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

Really interested into why chassis don’t get as much favor in NZ as they do in the USA.

What’s the reason?

Is it simply that a classic looking stock still holds the most appeal?

For a lightweight alpine rifle, a carbon stock in a standard Hunter profile does what it needs?

Chassis too tacticool? Or seen as a range rifle?

Typical chassis just weigh more than your comparative Hunter stock?

The XLR models, especially the folders get used widely in the USA by backpack hunters.


They offer a tonne of adjustment to get fitting right. I’ve seen a few MDT at ranges but not with hunters?


Or does the AG style Hunter adjustable style just have the widest appeal?



What are you using and what made the decision so?
