I got out to the range today to try out the new chassis system. I really like the ergonomics. Easy to get behind and square up. I am still getting use of the chassis. I feel confident I can get better groups with a little more trigger time. The pictures is a ten shot group I just stopped placing bullets because I couldn't find them. LOL. I only had 10 Superperformance 165 SST left. Cabela's was sold out so I tried Precision Hunter 178 ELD-X and my rifle did not like them. I think I will stick with the 165's.

looks great....may i ask, how did your grouping look with the original stock i.e. did the new chassis stock improve upon what you were able to achieve prior to the new stock?
With the accustock, my groups where everywhere from 1.5 to 3 inches. I was able to hold two groups at 200 yards to .25 MOA once. Same factory ammo. I travel a lot for work and can't wait to get home and get some hand loads going. I really like this superformance 165 SST for my .30-06. Besides hand loading, I will get a criterion barrel and timney trigger. After that it is a Magnum bolt face with a 300 WIN mag barrel and 6.5 PRC barrel. I am starting a 6.5 CM build as well using a savage 12 short action. Plan for the build is a XLR Element chassis and Benchmark barrel. I will do all the action and trigger work myself. The cost for the SA build is 1300 which is the cost of a custom action. I will get a .308 and .243AI barrel for the SA. the floating bolt head on the savage is amazing. Savages are not the smoothest action but I am not competing in competition where seconds matter. Savages are as accurate as any production rifle/Action on the market. Then I will have 6 rifles for the cost of 3. Before all the Savage bashers start hating, to each his own. if it works for you, don't fix it.
