Chassis vs Stocks

[Claytom Magnet]

Trying to decide which one to go for. It'll be for a Tikka T3 and mostly used for some long distance shooting. What are the pros and cons of either?

 

[Shabazz]

What chassis and what stock are you comparing, or what price range and features are you looking for in a chassis/stock?

 

[Claytom Magnet]

An HS3 or X ray chassis or Boyds stock

Ultimately it comes down to what you like.

I prefer the chassis because I can switch shooters and positions and easily adjust my rifle to suit.

My LOP and my wife's are different and the chassis makes it easy.

Performance wise they really the same.

Very personal decision so use what makes you happy. I have both and in terms of accurate shooting it doesn't matter to me. I can get good results with either a conventional stock or a chassis. Best if you know someone with a chassis you like that you can try.

If your located in Manitoba let me know as you are welcome to try what I have.

X-ray, hands down, no contest.
A rifle is more accurate when it fits you well.

I prefer the look of a nice stock, but the ergos of the chassis with a pistol grip fit me a lot better.

Chassis are nice because you don't need separate detachable magazine bottom metal. I use McMillan A5s and Dolphin chassis, really up to personal preference. Fondle one before you buy.
