[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2399863, member: 10291"] This was the rifle that really got me thinking about a chassis for long range hunting. While in the PRS world they have moved beyond my first rifle in 6.5x47L, and the rifle platforms have advanced beyond this set-up, the accuracy, ergonomics, and versatility of this rifle seemed to enhance the ease of hitting distant targets from a variety of shooting positions. Why not see if some if the attributes could be applied to long range hunting. Using an early generation MPA BA chassis, Surgeon 591 action, and Kreiger medium Palma barrel, 1000+ yard hits from a variety of positions could be made with relative ease. The big issue was that this rifle weighed 5+ pounds more then I wanted for hunting. This could be achieved with a lighter chassis, barrel, and scope while still preserving many of the attributes. I do wonder if what we saw happened with wood stocks might one day happen to the synthetic conventional stock. [/QUOTE]
