The match X exceeded my expectations

Brought out my match x and an XC to compare them today.

First time shooting the match x. I changed the trigger and bow in the match X to an atlas, swapped the grip to the Stacatto XC grip that I had stippled, and bolted a holosun 507k to the top.

Stacatto XC, has been lapped, red dirt trigger, egw match ignition kit, aluminum grip frame, 507c.

The match X was less picky with ammo than the XC, shot flatter, and the 4 other people I was with all agreed shot faster and better with the match X.

I am NOT saying the build quality and parts quality is better than the Stacatto but I’d be damned if I said it wasn’t one of the best 2011s I’ve shot in a long time. Ejection was fine and doesn’t need any initial corrective tuning, the comp works EXCEPTIONALLY well.

Both were ran with 115, 124 and 147gr today.

The match X took 115 much better than the XC. Both loved the 124 and the XC was on par with the match X with 147. I put about 400 rounds through it this morning to break it in.

I am impressed. Take this as you will as a 2011 nobody but I would recommend trying one of these Turkish poorcattos out for yourself.

(Atlas Gas pedal installed for the pics, not actually used with it)

The biggest misses with this thing are:

• the rmsc footprint, I need a bigger window as the 507k will not do.
• the pic rail is out of spec and I can’t properly mount a -b or -a SF light. Will need gunsmithing to correct
• aluminum frame and not steel frame.
