Thread: Chassis for hunting, why are they not more common in nz?

I hunted with a rem 7 in an mdt lss, the lightest chassis rig you could get at at the time . Accuracy was ok but not that great with the magpul colapsible stock .but I switched quickly to carbon as soon as ken henderson had his stock available for the rem7.

Since I have fitted a more ergonomic stock on the chassis but it makes it too heavy to carry around.

The one thing that could be a game changer would be a rifle like the SIG cross (with a lighter barrel than the original one). That makes for a reasonably light rig.

One of the annoying thing is the metalic noise that resonates every time you bang it against a hard surface, a back pack buckle or anything similar or when you manipulate the bolt or remove the safety.

The Americans seems to like their gadgets and seems to have to justify their acquisition and their use one way or the another.

I see that now you are meant to have an Arca rail on your rifle on top of all the picatinny cheese grating rails so that you can attach a big carbon fibre tripod to execute a standing shot at long distance …more shit to carry!
