A chassis vs. a stock

[tobnpr]

Well then what do we call a fiberglass or similar “traditional-rifle-shaped action supporting fixture” that has a “mini-chassis” embedded in it?

Isn't a "mini chassis" what we used to call a bedding block?

Tom!!! No answer.

A chassis is one of those expensive taticool looking stocks that cost around a thousand bucks. In a few years after everyone gets tooled up, we'll be able to get pretty good ones for $89.95 made from aluminum, fibreglass, and various combinations of both.. jd

I think so?

Of my 2 “stock” rifles and two “chassis” rifles, the stocks were more expensive and none were less than $1000.

A good, High quality chassis can be half that price.

Chassisies are Tacticool
Stocks are COOL

You can drive a Kia for half the cost of a Honda if you want to as well.

My point was once you step away from the Walmart gun counter, it’s hard to argue that a stock is more or less than a chassis.

Yes, you can buy the backbone of an XLR chassis system for $500. But by the time you add a butt stock, grip, some weights, a spigot mount, etc., etc., etc. in order to recognize the full modularity of the system, you’re up to at least $1000. MPA, KRG, MDT? Same.

Call Manners or Foundation and buy a premium Micarta or fiberglass stock: $1500+

Buy a laminate stock blank and have it inletted and bedded: dunno, it’s not my thing but it can’t be cheap.

Well, what started as fun has certainly branched out. And regardless of anything else, nothing beats a beautiful piece of walnut expertly finished. Absolutely beautiful.

This one is in process. Be close to $2000 when finished.
