My only minor gripe was the 90-degree bolt throw.

These can be tuned for how high they sit in the action. From the factory, I had to adjust mine slightly to&nbsp;feed consistently. However, once set, the RimX magazine fed without a hiccup. While it is very well made, not having other affordable magazines to choose from when they are $125 a pop is about the only downside I have found to this build so far.&nbsp;&nbsp;But I went into this trying to build the ultimate rifle and&nbsp;spare&nbsp;no expense, and these magazines are top-notch.

Two screws to torque down, and you\u2019re off to the range.&nbsp;This chassis was designed with competition in mind and delivered on every front. For these reasons and many others, it proved to me why this chassis is a top choice for many in the centerfire and rimfire PRS leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"stock of rifle \" class=\"wp-image-217231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1272.jpg 1478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The MDT ACC Premier Gen2 has an adjustable cheek riser and length of pull spacers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vortex-razor-hd-gen-iii-6-36x56\">Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36&#215;56<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some might say a 6-36x scope is overkill for a .22LR, I completely disagree. When engaging \u00bc-inch targets at 50+ yards or steel at 300+ yards, having that magnification and clarity gives a real edge. The Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36 is one of the most proven optics in long-range competition. Its glass is incredibly crisp, the turrets track true, and the EBR-7D reticle is perfect for fast holdover adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"rifle scope\" class=\"wp-image-217232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1245.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vortex Razor 6-36 in their rings, sporting one of their diving board mounts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A standout feature for me was the micro-adjust zero setting&nbsp;that&nbsp;allows for zeroing between clicks.&nbsp;This is a rare feature that&nbsp;lets&nbsp;you get&nbsp;absolutely&nbsp;dialed when zeroing.&nbsp;The scope also uses the L-Tec+ Zero System, making the turret adjustments straightforward and bombproof.

The&nbsp;rifle&nbsp;ran flawlessly. I was holding 13.5&nbsp;mils&nbsp;of elevation for some 300-yard shots, which is equivalent to a 1350-yard shot with a 6.5 Creedmoor.
