Anybody have any experience with these? Thinking of getting one of these for my savage since its about the same if not cheaper than stock and DBM. KRG came out with the 180 alpha which is a blend between the whiskey 3 and X-ray versions for the Remington 700. $798 is the best price I can find in stock for the FDE version. If anyone knows of a better price that would be great. Thanks

Just sold my 1911 so wanting to upgrade more than the Boyd's and they also don't have one inlet for the savage stock DBM so would have to buy a new one of those too. Figured might as well go big lol.

I looked long and hard at this chassis for my Savage, and after shooting one, I decided I didn't care for the AR style grip on a precision rig. Wth that being said, I have found a grip that has a thumb rest to make it feel more like a bolt gun than an AR. I might be in the market for a chassis this year

Yea I'm an AR guy so a chassis system is probably for me. I don't feel comfortable really shooting a regular stock on my savage.

KRoyal, I completely understand where you're coming from. All my training with an AR was for speed and not precision. That being said, do you know of a pistol grip to replace my Houge? I need something much more vertical. Was looking at the DD with the built in trigger guard, or the Stark

I need something much more vertical. Was looking at the DD with the built in trigger guard, or the Stark I actually run the older version MOE-K grip on my SBR because of how vertical it is. I love it. It is a little on the short side but works great for me. You can see it is a lot more vertical than most AR grips.

Xlr is another good choice Thanks I've looked at the XLR as well. I am considering it. I also found the McRee's Precision last night. For features for the price hands down the McRee wins. Everything I read about it last night was nothing but great reviews. Only negative anyone could find about it was that it was ugly, but I actually think it looks great. Really leaning towards the McRee at the moment.

This is the McRee should I get the folding version for extra $60 for ease of cleaning. Don't really want to have to put the cheek piece down everytime, but $60 is another 10 round mag. Hmm

Are you going to clean it every time you shoot it?
The main point in the folder is to make the rifle shorter for packing.

So what is the biggest advantage to a chassis system over a fiberglass stock? Ive never looked twice at chassis systems but i am strangely attracted to the KRG Whiskey.
Seems like you could potentially save $ on a bedding job and bottom metal. And they appear to be extremely ergonomic. But you sacrifice on the weight.

Kroyal, if you get the Mcrees definitely get the folder. Ive been running one of his early chassis on my 300WM LR rig. I like it a lot. Its solid and I really like the folding mechanism.
