Seems that chassis rifles are taking over the world, but I could think of nothing worse for a hunting rifle.

I have enjoyed the AR15s I have used, but the smooth lines of a hunting rifle or even that of a "Tactical" thumbhole/Mcmillian stock to me are a heck of a lot for comfortable to a rifle that gets dragged through scrub and gorse, and a lot more comfortable slung over the shoulder.
It look (to me) like the magazine, pistol grip and adjustable but stock would just be things to get caught/dig into your back when the rifle is slung.

Keen to get some feedback from users.

Yup @Beetroot - fondled and thought hard about both the RPR and Tac-1 - before thinking I'd hold out for the CTR with a 24"inch in 6.5 option. As supplied to both the euro and US markets.

Considering this as a hunting rifle and carrying rifle this seemed the better blend to me after carrying chassis before dig in every time they roll around and there's the extra parker-ised stuff to keep and eye on for rust in those weird out of the way places.
