So what stock or chassis?

[Doc68]

I was recently given a Savage model 11 in 223 Remington. This will be used as a trainer and for my son to shoot. What does the hide recommend. I like chassis systems, but also like the look of a regular stock.

Thanks in advance.

Hard to beat an MPA if your son wants to eventually dip his toes in competition. And depending on his age, they do make a Youth model for the Savage.

MDT for Chassis - XLR for Buttstocks. I prefer chassis over stocks but YMMV.

If you're looking for modularity, it's fairly difficult for a stock/hybrid to compete with most chassis'.

I think KRG makes the Bravo with a Savage inlet. That might bridge the gap between stock and chassis for you.

http://www.rifle-stocks.com/ a really nice real hard wood stock . but that depends on what you want and if they have it or can make it .good luck on finding what you want which ever stock or chassis .

The KRG scratched my itch for a traditional stock feel with all the modularity, adjustability and features of a chassis. I loaded mine with all the accessories and I am really enjoying it.

No complaints with mine.

I've been trying to decide this as well. I have an MDT ESS chassis as well as a KRG Bravo, but only one barreled action. I've been going back and forth between the two trying to decide which to keep. I love the balance and feel of the Bravo, but I love the modularity and weight of the MDT.

I ran an element on a Savage with a 260 barrel. Really love that set up. I try to post some pics later today.

Thank you for the offer, but I think it will be a bit out of my price range at this time.

Weird, I thought I saw that on the inlets but I haven't looked in several months.

On the other hand, KRG should probably figure out how to make a Bravo style chassis with that 180 backbone. Savage is usually a budget rifle choice so an inexpensive chassis/stock makes more sense for that inlet.

I'd use one that I could adjust the length of pull.

APO style or a stock like the Manners Compact Stock (MCS).

A GRS Berserk would be my first choice as it will only be about $550 through Euro Optic.
