Chassis suggestions/help for newbie Remington 700 ADL .308

[CUDDZILLA]

New to the forum. New to bolt guns. First post.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced($300-$400 or so?) chassis for a Remington 700 ADL chambered in .308.

I'm just getting my feet wet here to see if I can even shoot 400yds. If that's is attainable, I'll go deeper down the rabbit hole.

I've looked at Choate, but the one they have that fits the ADL looks like a brick.

Thanks for ANY help.

With your budget, pick up a used carbine stock and grip off ARFcom or someone spiffing up their AR.

I was in the same boat as you a month ago. I dont know which choate you looked at, but you can buy the choate tactical stock inletted for badger dbm at a number of places. Get that, a PTG bottom metal, and an aics 5 rounder and you should land around 400. I dont think mine looks like a brick ?

Wow that's a great looking rig Rebel! I just looked at their website and it doesn't show the one I was looking at. Thanks for your time and input!

No problem! There's alot of good knowledge here. I'm pretty nee too but I've learned a ton about this sport from this site. Stick around, read, and ask respectful questions and you will get all the help you need. At least that's been my experience!

I have heard mainly good things about the Bell & Carlson stock.

Or save up and do it right the first time. Buy once, cry once.

LOL Pinecone!

Yeah, I'd like to build a monster but I don't really know if I can shoot distance yet. This is a test run. If I find I can shoot, I'll be willing to invest more and buy better equipment.

The bell and Carlson is the route I would go. They are in your price range from most places and at the same time you don't have to buy bottom metal or additional parts if you don't have the cash ( or don't want to).

Buy once, cry once is a common motto to hear. Best advice I can give is get a vision of what you want and work towards that.

Good luck

If you are hard set on 300-400, stocks like from bell & Carlson or Choate are 2 of your better options.

If you can stretch to 600ish, your options start to open up to chassis systems
Mcree chassis
XLR element
KRG x-ray

You CAN shoot at distance.

Will you like it? No idea.

Will you be good at it? No idea.

But read this: philosophy...

No need for ANY fancy stuff to learn the basics.

Better make sure those stocks/chassis will work with ADL before you buy.

You can probably shoot to 400 just fine with what you got now. Don't need a fancy new stock to do that.

As posted elsewhere, my favorite replacement stock for Rem 700 is AICS. A bitch to carry, but the most convenient to shoot.

welcome to krg

THiS.

You can inch and creep along, buying just within your reach, OR you can save just a little and get something that MEANS SOMETHING.

Thank you ALL so much for your input! I ended up with the Choate "Tactical" stock. I spent Saturday afternoon swapping the stock out and installing the new optic. Sunday at the range, I zeroed at 100yds. Now I'm glad I didn't get too crazy with what I spent on the chassis. That money will now go toward reloading equipment. LOL. Where does it end? LOL

It never ends

 

[CUDDZILLA]

I'm starting to see that. Lots of worse things to spend my money on though.

I have tons of half finished gun related projects because of being poor

Were I you, I would be purchasing a KRG x-ray...
