I recently picked up a TSP-X in 6.5 PRC. It's a fantastic chassis and very rugged. My folding mechanism had a bit of play, so I removed the green section, making it a non-folding chassis. The recoil lug set screw was a bit loose, but that wasn't a big deal as I tore the chassis completely apart anyways. I modified the trigger spring to reduce the pull weight (cut off 1 turn of the coil). I torqued the everything down based on the specs on SCSA's website. I just started load developments for it and groups are around 0.5" at 100 yards.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

That sucks yours had play in it. Good to hear everything is working great now. Thank you for the comment

[@koopsjunta]

Just had my Lithgow LA102 (.223) paired with the Oryx chassis. Had to take to a gun smith for fitting - absolutely was NOT a simple drop-in. Then had the issue of the MDT AICS mag jammed in the well - also requiring a gun smith’s expertise. However, now it’s all together, it is a truly amazing rifle.

[@johnhammered3321]

Just got the tsp x last week. Glad i made the right choice. Is a bit on the heavy side but i'm a big boy so i can handle it. All the features you mentioned made my choice over ruger easy. 6.5 PRC recoil is like my .243 so stock pad doesn't matter to me.👍

[@SuperSneakySteve]

Your channel tells me everything I want to know about these rifles. Awesome job!

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Thanks for watching

[@roadblock2486]

Great review. I was torn between the two and the review compared everything that I would look at.

[@deanbrownq4650]

I just dropped some money on a TSPX IN 22LR sight unseen and this vid just gave me the confidence that i made the right choice, and as an Aussie its Australian made...

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Good to hear

[@markfung5654]

Thank you. I was having a hard time deciding between an oryx and a tsp x.

[@rpk5250]

Great video and excellent reviews. Your content is excellent. I happen to have an oryx chassis with a savage 110 ultralight dropped in it. I like it so far but may look for some thing that is lighter

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Thank you. 😊

[@sethchandler1271]

I was looking at both. This was very helpful! Im definitely going for the tsp for the mini action!

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Glad I could help

[@sethchandler1271]

Any idea where to buy just the mini action chassis ? I cant seem to find one...

[@Bullets4Bucks]

@@sethchandler1271 actually not sure. Hmm. Let me search

[@sethchandler1271]

Thanks man!

[@Bullets4Bucks]

No mini action available in the USA

[@mikemchugh949]

Good video and very informative, however I watched it a few hours too late. I found an Oryx in a pawnshop today and brought. I love it and I needed a 1000 yard gun

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Both will work

[@linkchen8245]

Nice review, I have never see 26in versions but ill be all over for the extra velocity LOL

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Yeah i like it

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I do not think they offer it in 26in anymore though

[@Ruweisat]

Great review, as always. I’d love to see Howa TSP-X & Tikka T3x TAC A1

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I gotta try one

[@bluetidesexperience]

Thanks for the video!

[@damianmoskos2299]

Hi b for b, have a plastic and poly metal mags by mdt work great in my oryx but their steel mags r no good need to modify if i am going to use that one.

[@notmkr-busta2937]

Fun fact southern cross small arms are making there own pump action .223 that takes ar mags with pretty much the same chassis

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Sounds sweet

[@notmkr-busta2937]

@@Bullets4Bucks hopefully I’ll take anything that I’ll be able to shoot fast

[@damianmoskos2299]

Have a rimfire howa m1100 tspx orded looking forward to getting it have two oryx chassis with howas mounted in them, the m1100 stock is really crappy so the tspx will b a welcomed upgrade.

[@gabrieltrudeau5977]

I own a oryx in 6.5 creed 26" barrel and l am very very satisfy it's very accurate with a 120 grs otm

[@trev3690]

Aparantly they are bringing out some different colours on the TSP-X chassis in early 2021.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

That sounds cool

[@nynoah]

Do you have any clue what happened to the TSP X chassis version. I want a folder and I can't find it anywhere.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

No they have a tsp h now though

[@krimson122]

9 months late for you but for anyone else unable to find one... you can get a barrel action from Brownells and then purchase the TSP-X chassis separately.

[@trev3690]

Hello again, which ones more accurate? I’m in New Zealand and the TSP-X is about $50 cheaper, although it’s not folding.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

That is strange my TSP-X folds. Both are accurate couldn't really tell you which is more accurate. They both shoot great.

[@trev3690]

Here in NZ you can by an ad on for $140 that makes it foldable.

[@trev3690]

My only gripe with the TSP-X is that it only comes in black. The oryx has a nicer colour scheme.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I'm also in New Zealand and I'm currently looking at picking up a Howa 1500 rifle.

[@moejoe831]

What are your thoughts on the Oryx in terms of weight for hunting?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Its ok but not in my opinion as easy to carry around as other options

[@gez4270]

Hi, How do I install the bipod of the Oryx? Do I need to install a piccatini rail?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Get a m lok bipod or adapter to mlok

[@gez4270]

Got it! Thanks for pointing me to that!

[@gez4270]

@@Bullets4Bucks thank you! I have a follow up question regarding the picatinny rail for the scope. Which one did you buy/install? I've bought a couple basic ones on Amazon and the nut to install the rails onto the rifle does not fit the two holes on top of the rifle. The holes are smaller than typical American guns it seems.

Hi. Forgive me for bothering you, but I have a request for help. I am writing to you from Poland. I bought a Howa 1500 6.5 PRC rifle on an ORYX chassis. Unfortunately, I do not have magazines for it, because in Poland the sellers do not know what magazines I should buy. Could you please help me and write which magazines will fit the 6.5 PRC and the ORYX chassis from the Howa 1500? If the MDT, could you please write me the MDT number? Best wishes Darek

[@Bullets4Bucks]

The howa oryx uses the MDT chassis and I believe the 6.5 prc from Howa is a long action. You can use AICS mags or mdt mags

[@siinnovation7598]

@@Bullets4Bucks Thank you very much, I have to ask only at MDT which magazines are for the 6.5 PRC long action. The ones that unfortunately are on the MDT website and that I bought, dedicated to 6.5 PRC, are for short action. I will write to them and wait for a reply. thank you once again

[@bragespillerminecraft2990]

Which one would you go with today?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Tsp x

[@KTharp445]

What bipod is on the oryx in this video?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Magpul

[@DreamSounds558]

Considering that Oryx is half the price I think that is the best choice. Its not plastic by the way, its Polymer.

[@kaitheguy8437]

I wanted to get the Howa Oryx in 6.5 PRC. That thing is so dang hard to get ahold of.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Tsp is definitely better but more expensive

@@Bullets4Bucks probably due to them being made in Australia, high manufacturing costs here & a fair distance to ship to USA would have to have an impact.
