@Ryan Avery has a 33xc in one that weighs 9lbs.
Good lord! I'm flinching just thinking about that.

I spoke with a few experienced shooters recently who've run heavy hitters in the element 4.0 and Hnt26, they all said its significantly more difficult than a good vertical grip CF stock.Good lord! I'm flinching just thinking about that.
Only been around a couple chassis. Have found that I dont really like one that has an AR style grip on it. I much prefer it to be more along the lines of a KRG bravo.
What action are you going to run? I’m getting closer to narrowing down what I want, I just haven’t started looking at components.I spoke with a few experienced shooters recently who've run heavy hitters in the element 4.0 and Hnt26, they all said its significantly more difficult than a good vertical grip CF stock.
Glad I did some research before taking the plunge

Man I went round and round, and after talking with a few highly respected smiths I sprung for the Bat Vesper from Unknown munitions.What action are you going to run? I’m getting closer to narrowing down what I want, I just haven’t started looking at components.
Ergonomics, recoil absorption, fit, Yada YadaDid they explain why?

There goes 2/3 of my build budget
Dang! That thing is sexy. I was looking at the igniter for 1100ish. I don’t know if I can bring myself to drop 2k on an action. I need a rich uncle to kick the bucket!Man I went round and round, and after talking with a few highly respected smiths I sprung for the Bat Vesper from Unknown munitions.

For the most part yes.So is general thought that it's more of a bedding issue than a chassis vs stock issue? I know a lot of high end comp shooters bed their comp gun chassis even with 6mms to combat loss of zero.
I was doing the same comparison, basically it came down to what each action offered.Dang! That thing is sexy. I was looking at the igniter for 1100ish. I don’t know if I can bring myself to drop 2k on an action. I need a rich uncle to kick the bucket!
Stop it! Those are all the arguments I’ve given myself to justify spending way too much on an action. lol!!!I was doing the same comparison, basically it came down to what each action offered.
The igniter is chrome molly and has a blued finish, and weighs 34 oz with rail.
The vesper is supposedly machined from the hardest stainless steel ever used for an action, weighs 26 oz, has an integrated rail, and comes with a black nitride finish.
In the end I figured the action is for ever so might as well do it right, even if it slows my build by a few months...
Just picked up my new rifle in .300wsm 1/9 with a XLR E4 short action chassis. It's a really sweet rig, just need some time to set it up but I'll post pics/weight when I'm done.
Shoutout to Alamo Precision Rifles! They're really awesome to work with. If you're interested, this is the package I got - https://aprifles.com/products/apr-tomahawk-1.
Fort Worth dude here, with a rifle chambered by Alamo , and they have some nice builds on MPA chassis. Great shop. Can’t go wrong with them.Nice! Looking forward to the pics.
I'm in Fort Worth and have 2 Alamo rifles and a deposit in on my 7 prc... it's a great shop, and being local it's hard to even look anywhere else.
I appreciate all of the responses, it's pretty evident chassis vs stock boils down to personal preference.
