I am looking at making a move from a traditional stock to a folding chassis type. Any suggestions?? They are expensive and I don't want a crappy one

XLR Magnesium. Great chassis in my opinion and that is based on my experience owning one.
We use AICS #1. Heavy but the best sniper platform
and also have MDT folder-lighter depending on the model
Check out MPA Firearms. They make GREAT Chassis. They have been #1 in the PRS Competition for years.

You said light... so XLR Element or MDT HNT26.

XLR Element 4.0 magnesium, in my opinion the best light weight chassis currently available. The MDT looks nice as well, but I have only held one, and personally like the XLR better. I may be slightly biased though.
I originally was going for the XLR Element (like @codyadams) or MDT HNT26 but went with the MPR by CA. It is slightly heavier, but I still have my end weight goal for my current build-in progress.

If you haven't already, try a friends chassis before you buy one. Some guys just don't like a chassis. Try as I might, I really want to like them - I just don't. I build rifles for a living and get to try everything out there. I own just one, from CADEX. I don't mind it but still prefer a stock. I believe Manners makes (or used to make) a folding stock if the folder is the selling feature. They also make a compact that adjusts pretty short as well.
