Grayboe stock vs MDT Chassis

[TheCanadianOne]

I'm still on the fence of which to pair with an Aero precision solus barreled action (M24 barrel profile) for a future build. I've done the research on each of them but appreciate some feedback from those who have used them before. Id like to keep the weight managable but I dont plan for it to be an alpine gun. For those that have used either, what's been your experience?

Chassis stocks look cool, but unless you compete or only use it for a range rifle most of them aren't the kind of stock that you would want on a hunting rifle.
I love my KRG Whiskey 3 chassis, but it would be my last choice for a gun to carry around.

On the other hand, Chassis stock's like the KRG Bravo, and the Woox Exactus look, feel and handle like a traditional stock.

I've looked at Greyboe stocks, but for about the same money, I'd buy a Manners or McMillan.

Yeah that's kinda what I figured. I have no issue chassis but if I plan to do a hunt in the future I'd want the rifle comfortably set up for it. Living in TX, the heat can be a nuisance especially when holding a metal chassis that can hold heat. I considered looking back at McMillan early on but with what I was looking to do, the Grayboe came out ahead in price and weight.

I personally don’t care for the looks of chassis rifles but the modularity and adjustability is nice if the application dictates needing those items.

That said, MDT makes a chassis that is advertised for hunting. The folding stock is a nice option for mountain hunting.

HNT26 Chassis System

The first purpose-built hunting chassis from MDT. Weighing in starting at 26oz (for chassis stock, buttstock, forend and pistol grip combined), this is the most ultra-light hunting rifle chassis on the market.

I’ve had chassis on savage 10/110’s if you’re shooting off a bench they are nice especially because my wife and I are different shapes it was great to tweak. That being said it was heavy and it was trash to sling and walk around with. My wife also preferred having a hunting stock just setup for her with the LOP and a comb riser.

Right now I’ve got a Magpul hunter on my Ruger American and it slings better just wander around the property, but I haven’t done anything distance wise.
