I’ve looked at the magpul several times for the same reason but it just doesn’t do it for me for whatever reason. I like the ao/vision buttstock the best of all of them and the low slung aspect of the ax. I need to look at the jp apac also.

XLR Envy Pro tics all the boxes. Adjustable mag latch, foldable, Arca, adjustable cant, weights. I just don’t feel the forend is long enough, or that it’s particularly attractive.
ACC Elite would be in contention if it folded. They said one of their existing folders will work, but you can’t option a new chassis with it, and it’s an extra $600 and the bottom brace doesn’t look like it’ll hinge anyway, so fuck ‘em.
Terry Cross’ new Comp chassis is still vapourware at this point and I can’t get an answer on what butt adjustability it’ll have. The LE version doesn’t have height or cant adjustment, and I don’t think it even exists yet either.

I didn't even look into the jp but that looks like a great option aswell. I like the polymer skin on the magpul. Help keep my hands a little warmer in the winter
The zealot is interesting also. Besides availability on it I wonder if my typical grip would work with his hinge design.
Bravo will need to be modified a bit for the trigger hanger, per the description. Doesn’t look like it accepts AW magazines either. If those aren’t a big deal to you, buy with confidence
The Aero Precision Solos chassis should check all the boxes. Cut for AW and AICS mags, has adjustable mag catch, and they say they are coming out with a folding option that should be backward compatible with current chassis. Plus in the $700 range.
KRG started selling an adjustable mag catch trigger guard for AW mags. https://kineticresearchgroup.com/product/adjustable-mag-catch-trigger-guard/
They also sell an extended mag catch.
MPA's Hybrid should work out of the box, and they have a folder option for those wanting a folding chassis. (DYOR on that though. I'm just going by memory from the main CDG pre order thread)
Anyone know if the MDT XRS will work with AW mags and the trigger hanger??
This ^^ 100%. That would be my dream chassis. I would add that horizontal adjustment of the comb would be way cool also but prob lowest priority.
Looking at the aero chassis I don’t hate it. I don’t see the nv bridge in pictures or for sale yet so I’ll have to wait and see.
Ordered an MPA Ultra Lite folder chassis last night for my CDG. I have all the pieces ordered, but only the trigger in hand. The waiting suuuuuuuuuucks.
If you think waiting on your CDG is long, wait till you see how long it takes to get that chassis. I get it says 10-12 weeks on the website, but it could be double that (speaking from past experience).
I've read some horror stories, but I am hoping for the best. I wasted a couple weeks stalking the PX for a folder, but haven't seen one.
Saw this post on KRGs instagram. It's a W3 with a 'Next Shot Precision' forend. If I don't go this way it'll be a KMW zealot.
Ordered my lefty on the first morning of preorder. Barrel, stock, trigger, and scope in hand. Be glad you’re not wrong handed
.Lol well, I am thankfully everyday I wasn't born with that deformity!!!!!Ordered my lefty on the first morning of preorder. Barrel, stock, trigger, and scope in hand. Be glad you’re not wrong handed
Happy to be corrected but the CDG is a R700 footprint/ inlet.
Those three KRG W3s look like Tikka T3s,( two with TRG triggers
) =different inlet/ footprints, so the Next Shot Precision forends are T3 not R700. So… do NSP also make the forend for a R700?And….if anyone has success with the CDG and a JAE Gen 4 chassis pls advise!
I have mine in one feeds great love it. However the stock does not fold over the bolt. hopefully the swept bolt handle will fix this
I stopped by my smith's today, finally got to play with my pair of cdg actions. I will say I found little to no tooling marks on either. They're very smooth and light bolt lift, especially for not having a trigger installed. Very excited to get these up and running, will have them barreled and back in my hands in 2 weeks.
So according to Spuhr, the only necessary modification to the SICS chassis might be having to remove some material from the trigger guard pocket to avoid interference with the trigger hanger. Who is brave enough to try first? 
Had the opportunity to look at a Solus chassis. Modification will be needed for the trigger hanger on the CDG.
For those curious about the cant adjustability here is a pic of the butt pad mounting holes that allow for cant, cast and height variations fwiw.

@st1650 I know an impact action will drop into an atx aics Chassis, but I don't know if the CDG hanger has a larger footprint. There is a magazine stop that's bolted in place inside the rear of the atx mag well to limit upward position of an aics mag. If you remove this it allows aw mags to sit up higher to the action. Some guys have used the GA tempest 3 lugs with aw mags in the atx chassis and removing the mag block helped. I will have my CDG barreled actions in 2 weeks, will be installing in my extra atx chassis at that time. Other than this information, I don't believe anyone has put a CDG into an atx chassis.
Update Jul 17: Atx chassis works great with the CDG action, allows use of AW and AX mags. You just have to remove the aics mag block, which is circled in second Pic.

I might have to do it next spring still saving up for that RH25.
For this year I’ll just use my Xylo but I’m itching for a proper folder chassis to go with my spare 18in barrel.
I’m trying an Alpine Hunter adjustable by AG Composite. On sale around $600 with bottoms metal. Had in a week. They only have the short action. Seems to fit nice. AW runs perfect. They stated near Proof Sendero profile.
I just need to pick a barrel now in 6 Creedmore that fits.
any thoughts?

I wish they would just make the W3 with the long foreend just like these from KRG
Anyone know if any companies have modified their chassis to accept the CDG without dremeling?
I’ll be using AICS 223Rem magazines.

KRG Chassis' do need some material to be removed to make room for the trigger hanger or it will not fit. The gentleman who sold me the chassis was kind enough to mill it for me. I still needed to file the trigger hanger set screw down to clear it and fit without touching. It works flawless running AW mags with the standard KRG mag latch. I also ordered the Adjustable mag latch/Aluminium trigger guard but in hindsight I didn't need to.
The CDG action did however fit without any mods in my Manners LRH and Pro Hunter and the Pure Precision M5 DBM runs the AW mags without any issues. If you go the Manners Mini Chassis (PH & LRH) route and have any issues running AW mags, MDT sells a M5 BDM with adjustable latch but as stated, my Pure Precision ran them flawless.
To the best of my knowledge based on my research only, not experience, the MDT chassis, Gen 1 and Gen 2 Premier as well as the MDT Elite need no adjustments to fit the CDG action. MDT Elite already comes standard with an adjustable Mag latch. They also offer the adjustable Mag latch for the Premier Gen 2 for $30. I cant however find on their website if there is one for the Premier Gen 1. You might have to do it the old way and file down the mag latch to make the AW mag fit.
Note that neither the Elite nor Premier Gen 2 can be had in a folder. I emailed MDT not to long ago to see if the SRF-XS folding rear for the Gen 1 fits the newer chassis' and was told "NOT compatible". So if you want a folder then it appears it needs to be Gen 1 forend with the SRF-XS rear stock and file the latch to fit AW mags as/if needed. Please correct me if your experience regarding MDT chassis and CDG action prove different. I'd love to hear.
I added some pictures of the milled area on the KRG W3 (would be the same for the Bravo, same bones). Rifle is the ARC CDG with AW mag, Trigger Tech Special 2 stage and ARC Medium height rings in a Manners LRH as well a KRG W3. Barrel is a 24 inch carbon Proof Sendero prefit by LRI.
If you are looking for more good info and or inspiration, check this thread out as well. Page 1 and 2 both show the KRG material removal done by hand/dremel by another gentleman. I personally would try to avoid doing it this way and considering potential resale value motivated me to have mine milled by a professional.

I don't have mine yet but I want to see the ones who do. Thanks -Austin
