I am in the market for a new lighter weight chassis rifle and would like your thoughts on these:

Criteria:
- Caliber will be 300 Win Mag
- Prefer Remington 700 footprint for flexibility to change things in the future
- Chassis preferred
- Would like ARCA rail included
- Must have adjustable cheek riser and length of pull
- Stainless steel action/barrel preferred, but not a deal breaker (carbon fiber barrel OK, but not a requirement)
- Not interested in building, but buying a barreled action and putting in a chassis is an option.

1) Master Piece Arms PMR Ultra Lite Hunter Rifle: https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-pmr-ultra-lite-hunter-rifle/

2) Weatherby Model 307 Alpine MDT: https://weatherby.com/store/model-307-alpine-mdt/

3) Bergara MgLite: https://www.bergara.online/us/rifles/premier/mglite-rifle/

4) Bergara Divide (I know this is not a chassis, but close): https://www.bergara.online/us/rifles/premier/mglite-rifle/

Any other options I should be considering?

Thanks for any info/thoughts you may have.

I like the magnesium chassis. But if light weight is my goal I’d also add a carbon fiber barrel.

Seekins also makes a partially magnesium action. Now THAT would make a fun rifle.

I like the Seekins, but they don't offer the larger calibers in their chassis.
 
I haven’t tried the ones mentioned, but I have a couple mdt hnt26 chassis and really like them.
