Chassis recommendations for Tikka T3x

[coyote13]

Looking for some advice on which chassis to get for my t3x.
Doesn't have to be anything ultralight.

A little context would help. why do you want a chassis? What is the the use case for this rifle? What cartridge? What matters, weight, folder, price?

I like the MDT Hunt 26 with the folder but the cost makes it hard to justify. The carbon is quieter when going through the brush compared to the metal chassis.

6.5 PRC , I like the adjustablity of the chassis system.
Weight really isn't an issue

I like the ergos on KRG bravos more than most AR style chassis and they are conveniently cheaper than most as well and not all metal so nicer to handle in cold weather.

This. Especially if weight doesn’t matter.

Bravo is a solid option with lots of ability to configure different ways (have one, cheapest option)

I’m very fond of the XLR element (have two, mid price depending on how you spec it)

MDT ACC elite Gen 2 has my attention with some solid upgrades from first gen (my next chassis)

MPA makes the BA comp and an “ultralite” that still weighs close to 3lbs but are good options also. (Would be my second choice after MDT)

AI AXMC is top of the price list but also most attractive IMO if you care about that. (Can buy two chassis for price of one AXMC)

Let us know what you decide.

Just shoot us a message if you have any questions about our chassis! We offer the Element and Envy Pro for the Tikka T3 action.

I put a bravo on my tikka, it is my first chassis style so nothing to compare to. I will say I love the way it fits especially the ergonomics of the palm swell and distance to trigger.

Also if you plan on hunting there is no bare metal so it’s not going to feel as cold in lower temperatures

I like the XLR element.

I’ve had a KRG whiskey 3 that I liked a lot. I could never imagine anything better. Then I got an XLR. I don’t have the KRG anymore

I’ll add that not all tikka chassis are available in long action. If that matters, take it into consideration.

Thanks for all of the info guys.
Lots of options, time to start comparing

If noise in the woods is a consideration i would look into a KRG Bravo or an MDT XRS. Either would be a good chassis esq option with less noise than metal and the ability to add weights rails ect.

KRG is coming out with the Echo. Similar ergos to Bravo but takes regular mags and 1/2 lbs lighter. $300 suggested price also makes it appealing. I’ll be picking one up when they launch supposedly sometime in October.
