[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 1351283, member: 14190"] Will chassis eventually dominate? I think so. Particularly because of how modular they can be to custom fit the consumer. It has been a long and interesting read. I agree with many of the statements of chassis being too heavy. As i get older i look at my rifles and get irritated at all the extra weight there and lately i have been somewhat obsessed with lightening my gear. Maybe its the back surgery i had last year but i dont want to drag around a 10-12 lb rifle anymore and frankly with the technology and composites out now i shouldn't have to. I think if someone could apply the Magnesium Aluminum alloy that Mag Tac used to use on their AR lower recieivers to a chassis system we would really be onto something. Also the areospace industry and a few Universities have done some interesting things with Honeycomb metal as in lighter than expandable foam! Any combination of these two methods could produce a 50% lighter chassis without sacrificing much ergornomics. I am shocked that no one has made a magnesium alloy chassis yet! [/QUOTE]
