Re: Chassis Vs Stock
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jonathan H</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I've been doing a bunch of reading on different chassis (chassi?) and stocks for my first long range rifle build, and it seems that the cost of a chassis vs. a good stock is a bit of a wash once you look at everything. The chassis gets you the detachable box magazine bottom metal (and often a magazine included), and does not require bedding. Add those two things to the base price of the stock you are considering, and then compare the cost. If you are after lop and cheek weld adjustability, the balance tips in the chassis favor. If you want a folding stock, I think (correct me if I'm wrong please), tge chassis is your only choice.
Chassis do run heavier, than what you can get in a stock, but the XLR is pretty close.
The wait time for many stocks ( I'm leaning towards a Manners mini-chassis now) us pretty far out, while a number of chassis systems are in stock and ready to run once you receive them.
Anyways, those are all of my thoughts and considerations. </div></div>
Great reply, thanks. I just priced out a manners with the options I would want and it came out to just over $1000 which would be more than the chassis (Whiskey 3) I want is anyways but are there any real performance differences between the two?
