Thread: Chassis for hunting, why are they not more common in nz?

On one USA Gun Forum I’m a member on there is a thread where everyone is talking about a guys “ new build “
The thread is titled “ my new lightweight hunting rifle “
The rifle fully loaded, ready to go weighs 10 pounds .
He is as happy as Larry because that’s nearly 4 pounds lighter than his old rifle .
They all seem to have aspirations of shooting Elk at very extended ranges and although it’s not really ever mentioned, I suspect they drive there in a buggy , walk maybe 300m and sit and shoot .
I tried a Chassis on my Tikka and it lasted about 2 range sessions and it never got carried in the field because every aspect of the ergonomics and weight was just wrong for me .
