Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
I'm just thinking out loud here but out of all the popular chassis stocks, who has the better "bed" so to speak.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
Good question, I don't think there is a clear winner, I bed all my stocks, IMHO if done correctly it doesn't hurt accuracy, and probably increases it in stocks with bedding blocks, I never shot a round with my RS unbedded, but know shooters who do shoot unbedded RS stocks and there accuracy is good.

I wish you people would stop posting pictures of these stocks. I am gimped up right now and all I can do is mess around on the error net , read books and order stuff. My wife is already about to beat me on conscious . If I get one of these she will definatly kill me.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
It is a spacer system. You have shims and 2 screws. Not sure on the amount of adjustment.

Possible future folder retrofit. Super enticing.. Todd how is it going to work with the completely one piece stock?

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
You cut out 1.300 out of the stock in the rear drill and tap and your good to go.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
I really like the look of them. Nice and clean, If I were in the market I would defiantly be looking for something like this most of the chassis systems I have seen of late are over tacticalised.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
What grip are you guys using? I'm wondering about the newish Umbrella Corp or BCM grip since they appear to be more vertical than anything else. I would normally default to the Larue apeg, but the grip on the chassis appears to be farther from the trigger than an AR and I probably don't need the beaver tail effect of the APEG and similar? Don't have a chassis in hand yet....

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
I run a BCM grip on one of my ARs and love it. When I order my RS stock, I'm going to put one on as well.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
I am working for a new company that is developing a chassis system more similar to an AI than to Todd's RS. We chose to ball mill as well versus using the V-Block setup like an AI has. You find out pretty quickly why most people stay away from ball milling. The stock Remington 700 receivers have such terrible tolerances that it is hard to insure a good fit without skim bedding. I just found it ironic that the most difficult part of engineering a chassis for a Remington 700 was trying to overcome the poor quality of the most popular bolt action receiver ever made.
Todd's chassis is very nice and all the guys running it, love it. The chassis I am involved in designing isn't really setup for competition work so I may very well end up running a Rock Solid before the year is out. Nice job on the design guys....

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS

I just got a McRees chassis and the grip to trigger relationship is similar. Feels a little unnatural to me since I shoot primarily AR pattern rifles and an FNAR (which has a similar grip-to-trigger length).
Same with the other chassis I have seen pictured.
I am surprised that with all of the adjustments built into the various systems, this length is not adjustable; I assume that the manufacturers have arrived at a length that works for the majority of shooters.

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
The more I look at this stock the more I smile. Simplicity is a beautiful thing.
Since people have already asked for a folder, I'll (humbly?) make more demands:
- Chop everything forward of the front flush cup off
- Angle the forearm up towards the barrel to remove even more meat from the stock
- Perforate whatever won't affect rigidity
That should shave some weight off. Then you will own the tactical <span style="font-style: italic">and</span> hunting markets!

Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS
Does anybody know when it's the best time to give Todd a call? I thought I had read on another post that he had a daytime job and I didn't want to bother him. I'm really wanting to get one of these stocks ordered. Any info would be great.
Thanks Rick
