Some time back I was in the Northwest, shooting with a friend. He competes frequently with precision rifles, and therefore always has some new cool stuff. Out of the bag came a chassis system I had never seen before, the XYLO from the American Rifle Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9463-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fed a steady diet of Hornady during testing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now at first, I\u2019ll be honest, I thought the XYLO looked kind of\u2026.. ugly. And you may be forgiven for thinking the same. It looks unlike anything else on the market, and that can be a shock to our systems. It does grow on you though, and I find it now to be aesthetically beautiful. To me, it is like a steampunk cowboy bolt action, which I don\u2019t dislike at all. But the looks aren\u2019t the point. The moment I put my hands on it, I absolutely knew I had to have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9458-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flat sides and base work great from Hog Saddle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t some passing impulse purchase, or thing I wanted because I shot really well that day. I thought about it for months. As a big hat tip to their design team, it is hard to get over because it feels so good. I have never liked a chassis or stock system more. And that is true without even having a side folding option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9431-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Integrated Arca rail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting from the front, we have what I consider an ideal length fore-end. At 13 and 3\/4 inches from tip to the magazine, it offers enough real estate to get your bipod out there, or brace off an obstacle. Without being so long as to add unnecessary weight out front. It balances well in the hand as is and has an optional extension for the rail part only. Machined right into the forearm is full-length Arca-Swiss and Anschutz rail, and done so in a very unobtrusive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9430-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flared mag well<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The magazine well is flared for easy reloads and features the best magazine latch I have used. It supports the rear of the magazine, preventing it from rotating up, and locks up even plastic magazines firmly. I tested the chassis on two guns, and it actually improved the reliability of my B-14R. The way it locks up the magazine, and with exacting tolerances in the mag well, made for enhanced feeding in rimfire. That alone impressed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9428-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Height riser adjustment knob<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-oh-that-grip\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oh that grip!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walnut grip is one of the oddest looking you will ever see on an otherwise space-age chassis. But they are not incorrect in their sales brochure when they say \u201cyou\u2019ll understand when you feel it.\u201d It reminds me somewhat of the wooden grips on older K Frame S&amp;W revolvers, and somewhat of an M-14. With, obviously, PRS-driven geometry. It feels excellent in the hand. And the feel of walnut does take you to a mentally different place when rifle shooting. It is a detail that sets the XYLO apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9427-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Machined cogs are visible when in up position<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buttstock is also incredibly well thought out. It has a length of pull range from 12.75 to 15.75 inches, with 2 inches of that accessible from an ingenious locking lever. This isn\u2019t some recycled AR-15 part, it\u2019s unlike anything else. Pulling on the center of the buttstock, what looks like a support pillar, deploys the stock from a closed position. The 2-inch segment of quick-adjust works in \u00bc inch increments, so it is easy to dial in your length of pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheekpiece is the most comfortable I have used and has a true tool-less adjustment. A large knurled knob on the front side provides positive control. Unlike other height adjustments that rely on friction, the XYLO is geared. It actually has tiny machined cogs that lock up a precise height adjustment, and hold it steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9422-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Walnut grip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More? Yes, there is actually more. Just forward of the mag well is an integrated bubble level, that can deploy left or right. It is far enough forward and precisely placed to be able to see from the bottom of your field of vision when you are in the scope. I have found this to be much easier to use than scope-mounted levels, and I am now quite a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The XYLO also comes with a lug clamp, as opposed to just a cut in the stock for the recoil lug. I will confess I have never seen this before, but I like it. (A normal Remington 700 lug will require the .250 clamp.) This clamp basically grips onto the recoil lug from the bottom side of the chassis, with a torque value. The XYLO can also be used without it if you prefer. But I will say it did actually tighten up the groups on my Bergarra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9426-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bag rider included<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How about tolerances? I would have to say this is one of the best-machined pieces of equipment I have ever laid eyes on. Made from one piece of 7075 aluminum, you can feel the quality of the build. And that isn\u2019t just subjective. As I mentioned, I used this chassis on two guns during testing. My Springfield Armory Waypoint, which has exacting tolerances as well, went in like it was made for it. My Bergara, with perhaps less exacting tolerances, needed some love. In fact, I had to apply a bit of left\/right torque to the receiver (by hand) to get the action screws to line up. This tells me that the screw holes in my Bergara are off maybe 1\/1000<sup>th<\/sup> or so off center. And since my Bergara has been in MANY other stocks and chassis before this and I never noticed, I think that says a lot about how precisely American Rifle Company machines these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_9423-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"XYLO Chassis, Bolt Action Magic\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Quick adjustment notches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">American Rifle Company is a relatively new player in the field, but it has come out strong. If you have a Rem 700 pattern action, the XYLO is worth a look. And later on in the year, we will be taking a look at American Rifle Company\u2019s Nucleus bolt action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
