Chassis?

[ducky]

So I'm interested in trying a Chassis for a rifle build. I'm wading through a lot of different options. My biggest issue is weight as I'm not looking to build a 20lb PRS rifle. I'd like to budget less than $1000 for the complete chassis and stay preferably around $800 for the complete chassis.

So how realistic is my goal to stay around 36 ounces? I really don't want to go over 40 ounces if possible. I'll be using my M700 action and a 18‐20" light varmint contour barrel to build a .223 Rem.

You could do an XLR Element in aluminum with the carbon butt stock. Non-folding would be 35oz and under $800. Add the side folder for another $145 but it add 5oz. I the same XLR Element, however it is the magnesium chassis. It is a very nice chassis. Haven't used for hunting yet as I just built this rifle, so still undecided on that or if I would prefer a Manners PH.

Woox might have something in the range

At ~$400 range, the Oryx chassis is your best bet It's heavy and stock non-folding, but it"S very good. I built my .257WBY with it.

What is your goal weight for the hunt-ready setup?

MPA Ultralite is an option

Magpul hunters are inexpensive a decent
