Some advice on fitting chassis to shooters?

[Rprecision]

I am setting up a new chassis. I have adjustments for: length of pull, cheek height, recoil pad height and cant.

Brand and manufacturer completely airside I am looking for some tips and tricks to getting everything adjusted.

I havealways had a hard time finding a adjustment that works in all positions. I can get the fit perfect in prone, but moving to a bench or standing off a barricade/tripod the eye relief seems to far away.

Conversely if I set it correctly for standing I find myself trying to move back away from the scope while prone.

I'm 6'03" 230, with long arms if that matters.

How do you make all this work?

Thanks

No chassis position will work 100% for every positional situation. While certain chassis are easier to adjust on the fly than others it boils down to dry fire, shooting, and working these positions and making small adjustments so that while they arnt all 100% they are all 90% or better and you've put the practice in so youre comfortable with the way the chassis is set up for each position.

If you know you're going to be prone or from certain barricade heights way more often than the others you can tweak it a hair in that direction to favor those positions. It may take 4 or 5 practice sessions to really dial it it but you'll get there.

I'd also give the advise to not compromise your fundamentals to force a good sight picture. You see it a ton at matches where someone has decent form from prone but as soon as they move to another position their shoulders are angled off weird and neck all bunched up or stretched out to force a good picture from their scope. Take the time so you dont end up doing that and if you need to adjust your scope, adjust your scope.

I really appreciate the advice and information. I believe part of my problem is building everything perfect around prone and not compromising the fit for othe scenarios.

Thank you! Charles

My preference is to set the chassis up with some length in the stock. I will then reduce that length for positional shooting.

This is EXACTLY why chassis with quick adjust thumb wheels are great. Shooting prone, lengthen the pull out. On a tripod, bring it in.
