Anyone catch the shoot to hunt podcast ? I saw a clip on social, stating the lightweight chassis was not a good fit for anything 300prc and up. Anyone experience problems?

I had more problems managing recoil in a chassis with 7PRC vs a traditional stock. The chassis are awesome, folder is nice, etc but I felt like felt recoil was increased using one.

FWIW, I had a Christensen MPR folding chassis that I shot very well. Christensen's muzzle brake is extremely effective though. If I was not using the brake, I was using a suppressor, so I never shot it without recoil reduction.

I had a lightweight 300 Norma in an XLR MG and the action screws would come loose pretty frequently, magazine would fall out due to recoil about 20% of the time. Not a good combination.
