Thread: Mdt Xrs chassis

3.9 lb will end up making the rifle fairly heavy for hunting. I would look at something like the xlr element to bridge the gap, or a ken Henderson target style carbon number. The target style straight/high comb encourages way less muzzle jump.

Are you shooting off a bipod? Even a technique/hold change might do the trick. A 8 lb rifle shouldnt bto much of a handful in 6.5 creed

Yep shooting off a bipod most of the time and sorry should have clarified, this is more of my cheaper to run plinking/farm gun than my main hunting rifle (have others for this), agree a chassis would be a tad heavy for an all around hunting rig but hoping it makes it a tad easier to spot my own shots on steel within 600m, past that its never really an issue....
