Now that's reasonable. My ultra light mountain rifle is 7.5lbs with the optic, suppressor and 4 rounds in it. Under 8 on a chassis... probably be 8.7ish similarly. Not bad.I just put this on my tikka 6.5cm stainless with Zeiss conquest v4 and total weight, incl magazine is just under 8lbs
Nice. Did it come with LOP spacers or did you have to buy them? How durable do you think the built-in carbon arca rail is?
22” barrel, 33 oal foldedNow that's reasonable. My ultra light mountain rifle is 7.5lbs with the optic, suppressor and 4 rounds in it. Under 8 on a chassis... probably be 8.7ish similarly. Not bad.
How long is your barrel and what's the OAL with the stock folded?
Came with 4 LOP spacers. I used 2 as shown. Rail seems solid but carbon is strong till you chip it. Time will tell…Nice. Did it come with LOP spacers or did you have to buy them? How durable do you think the built-in carbon arca rail is?
Agreed. But originally the chassis were so heavy it was just better to deal with the traditional stock.If lite weight is the goal I still think carbon stocks will win over a chassis. For a lite-ish weight and folding the chassis are king. I think the XLR takes the lead there IMO.
Well just got mine installed on my sheep rifle. I had the proof elevation stock on there with the Hawkins Hunter DBM... ultimately the proof stock had very poor ergonomics in my opinion and I couldn't consistently shoot the rifle. Net weight gain with the MDT magazine and chassis was 4 oz. Went from shooting the rifle about 1 MOA to now shooting consistent .5 MOA groups. Love the chassis. Only thing I would change is probably being able to buy the folder component separately but it sounds like that is not an option for now.
I really liked the look of the traditional stock but the chassis sure if functional.

Locks up tight.To anyone with the folding stock: Is there any play? Or does it lock up tight? I am really hesitant to drop the dough on this if there is play in the stock...
Follow up to this... jut carried this rifle while living out of a backpack for 13 days in the Brooks Range in Alaska. Absolutely love the chassis and it is a pleasure to carry. Only thing I would change is getting the folding version. Way easier to put in the tent and night when raining/snowing and easier to attach to pack. Weighs a bit more but worth it in my opinion.Well just got mine installed on my sheep rifle.
