I don't have one of their rifles but do have a BA Lite chassis on one of my rigs and absolutely love it.

Here's a good review: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...e-arms-mpa-6-5ba-creedmoor-bolt-action-rifle/
I'm about to order one of their chassis for my new build. Al, their customer service guy on bolt actions, is really helpful.

These rifles are a solid buy and exceptionally well built. Add a scope and rings and you can keep up with any rifle. You can pay more for a custom but you're not gaining any benefit. The short actions use Kelby's Stolle-Atlas actions and the long actions are TAC-300s and TAC-338s. Oh did I mention they don't jerk you off on their .338 or 300 WMs they are only a couple hundred more than their short actions. We sell as many as we can get our hands on, its our fastest moving bolt gun line. Plus they are a big supporter of long range shooting sports.
I’m looking at this chassis, how do you find it?
Is the shorter foregrip an issue for say shooting off a pack etc?
What profile barrel do you have? Would a medium to heavy barrel feel too unbalanced?
Thanks
I generally like it. My only small complain is my folder is not cushioned so it rubs against the action when folded. Small complain. Gun is super accurate in that configuration.
I do not shoot off a pack so cannot answer that question.
The Tikka .223 Varmint has a pretty heavy barrel profile (0.87" toward the muzzel) and even with a brake and Atlas BP I don't find it unbalanced.

I have a 308 in the BA Lite and love it. Got it ready for hog hunting and I’m sure it will do the job.
I am not much of a chassis guy, but can say that at matches I attend, a good 30% or more are shooting some variation of this complete rifle or chassis. And people are winning with them. As to balance, depending upon the barrel profile and length you use, you can buy weight kits for either the forearm or the buttstock, so there's never really a reason that you should be unbalanced using this system.
Even being a dyed-in-the-wool stock guy, I admire this design and company.

Love mine. Its a 1/2 MOA gun with FACTORY Hornady 140 ELD. These were the first rounds out of the gun.
