XLR INDUSTRIES | REMINGTON 700 MOUNTAIN CHASSIS
A Full Chassis System in About 28 Ounces.
The XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium Chassis for the Remington 700 short action is machined from AZ61A magnesium and paired with a folding carbon fiber buttstock and carbon fiber ultralight grip, for a complete system weight of about 28 oz. An integral ARCA rail, M-LOK slots, a built-in bubble level and AICS magazine compatibility make it a true do-everything mountain chassis, finished here in MultiCam.
Every ounce counts when you're climbing for a shot, and most precision chassis are built for the bench, not the backpack. The Element 4.0 Magnesium changes that equation. Magnesium delivers the rigidity of a machined chassis at a fraction of the weight, so you can carry a precise, fully adjustable rifle into the mountains without hauling a heavy competition setup. Fold the stock for the pack or the truck, then lock it out and get to work.
Lightweight Without Giving Anything Up.
The chassis block weighs roughly 16 oz on its own, and about 28 oz with the carbon fiber buttstock and grip. The forend carries an integral ARCA rail with an RRS-style dovetail, so bipods and tripods clamp directly without a separate rail, while M-LOK slots handle lights, sling mounts and accessories. A built-in bubble level helps you stay plumb on long shots. XLR's multi-point radial inlet provides a precise action interface without traditional glass bedding, and the AICS-pattern magazine system accepts the most common detachable magazines on the market.
The system is also modular: it accepts AR-style buttstocks and grips, so you can adapt it to your preferences as your rifle evolves. The MultiCam finish blends naturally into mountain and timber terrain.
Complete Your Mountain Rifle.
The chassis is AICS-compatible, and the magazines are your choice. We carry MDT's proven lineup, including the MDT AICS 10-Round .308 / 6.5 Creedmoor Magazine, MDT AICS 5-Round Magazine and the low-profile MDT AICS SA Flush-Mount 3-Round Magazine that's ideal for a slim hunting setup, plus the Magpul AICS 5-Round SA Magazine. Clamp an ARCA bipod like the MDT Ckye-Pod Gen3 Compact straight to the forend, and browse more upgrades in our Remington 700 Parts & Upgrades Collection.
Shooters comparing lightweight chassis also look at MDT, KRG and Manners. For a fully machined magnesium chassis with an integrated ARCA rail and folding carbon stock in this weight class, the XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium stands out.
