What sucked with the last chassis or stock you were using? What were you trying to get by moving to the new one?
Those Who Have Switched Chassis/Stocks Recently: What Did You Not Like About The Last One?

If you’re measuring OAL to lands, removing the bolt or cleaning a folding chassis shines! Most people think of it as a way to transport or store the rifle which I never use it for
It’s not that recent, but I was running a KRG W3. Height over bore Bore height above the bag was a bit much but not bad, but I really wanted a couple feature changes:
- Shorter length from buttpad to front of magwell
- Chad Heckler’s Ergo-Vert grip
- Adjustable mag well for rimfire mags
I was eyeballing the KRG C4 and the ACC Elite; I tried the Elite with the dampers and was very impressed. That, plus a shorter length to buttpad and cheaper, led me to the Elite.

I went from MPAs to ATX AICS. The folders in the MPAs were rickety, but truthfully I just wanted to try something new. And the side weight situation was pretty limited at the time for MPAs. At first I was pretty unhappy with the ATX because the hinges were vaporware but eventually I got one, then spent another $400 in weights, then had a thumb rest custom 3D printed because they don't do MLOk(yes, now they do have a new model in MLOK). I'm pretty happy with the ATX chassis but it's not the smartest move. Any chassis that's supposed to support R700 custom actions should have an adjustable mag latch. I haven't had any issues yet but you should be able to adjust mag height. I have two comp guns and got an XLR Envy Pro with the additional PRS Comp kit for the second gun. There isn't a lick.of difference in the competitiveness of those two guns with different chassis. They'll both do the job. I will say I can make the ATX chassis gun heavier tho despite all the weights that the PRS Comp kit comes with in the XLR. All that said, I'd trade my XLR for another ATX chassis if I could. I've really grown to like that chassis.
I will say, the inlet MPA uses is impeccable. It is a different style than the traditional V block logic XLR uses. I trust it way more for non-bedding than most chassis manufacturers. It's more of a skim-bed style of contact.
Mostly used standard style stocks over my 23 years in the sport, McMillan first and then moved to Manners, but a few years back I wanted to see what the fuss was about so tried some MPA chassis and liked them but wanted to go back to lighter weight due to my lower back so back to my Manners. I also like the simplicity of the Manners with the mini chassis also.
Basically saying you don’t know what you like until you try them and something we may not like may be something you do like.
