Right now I'm shooting an 18" 308 barrel on this rifle but I plan to upgrade it to a high end 24" Creedmoor plus suppressor. Is this too much barrel for the LSS chassis? I don't think the barrel should matter since the chassis is bolted to the receiver only... it doesn't know how long the barrel is. Its description states "For rifles with longer barrels to be used for long range (past 900 meters) we recommend our TAC21 or our HS3 Chassis systems" so that has me reconsidering. The larger options are a full $100 more so that puts the chassis a bit out of my price range, although I'd entertain the idea. I'd like to get into some classes and competition but for now this is just my fun gun for shooting steel. If you were in my shoes, which route would you go?

Thanks!

You don't need the buffer, just the tube and buttstock of your choice. The LSS has an allen lock nut as well, so as long as you aren't being crazy rough with it, will easily hold until you buy a nut. And you are correct, the stock is PLENTY relived for any barrel diameter. The reason they suggest a different stock for "long barrels", is due to the forearm length. The LSS is rather short, so when you mount the bi-pod the OAL of the bipod contact(ground) and you at the buttstock is shorter than some like. I doesn't bother me, but some want to be as long as possible for stability.
