    Grs stocks might fit your needs but not sure how lite they are. Do you have a rifle/calibre in mind you want to fit the stock or chassis to

    Is the more vertical grips on Tkka's an option?

    If the chassis is the definite way you want or need to to, maybe have a chat to @robhughes-games, He was looking at further lightweight options when I spoke to him a while back

    How are you getting on with trigger pull etc? Single stage or 2 Stage options?

    Hi Ryan, I couldn't see a way to message you so ill just post here. Id like to send you a stock to trial if it would help, the grip is more vertical but more importantly the cross section and proximity to the trigger may be ideal given the loss of feeling in your hand. A few other ideas I have is that heavy stippling increases stability overall, and you could link in to the sling stud at the rear or flush cup with a short sling to aid. Two chassis in NZ come to mind is one from Robert HG and what's on offer by DPT.

    Rokstok?

    I followed the thread on Rokslide and listened to the podcast about the design of it. Vertical grip, short reach to trigger, designed for less felt recoil all sound very cool. Dog ugly design but by all accounts so far they really work as intended. A bloke built his own out of maple which actually looks really nice I think.

    Saw your Instagram story about the arm @Ryan_Songhurst, glad you lived to tell the tale mate. Hopefully some nerves in that arm can heal themselves and get at least a little bit of sensation back

    chassis tend not to be light, my dpt lightweight hunter is still quite heavy on a t3 lite and is not great for off hand shooting

    what about a more vertical gripped carbon stock, basically the same ergo as a chassis without the weight

    I found the MDT LSS chassis quite nice. As mentioned most chassis tend to be heavier than standard sporter stocks. I found the balance and extra weight of the LSS quite ideal for offhand shooting. Nice and steady not floating around like a lot of featherweights do when your puffed. Was great in the tussock country down south, though I didn't like it as much in the scrub up north with the projecting handle, mag, stock etc. They are not as comfortable to carry in the hand bush stalking as sporter. If usually hunt more open country, carry your rifle with a sling the majority of the time and you can get over the look of them chassis offer a wonderful shooting experience. I would get another....
