I am starting on my shorty hog hunting rifle. I have my new SH4 Gen2 4-16MIL on order, as well as my new Outlier full chassis assembly. I will be posting updates to this project as things move along.
To start with, I know that this isn’t going to be a super light rifle, as that was never my plan. My intention for this rifle is to be a short, handy, agile, hog gitter!! The end goal, is to have as many parts of this project as possible to all be Arken and Outlier!! Below is the starting specs for the rifle, and may possibly change as I go along… pictures will follow…
Savage 10FCP receiver with Accutrigger
Arken - SH4 G2 4-16 MIL
Arken - Halo low rings
Seekins - 20MOA scope rail
Outlier - Micro SA chassis
Outlier - 15” M-Lok ARCA rail
Outlier - 16oz adjustable buttstock
Outlier - 16” SS fluted match barrel in 6.5CM
SilencerCo - Harvester30 suppressor
Precision Underground - Kryptek cover
Weibad - Mini cheek pad
Ergo - Tactical grip
Atlas - BT10 bipod
MPA - Rat ARCA sliding bipod adapter
MagPul - M4 tactical QD sling
MagPul - AICS 10 round magazine
Wow! Sounds like a plan! Good luck with it. I’m way overdue to go hog hunting again!
@Sarasota_Joe I’ve only been hog hunting 1 time, and we didn’t see a thing. I am hoping to get a hunt put together as soon as the “Gitter” is put together!!
@Sarasota_Joe Nice snag by the way!!
Gonna be an ass kick'in rig!
@Joey Sweet That is my hopes. I am pretty excited about the possibilities!!
Have you received your outlier chassis? I'm considering purchasing one for my R700 SA. They look great on the website but I'd love to see one first, or atleast get a customer review.
@larrymdeckerjr No, I haven’t received any of the items that I ordered yet. As soon as they start to arrive, I will be updating everything with pictures and reviews.
@dkrat243 good deal, I'm really interested in th chassis
@larrymdeckerjr I am pretty anxious to get my hands on it!!
OK, how about an update?!? I received my shipping notification on my scope, the SH4 4-16!! It won’t be long before the Gitter starts gettin together!!
@dkrat243 I'm waiting to see the Outlier chassis in a real photo, over the CAD looking images on their website to decide between the Outlier or the Oryx chassis for a .308. They both share similar features, though the Outlier has a replaceable buttstock which is good considering neither chassis has an adjustable height buttstock pad.
@larrymdeckerjr According to the website, the buttstock is fully adjustable. I will know more of the details soon!!
Update: The stock itself is a fixed LOP for the moment. It does have an adjustable cheek riser, but that's about it. I spoke directly with the Outlier crew, and there is an adjustable in the works. Release date is unknown at this time.
I spoke directly with Mike Benedict. He is making me hopeful the chassis will be in my hands soon!! 👍
Looks like it will be around the end of the month when I get it. Stay tuned!!
With the coupon, it comes in around $350 I think. Thats an excellent price for a turn-key chassis
@larrymdeckerjr I agree completely!
OK, along with the scope has arriving, I now have the Precision Pack and rings. Things are startin to look up!
Has anyone heard anything on ETA for the chassis? Going into month 6 and still no word on when they will start actually shipping orders. Website still shows 3-5 week lead time but that clearly is way off.
@Reed Snelson Latest I’ve heard is the Savage and Remington SA chassis are basically done. They just need to go through the anodizing process, and should begin shipping pretty quick after that. I know I‘m ready to complete my Hog Gitter build!!
This is what I have so far. I got the EP5 in, Arken Halo Low rings, as well as the Outlier chassis. However, it is put together with my Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 16.5" heavy barrel. The barrel is new, but it will be replaced with an Outlier barrel once it comes available to me. So far, it shoots pretty well. We are gettin there!! Here piggy piggy piggy!!! 🤣
@dkrat243 glad someone is actually getting a chassis. I paid for my chassis on 3/10, still not shipped. I have been told so many stories on why it’s almost laughable. honestly if they werent so much cheaper than others they most likely would not be in business anymore because people only put up with this cause of the cost
@reedster05 Get in touch with them at info@getoutlier.com. Find out what's goin on!
@dkrat243 yeah it is an axis chassis. I send an email every 2 months trying to give them some time to “fix” the issues. Get a different answer each time. Last note was I am number 49 in their shipping queue and estimate 1-2 weeks for shipping. That was 4 weeks ago. At this point I think it will be at the year mark before I see the chassis. I’m curious how many people have actually got the chassis, I’ve only seen yours and one other person that posted a review of the chassis.
I they might be focusing on a new sco
You must be working with a Tikka or Axis or something?
From my understanding, it has been some sort of programming issues with the longer type actions. I know that the Savage and Remington short actions are shipping pretty regular now. I am sure they will get you fixed up as soon as they possibly can though.
@dkrat243 mine is a short action not long. First time it was shipping any day, then it was they were having quality control with all the savage and rem chassis and had to do a redesign and they would ship shortly (don’t know how you redesign and ship quickly when it’s taken 9 months to produce the first design). last was it’s in the shipping queue. We shall see, I know it will be nice, and the only reason I’m still waiting is because of the price. Since I ordered this I have built 2 other rifles with mdt chassis.
@reedster05 And speaking of the new scope, I am definitely looking forward to getting some time with the new 1-8 LPVO. I have several rifles and a couple of pistols that are just screaming for some of that new glass!!
@dkrat243 yeah, should be able to get the new scope by next summer haha
