[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2582673, member: 113623"] I had a McRee chassis a long time ago and more recently an MPA. I am with you OP, I appreciate their utility, but can't seem to get comfortable behind them and no longer own any. To me there has always been a weight penalty, which made the guns sort of a one trick pony. They made shooting long range targets great, but were too heavy to carry up a mountain or do much else with. The ergonomics are another sort of X factory which I think people either love or hate. When chassis were first becoming popular, it seemed like they were offering AR-15 ergonomics in a bolt gun which was the [I]last thing[/I] I wanted. Now fortunately they have evolved away from that into their own thing, and even the weight concern has been mitigated some but not enough to interest me. If I was going to build say a 338 to bang steel as far as I humanly could from a prone position, I would probably do it on a chassis. If I cared about PRS maybe then too. Otherwise, I will stick with Manners stocks and mini chassis for the foreseeable future as the ergonomics, weight, and functionality seem to hit a sweet spot for me personally. [/QUOTE]
