[QUOTE="GHDIII, post: 1798875, member: 112499"] I bought a Tikka T3 in .270 and was seriously disappointed with the quality and accuracy of the X-Lite stock system. Brownells.com had an MDT LSS chassis on sale for $275, so I figured what the heck. Long story short, I love it. When I got the LSS chassis in the mail I thought the box was empty. It weighs nothing. However, I fit the gun with a new, 6 lb., barrel and a beast of a scope. So, it probably weighs somewhere in The 10 lb. range now. The weight is not a problem for me. I walk and sit and walk and sit when hunting. Also, I never carry the gun in a ready position when hunting. So, the (probably very real) problem of the aluminum sucking the heat from my hands is not an issue either. However, to be perfectly honest, I do feel like a bit of a tactitard when carrying a chassis rifle around in the woods. But, all that goes away once I lock on a 30" bipod and sit behind the gun. The white pic shows the stock T3 in the LSS chassis with a Leupold VX freedom scope. The red pick shows the new 26" heavy barrel and 6-24×50 scope. [/QUOTE]
