[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1429660, member: 10291"] I have become so accustomed to the ergonomics of my PRS rifles (22LR and 6.5x284) built on chassis’, that I wanted to try one out on one of my LR hunting rifles. This rifle is a LRH in 6.5x284 that has performed superbly(.25MOA) right out of the box. I upgraded the Accu-Trigger with a 1.5# Timney, added a larger tactical bolt, and an MPA Light Chassis(3 pounds). My PRS centerfire weighs 16.25 pounds which is OK for PRS but way too heavy for my style of hunting. The total weight with the MPA light Chassis with bipod, magazine, scope(24OZ), comes in at 12 pounds, same as the stock rifle similarly loaded. The original barrel continues to perform exceptionally well with several hundred rounds through it, but if it ever gives up the ghost, I’ll screw on a Criterion Heavy Sporter which is dimensionally identical and same weight as the OEM barrel. This “Turd” stands quite tall next to my full custom, and Cooper 6.5x284’s. [ATTACH=full]95660[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
