Like what?
The only feature on the chassis that looks a bit weird is the internal weights taking up the Mlok slots, which I guarantee there will be a work around for anyone wanting to run additional weights.
I actually think these look really well thought out, the magwell inserts are a great idea, and the ability to swap forends doesn't really exist for any other chassis with full length ARCA.

The only dud being not offering a heavier and/or longer 22lr barrel for the rimfire crowd.

The whole back-end (buttstock to grip) is lacking the important features which make a chassis more desirable than a stock, the ability to configure the rifle to fit the shooter.

MDT ACC Elite



KRG Whiskey 3 Pro (just announced)



Tikka



What I am seeing (or not seeing) on the Tikka offering:

- Very small bag rider area (I'm sure the aftermarket will solve this)

- No rear frame to add rigidity (wobble in buttstock is very bad)

- No buttpad tilt/cant

Very long trigger reach, thumbshelf bit appears to be a token offering.

- If they were serious, AICS should be offered. Even Bergara realises this.

- They could have offered an actual MDT stock like many other manufacturers are doing (Savage, Bergara, Howa). But no, the Beretta way is everything has to be proprietary.


A UK dealer seems to think they will be £1,550 which explains a lot (less than the TAC A1)... https://www.livens.co.uk/product/tikka-t3x-ace-target/
