[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 1075849, member: 14257"] Well I just received clarification on why the chassis cost is 2x more: " Our original LA is $1025 single color / $825 unpainted. We are tentatively planning to discontinue the original line sometime this summer. It’s a really good chassis, but we don’t offer it in .408/.375. If we didn’t have the new line of chassis, we would be having a price increase on our first generation line. LRZ (LA) in our latest generation which we call our “Z line” is $1600/$1400. This line was developed for extreme field use and has a much more rigid connection for the front tube and includes all our latest modifications on the rear slider with a thumb wheel added for easier recoil pad movement and dual/interchangeable swivel/QD sling attachements. The upgraded rear slider works with either system, but would add $50 if ordered with the original design. Our LTACZ .408/375 chassis uses larger base stock and takes substantially longer time to machine than the smaller LA’s. That is the main reason. Additionally, the magazine costs are about $125 more than LA mags." Also anyone know of other manufacturers that offer Cheytac 408 actions with a Lapua Magnum bolt face? So far I have found: Stiller Tactical in CT repeater and single shot Bat 'L' single shot I'm also trying to find Cheytac bottom metal... just wanting to flesh this out and see if there it is something that tickles my fancy enough to pursue further.
