What's "state of the art" in chassis type stocks?

[CUSTOM1911FAN]

Howdy All,

Well, it's been a long while since I built a nice bolt gun. After a long period if being unemployed, and then underemployed, I am finally making good money and looking to build a 300 Win Mag bolt gun.

Now, back in 2006, when I had my last gun built, the Accuracy International stock system seemed like it was coming on strong and was a better choice over the traditional glass bedded fiberglass stock. (Again, that's an impression, more so than an informed opinion.) Now, I see that Remington is using a chassis system in their MWS rifle. I see that JP Rifles is offering their own chassis system, as well.

SO, can anyone give me a run down of what systems are out there, plus strengths and weaknesses of those systems? Another question is, have chassis systems really outperformed the traditional bedded stock system?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the time, the only department in which a chassis will out-perform a stock is in versatility and adaptability.

There is a chassis guide on here somewhere, I'm having trouble finding it though...

AICS AX looks a nice chassis stock

I LOVE mine! Great features. The chassis fits me very well. The side-folder is rock solid in both the open and folded positions. That is one thing that bugs me about a lot of other side-folder chassis systems.

The Eliseo chassis is another favorite of mine but it is a slightly different animal more (IMHO) suited for an awesome benchrest rig. We built this rifle for a customer and he now has three national F-class records with it:
