How do the Rock Solid and the PDC balance? With the skeleton butt they look like they would be very front heavy with a varmint barrel or larger. The stocks like the JAE have more beef in the stock might be a little heavier but look like they balance better.
Can someone speak on this?

Anybody on balance?
I won't know for awhile, because my barreled action is still a month or two out....but I will say this. I've done the "balanced" thing with Magpul UBR stocks on suppressed ar15. Yeah, balanced great....and heavy as BALLS. Went back to an Imod, much better. Balanced might be worth something to some folks..maybe flat range or taking a class - stationary plinking at the range. Honestly, I'm not sure what good it really does.
I DO, however, know that if you are routinely doing 4.1 to 8.3 mile hike hunts for hogs over uneven terrain, lighter is better than balanced. Both would be cool, but if I have to choose, I'm going lighter.

This thread is amazing, thanks to those that contributed. Nice to see something stamped out easy to read for all to see.
Nice very Nice!!
I don't have first hand experience but if Todd's resume is accurate, and I'm assuming it is, it's not likely he would compromise balance, especially in a stock designed to handle unconventional shooting positions.
Tag for later.
great thread, learned a lot, and have also seen 2 more recent posts with 2 new stock designs hitting the market that share similar features but cannot find the links to add it to here.

Looking for some advise. I have a sleved Rem action with a 34" lilja hanging off the end ( built by Gre-Tan ) sitting in a Tracker BR stock. I LOVE the gun as is but I have been entertaining the idea of a chassis for this barreled action. I guess my question is which ones would be best for a LONG barrel set-up for ELR fun?

Lot of good info here!

I emailed them last night and they got back to me at 10 PM. They said that they plan on bringing out this chassis for the Tikka T3 rifles. It will be a good option for a lightweight rifle.

Thanks, Ring. I bumped this to the original post.
I was doing some reading on Officer.com and came across the Sisk tactical Star chassis for both LA and SA Remington 700's. It seems like a nice chassis for someone who prefers more of a tradition stock, it offers a lot of adjustments, and is machined out of aircraft grade aluminum.
Does anyone have any experience with this chassis?
Here is the link to officer.com. The S.T.A.R.:Fitting the Rifle to the Shooter - Officer.com
And a link to Brownells who has the chassis for 1299, the only place I could find it for sale

Glad I read, I was just about to order an XLR for my Beanland 260, and I'm not gonna have the rail cut off period. I guess my next choice is Rock Solid. But I shot my 1st group with the HSP and factory Rem 140 core lokt's shot a 4 shot .081" @ 100yds, so I'm thinking about just keeping it in the HSP for a while now. I do like the Mcm, and Manners better than any, but $ is a big issue for me.
Has anyone actually handled one of these yet? I'm interested to see what sort of machining they have done for the action inlet. Is it the flat surfaces of a typical "V" block? Or is it rounded to better mate with the curved surfaces of the action?[h=1]MDT LSS Chassis system for Remington 700[/h]MDT LSS Chassis system for Remington 700

Thank you so much for this quick reference list of frames for bolts.
I think I have fallen in love with the looks of the J Allen Enterprises JAE 700. Does it have an aluminum frame? Does anyone on here have one built as I would love to see the pictures. Wanting a 20 inch barrel and suppressor. Would love to also know the dimensions.

Here's a link to their website where you can find all of the answers

can this be made a sticky ?
The rock solid to me seems front heavy. I do have a MTU barrel so just about every chassis would be front heavy. There is not a lot of weight in the rear of the stock, unless you have an bag off the rear.
Looks like another Mcrees in my future.
Thanks for putting together this thread, lots of great information in here. I am looking for a chassis folder for my 20" 308 and looks like the Mcree might be in my future as I am on a limited budget. I was wondering how guys liked that stock? Thanks
Best Regards,

Can't say how pumped I am to see the LA Winchesters offered FINALLY.
