Kinetic Research Group T1x Bravo Chassis Review

The Bravo Chassis adds a centerfire sized feel to the Tikka T1x.
The Bravo Chassis adds a centerfire sized feel to the Tikka T1x.

We have been having a ton of fun with the Tikka T1x .22LR rifle. My intention is to use it as a NRL22 Base Class rifle. However, I also want to show some upgrade options for shooters who get the bug and wish to move up from Base Class into Open Class. Our first “upgrade” is to replace the plastic stock with a proper chassis system. We will get “wild” in future posts, but I want to keep this step in the “Budget” category.

We have reviewed the Kinetic Research Group Bravo Chassis for the Remington 700 in the past. KRG produces the Bravo in several different inlet patterns to include the Tikka T3. KRG has now configured their T3 version to fit the T1x. Continue reading Kinetic Research Group T1x Bravo Chassis Review →

Modular Driven Technologies has announced the release of their new Adjustable Core Competition (ACC) Chassis. This chassis uses a fully customizable steel weight system integrated in the buttstock, barrel channel and forend. With the ACC you have nine pounds of weight to perfectly balance your competition rifle.

We have been working with one of the prototypes of this chassis and it is amazing. We hope to have a production version in our hands soon for a full review.

You can pre-order the MDT ACC today. Chassis will ship mid-October.

First Look: McMillan A6 Fiberglass Stock

Leave a comment

McMillan is well known for their high-quality fiberglass stocks. My experience with McMillan products began when I was issued an M40A1 Sniper Rifle in the US Marine Corps. Since then, I have grown to respect the quality and durability that McMillan builds into their products. When McMillan offered me the chance to look at their latest stock design, I quickly accepted.

The McMillan A6 is an evolution of their tactical rifle stock lineage. The A6 in silhouette appears very similar to the A5 or A3-5. However, there are some key differences. Continue reading First Look: McMillan A6 Fiberglass Stock →

Modular Driven Technologies TAC 21 Chassis Review

4 Comments

Modular Driven Technologies is a Canadian based company that has been making rifle accessories for some time now. In the past we have reviewed the LSS chassis and the HS3. After reviewing those systems, we received several requests to review the TAC21. The MDT TAC21 Chassis predates the LSS and HS3. It seems to sit at the opposite end of the design spectrum. All three chassis use AR type stocks and grips. The LSS and HS3 take an almost minimalist approach to chassis design. The TAC21 is a behemoth in comparison.

American Built Arms Mod*X Chassis Review

Leave a comment

We have used and reviewed a variety of chassis systems for bolt action rifles. At this point you would think that we would be tired of breaking out our test-action and bolting it into another. However each time we try a new chassis, we find things we like, dislike and may have never considered before. When American Built Arms contacted us to take a look at their Mod*X chassis, we humbly accepted.

The AB Arms, Mod*X Chassis is an “AR Type” chassis system. It utilizes an aluminum center section that accepts AR type buttstocks and pistol grips. The forend tube is similar to the railed hand guards used on AR rifles, but uses a proprietary attachment, unique to the Mod*X. Standard AR rail systems will not work on the Mod*X.

Kinetic Research Group X-Ray Chassis Review

23 Comments

KRG X-RayI have been a fan of the Whiskey 3 Chassis from Kinetic Research Group since I was given the opportunity to try the first generation. I used a Gen 3 Whiskey 3 Chassis on my 2014 Precision Rifle Series competition rifle. The Whiskey 3 is an excellent chassis, but the reality is that not every one is in the financial position to be able to afford one.

What if you could reap most of the benefits of the Whiskey 3 Chassis, but at a fraction of the price? This is exactly what KRG delivers with the X-Ray Chassis. Continue reading Kinetic Research Group X-Ray Chassis Review →

Modular Driven Technologies LSS Chassis Review

16 Comments

MDT LSS ChassisThe market is currently flooded with chassis systems for the Remington 700 rifle. This is for good reason. Chassis systems offer several advantages over a traditional stock. One significant disadvantage to chassis systems is cost. Most are much more expensive than traditional rifle stocks. For this reason I was extremely excited when Modular Driven Technologies sent us one of their $399 LSS Chassis. Continue reading Modular Driven Technologies LSS Chassis Review →
