Chassis system for remington 700

[archangel]

I am going to purchase a remington 700 in a few weeks i dont want to keep it in the boring stock i want a chassis system for it i like the accuracy international not sure if i want to dish out 1200 plus for the stock i found the xlr chassis system is there any others i should look at

Xlr element
mccrees precision
krg
MDT LSS if you've already got some AR stocks laying around.

I'm willing to part mine out if you're interested. Most chassis systems will be around 1k, but they're feature packed and you'll be getting your moneys worth.

Go to a match or something and get behind some of these. They are not all the same in feel, particularly in the area of the pistol grip. There's one popular chassis (can't remember which) that I think is just miserable there.

You'll see used AI's with some regularity for half of the new cost, though they will be previous generation.

I happen to know where a new XLR is sitting collecting dust if you decide to go that route.

I got my XLR from colorado_hack. I was a great experience. [Beer]

I've got one rifle in an XLR Carbon and one in an AICS and both are good solid units, although I like the XLR a little bit more (strictly personal feel, not by any deficiency of the AICS chassis) and as soon as some more fun money is freed up I'll be selling the AICS and getting a second XLR to replace it most likely that one will be an element so I don't have to swap out my Spuhr Mount on that scope since it's 35mm and doesn't have the greatest resale options without selling the scope with it. If you're interested in the AI let me know, it's well loved/used but comes with both the original skins and a set of Viper skins with Flush cup sling conversion already done on it as well as the spigot mount for the bipod.

The KRG's are solid chassis, but I can't stand the grip on them and it's not a quick swap out deal.

Another xlr here but as Tim said they feel so different you really need to try them on first.

[archangel]

I don't want the element I want the other one if I go with the xlr any where you would recommend to get a feel for the different stocks

[Tim K]

Any local LR match.

[banks74]

^this. Like Tim said, go to a match a try a few out.

Resurrecting this thread for my own selfish needs! My question is whether or not anyone can speak to the weight of the KRG W3C vs the XLR Carbon? I haven't been able to find specs posted any where for the WC3. I'm pretty well set on the XLR carbon because of its lightness and fantastic reviews. Any opinions or experience will be greatly appreciated!

[XC700116]

The W3 is a fairly heavy chassis, The KRG X-ray is nice and light though. Below is some info for reference.

W3
Weight:


Fixed version is about 4lbs 7oz w/o magazine.
Folding version is about 4lbs 12oz w/o magazine.


X-ray
Weight:


3.1 lbs w/o magazine.


XLR Carbon info I got from Kyle


Our Tactical Carbon chassis comes in a 3 pounds 11 ounces complete. There is only .7 ounces difference between the 15.5 and 12" Carbon hand guards.

Thank you XC, I ended up ordering my carbon from Nick at XLR. He was super cool to deal with and now I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve! Can't wait!!!

[Ianski]

Are any of the guys from XLR members on here?

[Delfuego]

I don't believe so, but quite a few of us run them and have dealt with Kyle & Company directly. They are good folks and try to care good care of shooters and Colorado boys...

Picked up an Element chassis for my 700 LTR. Have to say this is a nice stock. Not something i'd want to carry around all day, but it wasn't purchased for that. Well balanced, comfortable to shoot good cheek weld etc.

Whoa! Jelly...

Quick comment on the Magpul Pro 700 chassis. If you're buying one always get the folding version!

On the fixed version, the cheek piece blocks the bore just enough you can't get a cleaning rod into it - even if you lower the cheek piece all the way down.

I learned this the hard way, now I have to cough up another $150 for the hinge. :(

Haven't yet shot the rifle, so I can't give any feedback except to say it's heavy but very, very well built.

You should be able to lower it out of the way for cleaning. MPA / AICS / XLR is the same.

I'm just going to buy a Magpul hinge.

Note to other Magpul Pro chassis buyers: Get the hinged version.

I have an XLR Element & at one point (various optic/ring configurations) my cheek rest height interfered with basic maintenance. I would just remove the four hex & reinstall after each cleaning. Took only a minute but yes, a bit annoying. With my newest config & it's corresponding height adjustment, this is no longer necessary as I just pass under it for access.

Next XLR chassis I own will have a hinged stock, for several reasons including this one.

Time evolved.
~16 years back, good options were limited to AICS ,McMillians and few more.

This is so spot on. Now there are so many options. Some really solid options for not alot of money now days too.
