PRS Chassis Question

[garandman]

I have all 3. They all work well for me .





You want both length of pull adjustment and cheek riser adjustment. As long as they lock up solid, you're good. The XLR certainly does.

For a budget build... KRG. Youll love it. Put the savings into your glass.

I have the XLR Evolution with the extreme butt stock. Love it. It fits me perfect. Solid platform. The stock works exceptionally well on the rear bag and with the added Teflon tape it glides very smoothly.

I have yet to see a post that says a chassis won't shoot. Handle a few, pick what feels right. I have an MDT with plastic side panels for cold weather. Benchmark barrel on a trued 700.
I put an $1100 dark, blurry 4.5-30 Bushnell on it. Then I tried the $600 older, clearer, brighter 8-32 Bushnell. No change in accuracy, lots of 10 shot groups at 1000 under 7 inches vertical. Never less than 6. I'm pretty sure a scope costing thousands more wouldn't be any better without improving my shooting and reloading..

An old duffer with a 6x elcheapo $200 scope won our second rimfire BR match last Monday.... 248 / 250 score and 14x. I had a 4.5-30x Athlon on my gun. ( I won the first match, got 4th in the second match, which Mr. 6x won) Others had 46x Sightrons, and other high $$$ optics. Its still the indian, not just the arrow. You really can't "buy" match wins.

I've been eyeballing the Oryx chassis. I'd like to see one in person and handle it.

After owning several different types I settled on the krg bravo as well because it is a hybrid cross of a chassis and conventional design. It has a removable attachment for the bottom of the butt to provide either a flat or tapered surface, depending on how you are shooting.im finally satisfied.

I like my KRG Bravo Chassis.

Maybe magpul is a dirty word around here, but their pro 700 chassis is top notch in every regard. It is solid in every way. Does not have a built in arca rail.

Old thread I know but what discipline of shooting would a flat bottom better for, vs a tapered like on many hunting rifles ? I recently made the switch to a flat and am having a hard time getting used to it. Thanks

Flat works well when you are shooting at a single target and you have time to make adjustments to the rest, such as FClass and bench rest. Otherwise a taper aids in making vertical adjustments but detracts from accuracy potential.

I would say that if you're going to build a PRS specific gun and want the up most performance I would stray away from folders. Over time I don't care what brand it is but it will develop some kind of play. I would say spend the money and go with either one of the MPA Matrix lines or the MDT Elite. Both of the chassis and companies are on the for front of the competition in the chassis scene. If you get a Chassis I would highly recommend getting it bedded by a reputable gunsmith.

While I think you may be correct on this for PRS, my experience with my XLR Evolution and its folding stock on my 308 FTR rifle has not had any issues in over 6 years is that is is as solid today as it was new. It also has and adjustment that should it loosen, I can adjust to remove it. Only did this once in this time frame. Different venues have different needs.

Maybe the riggers of the PRS game with the shooter having to move to different firing position could also add a great deal of stress on the folding system.

Ive found that if it can come loose it will. I try to eliminate all these possibilities. Personally i dont run a chassis but have serval friends that that do. My one piece of advise is become very friendly with red loc tite
