My thoughts on the McRee...
I am now a huge fan of chassis, I like the functionality and flexibility of them and the McRee fits the description.
Benefits:
Fixed or Folding Version
Long or short fore end
Great Customer Service
Price
Flexibility
Weight
Stock Options
Cons:
Chassis all aluminum ... Want to use gloves in the winter...DUHHH
We currently own 3 McRee's.
They are all the carbine version. They have short fore ends and we have chosen to use the AR stock options. All 3 are set up with Magpul CRT stocks. This allows any of us to use the rifles in any clothing that we need. We can adjust the LOP for the shooter or conditions. This is very valuable to me, my wife, friends and eventually kids can all use the rifles. My wife will shoot the LA at ELR and is comfortable because she can make the stock short enough for her...
The stock system also maintains a lighter overall stock. The stocks pictured weigh 3# 12oz with the stock, cheek riser (magpul) and grip. Add your bbl action and go.
Usability of the McRee is very good. For AR shooters the stock and grip aid in familiarity. I prefer a thinner fore end for positional and alternate shooting. The fore end on the McRee's are narrow, but wide enough to hold a Harris without any movement is you use a Harris bi-pod. They are slightly rounded so they don't dig into your hands. Any sized barrel will fit in the bbl channel. They come with flush cups machined into the forearm, and their stock section if you choose to use it.
The machining is excellent and if you tork your action to the same point, the poi has been less then .1 mil from removal to re-installing the same action.
I have pictured a Rem short action folder, Savage short action non-folder and a Rem long action folder.
