I love some and some not so much.
What I hear the most:
It's a love hate relationship with chassis stocks.
The cool factor is always present with a chassis stock.
Chassis stocks are cold!
Features are great and the flexibility is nice.
Often don't have to spend the money on a detachable mag housing as it is incorporated.
Adjustability!
Many who jumped on the chassis stock for their rifle have choose to go back to more traditional stocks even with added cost of adding a detachable mag, etc. This seems to be something that happens with those who shoot a lot vs the shooter who doesn't as much.
A few close shooters of mine spent the big money and bought some really great, well designed chassis stocks. Today they opt for a traditional stock simply because it "feels" better in the shooting they do. Both still own those chassis stocks but they are not used as their primary rifle.
With any stock, it's always best to be able to get behind one before dropping the coin if you can.
