Thread: Chassis Rifle reviews/feedback

As blair993 said, your application should influence what type of chassis you go for as there arw so many out there now.

Ideally try to handle as many as possible before dropping the $$$$ as they all feel different. Sure most you can adjust butt length and cheek rest height but they they all have their own characteristics.

Ive had a few over the years,

Original AICS- heavy, forearm very square so not that comfortable to hold if shooting unsupported, thumbhole grip not that comfortable for some people.

XLR Element- More of tube gun look with enclosed barrel, lighter that the AICS, can change grip as takes AR grips.

KRG Whisky 3- Heavy but very adjustable other than the grip.

MDT LSS- personally this is best suited to a rifle with a barrel less than 18" as has a short forearm and with a long barrel looks out of proportion. Takes AR grips and butt stocks. More of a multi role chassis. Light weight.

MDT LSS XL - same as above but with a longer forearm so looks better with longer barrelled rifles.

MDT ESS- Can be configured in a lot of different ways as you and choose different butt stock, grips, forends etc so can be built to your end use.

Those are just my quick thoughts after owning the above chassis. A folding buttstock can help with cleaning as the cheek rest sometimes need to be removed/lowered on the fixed buttstocks so you can get a cleaning rod trough the barrel. Not a biggy but something to consider.
