Well, I gotta say this little heavy-barreled Mini Howa Grendel has certainly earned this chassis upgrade. It shoots so consistently well that it makes my other customs jealous. I never thought I'd get fully on board the chassis wagon bc I love a nice wood/glass stocked rifle, but now after shooting chassis systems for a year all my rifles wear them except for my laminated stock heavy barreled 6x47 target gun. After looking at all the aftermarket stuff out there and adding up the DIP bottom metal upgrade, limited fit/ergos of the fiberglass stock configurations available for this barreled action I decided to put those costs towards an MDT LSS Gen2 and just be done with it. Balance, unlimited adjustability, carry options, mag interface/function, no bedding necessary make these worth every penny IMO. If you're on the fence about a stock upgrade give something like this a hard look. It's gonna be my "do everything rifle". Weight, as shown, is 8.8 lbs but it feels and carries like a 6.5-7lb gun. You could certainly shave a pound or more quite easily with a smaller scope, lighter rear stock option, shorter barrel, and no brake. Chassis with rear stock alone is 3.2lb on my scale. The damn limb saver that came on it isn't my fav from XLR but it really works well.
