Nice looking rig, I really like the oryx chassis and the Howa action. Mine really like the Hornady ELD-M 123 grain. Still have to play around with some other factory loads.

I got my Oryx chassis. Thought it would be quick swap. Gonna have to dig around and see if I have some tall or extra tall rings.

With the 0moa rail I was able to use low rings with a 50mm end bell on my scope. Clears by about 3/16”

It is not a scope problem. The action sets so low in the chassis it does not lend itself to a good position of ones head.
