MAGPUL PRO 700 Folding Chassis USERS' OPINIONS?

[Milf Dots]

Questions for users of Magpul Pro 700 folding chassis for both R700 SA and/or LA:

Do you like it?

How solid is the hinge lockup over a few years of moderate to heavy use?

Does the folder capture the bolt handle and lay flat- when folded to either side for LH & RH actions?

Any oddities with the ambi features like Folder Hinge, Bolt slot cover, Cheekpiece?

Is it a versatile chassis that will work decently for an array of shooting like ELR, PRS style comps, Steel Challenge comps, Formal Training classes, self training?

Is the OD Green color for these stocks about the same as the ODG of Magpul's AR products, or is it a more vivid green? (I like some ODG products on the market, but not Magpul's ODG of their AR accessories)

You’ve seen my comments before. In summary, very solid do it all tactical chassis with all the bells and whistles. Especially at the PX prices you see them at now. Cons: high bore axis and starts on the heavy side. 4lbs if I remember correctly but people have used them and made NRL Hunter weight limits.

Here is a short thread from others with a link to a longer thread in it.

Magpul Pro 700 - why overpriced???

Can someone educate me? As I do research on buying my first chassis for a Rem 700 SA, I keep reading people say that the Magpul Pro 700 is a great chassis but over priced. They don't give a specific reason though on why they feel the price is too high. When I compare its features to others...

Just realize I didn’t answered some of the questions. The hinge feels the same as the day I got it. It’s been used a lot as I store and transport it folded.

Yes, the stock captures the bolt handle when folded to bolt side. I prefer this as it lays flat on the non bolt side and the bolt is protected by the stock. Only chassis to do this are the Pro, AIs, JP, and MDT( but actions will not work).

Ambi. Hinge is easy to flip with a coupe of screws. The bolt cover snaps in and doesn’t move. I actual forgot it had one. Cheekpiece feels the same in both sides

They’re closer to 6 lbs than they are 4.

I had one and loved it. Sold it to a buddy who needed a chassis and I upgraded to a Xylo.

The green is their standard OD.

I love mine. I really feel like it is an underrated chassis because of who makes it. My last chassis on a previous build was an AICS and call me crazy but I like this one better. The hinge is solid. No problems there.

Having said all that, I’m not a “gamer” so I can’t speak to that.

I love mine. Only things that annoys me is the lack of a barricade stop in front of the magwell. Adding an aftermarket one wouldn't be optimal either bc it would force you to have a balance point too far ahead for my taste. I think its the best value out there. I need a right folding chassis.

Hopefully a LA will come available at some time in the near future, everything is out of stock at the moment.

Extremely underrated, solid option that can be bought right used

Do you have any issues with the bipod slipping on the Arca? I’m thinking about converting my bipod and running a full length arca rail.
