Looking for suggestion on a light weight minimal chassis

[mioduz]

Sold my sig cross today. Looking to build something to replace it. Starting with a 700 sa. Can you suggest a light weight chassis to build on. Ideally have an light weight folding stock. Throw me your options. I haven't fully decided on what barrel options I will choose but I'm leaning toward something relatively useless like 12.5. No more than 16.5 at this time

Xlr magnesium is probably your best bet followed by the MDT HNT26.

Im on the lookout for a reletively light stock that can be weighed down a bit at the range, which is proving to be much harder.

Don't forget Black Collar Arms chassis.
About as light as it gets when it comes to a folding chassis

Leupold VX5HD 3-5x44 with the illuminated reticle. Leupold HD glass from my testing is excellent for low light. Can't go wrong.

Do you intend to hunt in the cold? I would NOT want to be using a metal rifle stock in cold weather... be like holding a piece of ice.

Below 30 degrees- Manners

Above 30 - XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium, Bartlein Carbon wrapped 18" and a T3X .

Per Winny94...

Check the MDT.
Pretty much the Alpha of the light weight, feature rich LW chassis designs. Super solid and ridiculously light.

MDT introduces the HNT26! A 26 Ounce Carbon Fiber Hunting Chassis.

It can’t be unseen now. Thank you

When everything MDT made was god awful looking, and not light weight, the XLR magnesium was the go-to. The HNT26 is where its at now imo. Lighter than the xlr and the pork sword (all three are within 3 oz of each other), and it’s sexy as fuck. The radiused flush fit polymer magazine is bitchin too. My only gripe is that it should fold right, not left, but the current buttstock shape wouldn’t allow that.

8 lbs 7 oz without the Harris. With a Defiance Anti, it would be 7 lbs 15 oz.

The Christiansen Arms MPR chassis looks good for a Remington 700 foot print

Looks like it’s quite a bit heavier than the MDT.

But the MPR with the barreled action is pretty lightweight

 

[srt-4_uk]

Definitely wouldn't consider the MPR a lightweight chassis.

 

[Winny94]

Grayboe also has a couple decent, more stock-ish options if you're not keen on spending $1500+. I think the Trek or Trekkor is like 23oz and the Phoenix (which looks more configurable) is like 32oz.

Is the MPA still lighter than the XLR if a guy had a full length Arca on the MPA?

XLR aluminum chassis/TR2 stock, MPA is lighter but significantly more money.
Aluminum Chassis/carbon stock, XLR is lighter and cheaper.
Mg chassis/carbon stock, XLR is much lighter but more expensive.

Have you thought about a KRG Bravo or X-ray?
