said he does sound like him. I bought a ruger american 30 06 go wild and u were right!!!! It shoots great. Just wish i could get a chassis for it but unfourtanetly they dont make long action chassis for ra.

Awesome af going on my new RA 308 American Thanks I love it

I wish more companies made chassis for long action :/ picked up a 30-06 ruger american and while it's great for what it is, it's a bit disappointing that I missed out on so many options. Should got a 308 but I guess that's a lesson learned. It was Mt first purchase

Arron you bought a New Party dress. I replace my M 38 MN with a Archangel stock and install a Timney Trigger and a Scout Scope . It's not a Budget Friendly freedom stick any more. Good looking unit..

Looks pretty sharp WTW

Itching for one of these for my 300WM MAUSER M18

I'd like one of those for mine but it's a bit unfortunate my in really good condition bsa cf2 is to old for this

Long Live The Republic 🇺🇸 Awesome content @Who Tee Who

Good looking stock. Thanks for the video.

Can't wait to see it on the range!

I am going to get the Oryx for my Savage 110 in 6.5.

I've been wanting an oryx for my TC compass in .243.

It be awesome to see the prc's bronze barrel in the oryx.

I need wood... I went with Boyd's spike camp laminate thumbhole stock.

The "King of the Hill" cartoon is why they call you Hank Hill, lol!

That stock should improve your group-nice looking stock.

Great upgrade

I just got a new savage 110 in 6.5 PRC that is naked. I've been looking at these stocks and will probably get one. I'm looking at their XRS CHASSIS SYSTEM.

Hoot- E- WHO What have you done!!

You should see my Ruger American 6.5creedmoor now it has an MDT XRS chassis and an IBI barrel and a vortex venom scope. It was awesome before but now Its a real tack driver.

I like the second stock Looks awesome

I like the olive drab and black! It looks pretty sharp! Nice change over!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲 Revelation 1:7-8 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

You should do a before and after video on grouping!! See how much of a difference it actually makes

Love mine have it on my 6.5

Just to let you know WTW. Mutiny Machine has a bunch of .410 shells in, and different kinds too. Not bad prices either. Nice video, great content on your channel. God Bless

That predator stock ain't no slouch with the V shaped metal pillar bedding. My TC Compass II .308 Win has metal pillar bedding. But I like chassis. I have an MDT chassis (LSS Gen 2 with folding stock adapter and the SCS buttstock) for my Mossberg Patriot .308 W and it made that a 1 MOA rifle. There is a design problem with Patriot synthetic stocks that hampers accuracy. MDT does not make a chassis with the 7.05 in distance between action screws for the Compass II SA. But their sister company, Oryx does. In fact, when you order it, it comes through MDT shipping. I had a few problems at first and so I put the rifle back in the factory synthetic stock but then I worked out the problem I had and can offer some insight. First off, yes, you need to take the recoil lug out of your synthetic stock, if it is TC or another brand that uses a separate lug that will contact a slot in the action. Other actions have the lug in the action and you do not have to worry about it. When putting the lug in the Oryx, put one layer of duct tape only as wide as the lug on the bottom of the lug. This is shim and will give exactly the right amount of rise to engage the recoil slot on the action. Secondly, you can get the thumbscrew parts to have keyless adjustment of the cheek riser. I did. Do not bother with those because, handy as they are, you will not get it tight enough to hold. Stay with the original set screws and just keep an allen set around. You will not be adjust the cheek piece unless you are changing shooters or scope height above barrel. Third, look closely at the mag. The MDT polymer and even metal magazines have the right gauge of distance between the retension lips at the top of the magazine to keep the round from jumping out. I also have some double stack p mags and those were nothing but problems. Stick with the MDT mags. The 5 round mag can be a bit difficult to extract the mag but the 10 rd allows your fingers better purchase. On mine, I have both for it. Also, regular medium high rings for me, 2 inches center of scope to center of action. I only use AR mounts if mounting on an AR style rifle. No one, not even Falcon Strike, makes a hydraulic pad for these chassis butt stocks. So, and I have seen another shooter do this, slip on a Pachmayr Decelerator. That is what I have. A day at the range is at least 40 rounds for me. No one has asked me how I get average of 1/2 MOA out of this rifle (other than factory accuracy) but my answer would be, practice, practice, practice. And that means shooting and more than 3 shots for the whole day. I also have a muzzle brake on mine. Manage the recoil. A Vortex Venom 5-25X56 FFP scope (35 ounces.) A 10 round mag of 165 gr is about a pound. So, loaded with that mag full is 13 pounds 9 ounces. Still doesn't feel too heavy to me. Full disclosure, I am a big and strong guy, so I might have an "unfair" advantage. Caldwell sling on some QD sling studs. The MLOK on the bottom of the chassis will fit a bunch of stuff. I did not put a bipod on this. That is extra weight I do not need for hunting. I rest in the Primos trigger stick tripod or a handy tree branch. At the range, I sit and I rest the chassis on an old hand towel on a piece of packing foam on my plastic ammo can, getting as close to real hunting conditions as I can. I always zero and practice with the the butt of the stock against my shoulder. I cannot drag a shooting bench through the primeval forests I have. I can recommend the Oryx as an affordable chassis option for any one from hunting to range shooting to long distance competition. Again, stay with the set screws for adjustable cheek piece, don't bother with the thumb screws. Stick with the MDT magazines. Also, follow the torque directions. No one except them would publish needed torque on action screws. And some stocks, like the Patriot synthetic, you will NOT be able to torque the rear action screw anywhere close to what you need. So, with those, the back of the action is moving and sometimes, you are lucky to be on paper. With the Oryx, they will tell you 60 lbs. My tool goes to 50. So, I step from 30 to 40 then to 50. After that, I put the allen head in my regular non torque tool and give it another snug bump.

Don't change the scope height, get a bigger objective scope.😁

Luv that stock I have an American 30-06 changed the trigger spring out with bic pen spring there’s a vid on RU-vid think it says 25cent trigger job for ruger American Around 1 lb mine has been completely safe Saftey works fine been upgraded for 2yrs now even when slamming bolt on freshly primed empty hull never had a problem might try brownells if don’t want to try that and get a lower power spring kit will greatly reduce trigger pull weight be safe god bless

I ordered one for black friday on sale for my mossberg patriot 6.5 creedmoor. Still waiting on backorder

Late but watching rewind. Love those Ruger Americans. 🙏👍😎

Great chassis! I have a Savage Axis on one, sub MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards! And it looks cool as fudge 8)

Pretty cool chassis 🔥🔥

Lol , I missed the AICS mag part... I'm rewatching and just got that answered.

i just purchased my very first night vision scope today, an entry level one $800... Pard NV008p... it's still in the mail system somewhere... perhaps i can own the night with this gadget...

I bought one myself, question how to add a sling connection to the stock? Any ideals man let me know. Thanks for sharing

Put my old 308 remington 700sps in an Oryx chassis... shoots great. Well worth the upgrade!

Man that is super cool I love it

Looking forward to see if accuracy changes.

I noticed that the Bolt sounds lot nicer when you work it Ruger American rifles are nice but I hate the sound that the bolt makes scratchy

Golliee! yeah I still say stufflikat :) Man this is going to make me buy some ruger Americans!

I bought that stock for my ruger American ranch in 300blk and it shoot's incredible. Good luck.

There ya go again... now I got to have one..

I like it for me the stock is the only cheap part of ruger American good to see you tinkering I know you like to stay stock waiting for sight in video

I like that one I have the last krg stock howa had I put it on my 6 creedmoor

That is a sweet looking stock , Chassis , been contemplating one for my ruger go wild. Not sure if it would use AICS magazines!? I'll have to check it out. Thanks WTW.

Thats a nice set up dude

That's awesome. Might have to look into changing my Ruger .270 :)

My best upgrade has been doing away with the rail and installing a DNZ game reaper , lowered my Burris to the perfect position.

I had a ruger american in 243 didn't group all that well sold it and bought a first addition savage axis 243 with a boyds stock it group's better than the ruger.i ordered a trigger spring kit fixing to lighting the trigger pull on it

I think I should have one those for my Tikka t1x 22lr!

Ordered one…: can’t wait buddy

Looks sexy. Just change the scope mount. 👍👍. Definitely a upgrade. Let’s see how she flings projectiles compared to factory stock.

I like my krg from howa on my 6mm creedmore

You can use mini 30 mags in 7.62x39 for your predator. Wonder if it would work with oryx stock. Looks socom ready, can't wait to see it in action.

Nice .would love one for my t3x varmint in .204. Was looking at Mauser M18LR I think it was this at stock standard

I put my Tikka T1X .22 action in an Oryx. Pretty great chassis for the money.

It looks awesome now I really like it I'm getting one

scope is fine, swap out that mount for some rings

🇦🇺😎👍Hey big fella what’s the weight comparison as I’ve bee wondering about buying a few stocks for my Howas ?….. Good video🏁

I wonder if anyone makes a chassis like this that uses standard AR mags. Seems useless if you have to buy special magazines? Just my opinion, or maybe I'm missing something?
