AFAIK, the correct reach depends on the bone-structure of your hand.

@MDT_Josh is the Acc Premier Gen 2 going to have a folder option?
Really, I like my setup as is. The PRS1 is a great stock and the grip distance is not an issue as I have larger hands. Always been a fan of Manners. Right now my SA is setup as a hunting rig in 6.5prc with QC barrel and bolt for 6.5creed.
The modularity and customizability of a chassis have always been on my radar.
I am considering just a fresh build on another Zeus or possibly a LA, but really just want to try a different direction.
Looks like their will be an ACC Folding Chassis
MDT ACC Folding Chassis System
The Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) ACC (Adjustable Core Competition) Chassis was designed around an integrated, modular system of weights which allows the shooter to customize the balance and mass of your rifle to maximize the performance and minimize felt recoil. The MDT ACC Chassis
www.altusshooting.com Sure, but we are talking the difference in this measurement, not the bone structure of the entire hand.
There's not a ton of variation in that measurement even from pretty large hands to pretty small hands. Yet the difference in the grip to trigger (using same action & trigger) between a Manners T4 and an EH-1 is about 5/8" difference - at least in my samples. Not to mention, it's easier for large hands to choke up slightly than a small hand to reach out further.
I've had multiple ACC premiers, Elite, & HNT26, and they are on the right path to allow end user adjustability. With all that Manners has done with stocks, I'm pretty surprised that they haven't released an adjustable grip.
Mdt replied to my insta dm and said no plans at the moment for a folder on the Acc premier gen 2.Looks like their will be an ACC Folding Chassis

This is the chassis I’m talking about.
I wish they offered a flat bottom, Integral Arca hand guard.
their new version (as of probably 2020), at least has M-lok, but the round hand guard makes adding an Arca rail less than ideal. You can do it, and it works, but it's not ideal.
The only other thing would be to have the first 4-5 inches of the hand guard open on the top to be able to utilize standard mounts/rings, but that's not a deal breaker either.
I have used mine in plenty of comps, but mine has the old hand guard version so it's difficult to add front weight. Could probably have some custom weights made, just havent done it yet. That's really my only complaint and they are minor.
Im actually considering another one for a Long Action 300 Norma Imp to be able to have maximum magazine options.
My current one is an ARC M7 in 25 Creed I use for windy match days.
Saw @Covertnoob5 mentioned earlier. He has some good chassis reviews on his YouTube channel.
He has reviewed the Mdt acc, mpa matrix, krg W3, falkor roc, and mpa matrix pro chassis.

I don't disagree, but if you want a 90˚ trigger press, you need a fairly precise fit on the trigger reach.
Here is a guy doing a walk thru of a european target rifle's grip...these guys are light years ahead on this subject.

I agree completely and cannot understand why chassis/stock manf are not focused on this absolutely critical aspect of gun fit and hence performance.
Nay, nay....how about today! ;-) haha.
Seriously, you have a back story of something here???
Not initially! We need to rework our folder design to work better with the newer, wider ACC chassis.
Hmmmmm…not in the first top five things I think about re:chassis, but hey, everyone’s got prefs.
Seems like most rifles, chassis or not have got the finish part down so it doesn’t really enter my mind.

I guess what I meant by finish was the feel and quality of the chassis and stock. I don't compete so theres a lot of features am not looking for in chassis like the ones that are probably in your top 5.
I skipped the krg. I ended up going with a Aero Solus chassis.
Ok, I get it. I thought you literally were talking about the paint/anodizing/cerakote etc.
I’m not a competitor either; more of a varmint hunter.
