Hi Everyone,
I currently have this Savage 10 BA.

It is a heavy beast and I would like to lighten my load.:mad: The current chassis weighs in at 7 lbs, and I found an XLR chassis that weighs 4 lbs. To me the expense seems worth it IF it works. Does anyone have any experience with these? All advice is appreciated

On the other hand, I recently bought a Model 10 that someone had bubba'd into a chassis and called Savage about it. They sent me a stock for a 10 FN and a magazine box. I think I only paid about $100.00 for the whole shebang, including shipping.

I gave away the chassis stock. It didn't fit the rifle anyway and now I have a nice 10 FN
 
Hi NoSecondBest,
It seems that young people have decided to refer to a modular bolt rifle stock that includes a pistol grip and magazine as a chassis. Some can be further customized by adding a folding stock option. To guys like me, that cut their teeth on an M-16, a pistol grip is the only way to fly. I would put a pistol grip on my Beeman .22 pellet rifle if I could.

Here is a picture of a rifle like mine with an XLR chassis

I prefer black to red or green.

PawPaw,
I was checking out your blog and saw this youtube piece on Trayvon/Zimmerman. Boy that is pretty powerful.

I did look at the JP chassis and it's very nice, however it is priced at $1,100 although they give 2 mags. Since I'm not going off to war one mag is plenty for paper punching and pig hunting. Another thing I don't like about the JP and my Savage chassis is the palm shelf. To me it seems to add weight without any benefit. Resting my palm on the shelf creates accuracy problems for me so I took it off. I'm left with an extra long pistol grip that has caused problems when trying to go prone on uneven ground.

I don't think one can blame the younger generation for bringing the term "chassis" into the firearm arena. While they are quite responsible for bringing their "shotty" to the range, they aren't the ones looking for a better "chassis" for their rifle.

The tactically inclined folks and more so the businesses that manufacturer those parts are much more responsible, IMO.

Check out this company....a popular supplier to those long range shooters looking to put their barreled receiver into something other than the 700 stock that Remington shipped it with from the factory.
