Not sure yet. Probably the AAC-SD since I have been trying to get as many rounds down the bore as possible with it.

Since I have been fondling it non-stop since it got here.....pretty good.
Range day should be Monday.

Mine just came in today. Looks like there's enough space, but I don't have a Timney trigger.
I think I'm going to dig this stock. Looks better in person than in the photos. IMHO

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Had a scheduling conflict and I had to delay. Work sucks sometimes.
I have the 700 AAC-SD bolted up. It went together pretty easy, but if you are using a regular hex driver bit you have to take the forend off to get to the forward screw. Not a big deal. Installation was still less than five minutes. I chucked five dummy rounds into an AICS mag and they fed flawlessly. The magazine locks in solid and drops free when empty.
Should have it out to the range this coming week for some video and pics.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Just thought to leave this here..
Note: Yes I know my scope is high, but still waiting for my SWFA SS scope and need to get new rings so this is all I had lying around.
BTW nice touch on giving O rings to keep the height settings of the cheek rest.
Justin: What would you recommend for a rail base to attach a bipod. I prefer to share my Bobro bipod between 2 of my rifles.. Currently I'm using the MOE rail I have lying around, but really don't want to use polymer for this application.
When I get all setup I'll give a review on it. So far I like it.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Mirynx, the timney has a post sticking out of it that needs to be cut off, but after that it will fit. Apparently this is a common mod to the trigger for other stocks.
Ryo,
Both us and accushot are working on a spigot mount that slides in the slot in the front like a TRG bipod, so you could use that if you don't like the MOE rails.
No time frame on the M2008 version, looks like after Thanksgiving.
Razor, thanks!

Massoud.
Do you have any photos of the left side of the butt stock and a top view? I would like to see how the cant works for the butt pad and the holes for the NV mounting solution.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
I'll try to work on some pics, but you can see the NV mount holes in the pic by Ryo. There are two holes on either side of the forend. We're working on two different styles of mounts.
The buttpad cant is accomplished with alernate mounting holes for the buttpad where it mounts to the mounting plate. It's not a quick change type of feature.
Thanks,
Justin

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Is this what your kind of photo you're looking for?
I'm not quite sure how the canting would work based on Justin's info. Seems everything is pretty aligned and I can't imagine canting without something being bent or not tighten down.. Have to take a look at it again.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
To cant you just take out the screws that hold the buttpad on (you can't see them, they're in the holes in the back of the buttpad), then put it back on with the shorter screws (included) in the alternate mounting position.
Weight is 4lb 14oz roughly depending on what rails and/or bag rider you have on there.
Long action version is in testing, possibly will be out by Christmas but really hard to say.
Thanks guys!

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
We've heard that the 591 will fit ok so no need to dust off the dremel tool, haha.
For the folder retrofit kit, figure that the price will be north of 400 but we're not sure how far yet. It's still a few weeks out.
Thanks,

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Love the stock but was wondering if 1. Is the forend available in some sort of poly to cut down on weight? And 2. Are the grip panels available for smaller hands?
Thanks,
Tony

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Tony, thanks! For now the forend is only available in aluminum. It might be surprising, but that forend is actually only a tiny bit heavier than the poly forend on the TRG. We have some ideas we're working with here though, but it's too early to discuss.
For the grips, we have a small version in testing, they'll be going into production before too long. Everything is modular so you can swap them into existing chassis when they do come out.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Justin:
This chassis looks amazing.
The HUGE pro's for me...
*Made by a great bunch of guys.
*Substantially Lighter than the heavy AICS (5 lbs 7oz-5 lbs 11oz)
*More high speed low drag than most chassis out there
*Has all the features you could possibly want in a chassis
*price point is almost shocking for what you are getting
Im definitely going to convert my AI, and Mcrees systems to this.
I love the Mcrees, unfortunately this has a couple features on it that I consider better.
Looking forward to my future purchases.
Thanks for doing a service to the long gun community by providing an extremely high quality, well engineered product at a great price point.

Re: WHISKEY-3 Chassis for the Remington 700
Evan, Thanks! Hopefully you'll like that folder. We try to evolve the stock as we find better ways to do something or a new feature to incorporate.
Dallas, there's different torque values for each screw really. There's socket, button, and flat heads of each size M5 and M6. The main ones to consider are the action screws. We lube these and run them at about 40in-lbs but we recommend experimenting to see what your action likes.
agbm1911, yes it comes with all the mounting hardware you need which does include new action screws.
Thanks!

cam anyone comment on how quiet the folding stock is when it's manipulated (i.e. any clunks or clicks)? and once in position is it solid without any perceivable flex?
