6br build question

[bobcat93]

As the time draws near for me to receive my 6mm. Barrels from keiger. I need to make a decision.
I would really like some input.
My plan is to build a 6mm br repeater.
I would like to use a XLR chassis system, and a kelbly kodiac action . if I go this rout I'm stuck messing with accuracy international magazine to get them to feed 6 mm br rounds properly
I really want to use kelbly to build the rifle because they are close to my house. And I like the idea of supporting a local manufacturer.
My other option is to use the elesio chassis system and have no messing around with the magazine but have to use a steel action instead of an aluminum one.
Kelbly says the aluminum action are much better and produce less vibrations and better accuracy..
What should I do?..
Oh..and I'm a lefty..so that wacks out a lot of cool standard stocks..plus I like the tube gun look.

I built mine with a Kreiger also. I decided to use either a Manners minichassis w/BO bottom metal or an HS Precision with CDI botttom metal. The reason for using dbm, was that in order to make it feed from a box mag, I resorted to using a .223 box and spring and modify a .308 follower. Found it wasn't very reliable (nose dives or bolt ride overs), so I modified an Accurate mag I had laying around instead of an AI mag. I put a spacer in the front of the mag and shortened the follower. Works great for me. Although it is a pain to load up, because of the length of the round.

Are you suggesting I use the eliseo rifle chassis or the XLR chassis system and not use accuracy international magazines?

I'm just saying what I did. Besides, the HS and the Manners were all I had around at the time.
I used the Accurate mag only because I thought it to be more budget friendly for experimenting.

Eliseo is a proven system.

Gary E. provides a great deal of support.

Check the winners circle at match results.

Did I say the Eliseo Tube gun is proven ?

But , you may have a pioneering spirit within you. ...........

but I digress.

I'm sure you may have read this, but this article is what first got me interested in the 6br. Ended up going the dasher route, but, it appears the repeater question is figured out. Also don't know why an atlas action wouldn't work for the tube gun either....Kelbly made mine, but it went in the single shot. f-class route.

Yes, that is the article which first
opened my eyes to the product.

Then, when I forgott my ammo for a match a very kind
friend loaned my his Tube Gun, in 6BR, and his ammo.

Now that's a friend........ I shouldn't say his name
but his initials are C.U.

Anyway I was hooked. Tube guns and 6BRs. Understand I was coming off of
a semi-auto.

Eliseo all the way for a repeater! Gary is great to deal with. I've shot a single feed 6br for years now, and wanted
a repeater for Tactical matches. Couldn't be happier.

my 6BR Kreiger barrel is ready for my weatherby vanguard to pick up (using my 243 barrel as a hunting one now as its worn out for target duties)
i have mine in a XLR chassis which i just gave a paint job too


i haven't done the mod to my AI mag yet but i will be buying another mag to mod as i still need one for my 243 rounds but will single feed for now as it is mainly my target rig

Ahhh
Killer Bee Yellow.

What kind of finish ?
(dura-coat or other ?)

haha yeah it was just a cheap paint job as i wanted to see what it looked like
just epoxy enamel paint with a few clear coats onto to give it a bit more protection, actually turned out better than i thought it would
i will take it off later and do the job properly with some better paint
