[QUOTE="Txhillbilly, post: 2622758, member: 22844"] I like the Woox Exactus chassis, but there are a couple things that could be improved. (1) The picatinny rail on the butt stock is useless to 99.9% of shooter's that I know, and if you shoot with a rear bag it will tear it up. I removed the rail and fabricated a piece of wood to replace it. (2) The way that the fore end attaches to the chassis needs to be improved. The aluminum chassis is actually 2 pieces, and the front extension piece that the fore end screws onto started allowing some upward / downward movement after I shot the rifle a couple times. There are only two screws (one on each side) that hold the extension to the main chassis. I fixed the issue by putting epoxy in the cavity that the extension goes into, and then screwed it back together. Once the epoxy setup, the fore end is solid as a rock. On my 3rd outing with the rifle, the butt stock developed a small crack in the wrist where it meets the chassis. This only happened because the way the grain in the wood was at the spot. Woox sent me a replacement, and looking at the grain pattern on the new stock, this shouldn't happen again. I'm not bashing this chassis in any way, I like it. In today's high tech world, just because it looks perfect on your CAD program, it might not be perfect in the real world uses. I let Woox know what flaws I found from real world use, and they can fix it pretty simple. [/QUOTE]
