Looking for advice and options on a lightweight chassis system. I haven't decided whether it will be for a short or long action. The gun will be used for elk hunting, so I'd like to keep it fairly light.
Thanks,
Michael

Mdt lss.
2nd on the LSS. You must be mindful about what stock hardware you put on the chassis.
They look good from what I can tell. It's the same chassis the stealth comes with correct? I have a McRees on a long action already. I really like it so far, but it is heavier than what in want to carry around the mountains.

You might want to consider a Manners stock, if you're willing to wait ~6 months
The LSS is about as light as it gets and gives you a whole ton of buttstock choices (AR) so you can go as light as you feel works for you. I am actually considering doing just that with a 111 short barrel suppressed and using a folder for hunting in a blind. Light AND small for getting in and out.
Have one on my model 11 in .308. I really like it, especially for the price. I wouldn't call it a lightweight rifle though. I tried to keep the components light but ended up at just over 10lbs. Fit and finish were great and bolted right in slick as can be. I added a polymer rail under the front for bipod attachment, but that weight is without the bipod.
Another vote for MDT, and satisfied customer.
For those of you that are pitching for the MDT, how many of you have hiked in the mountains with them?
Not me, that's why I gave a weight on my rifle. I would not sling it up for a long hike. It may be lightweight for an aluminum chassis but it defiantly adds weight over some other options.
I haven't but the base LSS is only about a pound and a half and a typical AR15 stock and grip is maybe a pound. So as far as an alternative stock/chassis set up for a carry rifle it is pretty light.Quote:
