[QUOTE="JTH, post: 3000165, member: 59647"] [I]I had the XLR 4.0 element folder. For reference, I also have rifles with MCS EH1 and LRH, as well as the McMillan GW LR. With the XLR, I had to focus on my shooting form a little more to maintain accuracy, and it jumped a bit more on recoil. I really liked the full length arca rail, combined with a RRS tripod and ball head made for a great stable shooting platform that could be adjusted relatively quickly. And the folding feature was nice if strapping to a backpack, but I couldn’t figure out a practical way to fold it and carry it on the sling (running suppressed, trying to reduce height). Would be nice if they added another sling cup to accommodate this. In the end, for me the cold weather aspect mentioned by others, combined with the slight difference in ergonomics for shooting form, outweighed the convenience of the folder and full length rail, which had me selling it and going back to the stocks mentioned above, which are all in the same weight class. . If I was in need of a function specific rifle primarily used for backpack hunting, going deep with heavy loads and wanting to strap my rifle to my pack, I would definitely have kept it. In that scenario, I think it checks the boxes but I would need to spend more time on perfecting my shooting form for this setup. [/I] [/QUOTE]
