Re: My, "I hate chassis" Rant

Even the lower end ones are not accommodating the larger lugs. Only one has been identified as working and it's not one I use. The others all need to be custom ordered ahead of time or milled out. Not for nothing either because I stated it more than once, Manners is a stock, not a complete chassis. The mini chassis is not a chassis in the context I am speaking.
There are some obvious features, and finish differences, as well once you use them the comfort level is noticeably there.
I use a ton of AI and AX chassis, but sometimes I want something else. If we let the builders know where they can improve the chassis, well problem solved. </div></div>
I hear you on wanting to change things up a bit. I also agree that letting them know is key. If they don't know there's a problem, they can't fix it. However, like you said earlier, it might occur to guys charging 2000+ for a stock that somebody may drop a custom action in with some improvements, an obvious one being a larger lug.
I will have to say hi if I see you out at CRC, especially if you have one of these high end chassis systems with you. I've never had the opportunity to get on one and if you say there's that much of a difference, I tend to believe you. While they aren't out of my budget, per se, its more than I'd be willing to spend on their word that it's that much better.
I know on the fly adjustments are sometimes a noted feature, I think Ashbury has a lot of that push the button and adjust whatever feature going on. While I think that makes sense in Military or LE settings where different people may be on the same gun, I'm not sure it makes sense for the competition or recreation shooter to pay extra for when you are going to set it once and leave it.
I guess my point was I think we have features that are attractive to one market, and priced for that market, being offered to another and it may not be as important there, if that makes sense. I'm sure it's not practical as different features require all kinds of R&D and tooling to make them happen, but I sort of feel like a chassis that costs twice as much should be twice as good.
I suppose that's where my lack of time on different systems shows.
