NRL hunter and PRS chassis input

[LRshooter6.5]

I currently run a Curtis valor in a KRG whiskey 3 and heavy Palma 26" for my competition and hunting set up. I'm looking to lighten the load since it currently weighs just south of 16lbs. Lugging around a 16lb rifle elk hunting hasn't been horrible since I use a Kifaru scabbard but I'd like to get it south of 12lb so I can qualify for NRL hunter lite division. However, and this is important, I'd like to be able to add weight to the chassis so I can have a 18+lb rifle for prs. If I rebarrel to a #4 sporter and get a light weight chassis I should be able to make weight. Seems like the XLR element magnesium would be the ticket since I can as a different butt stock and internal weights to it but I'm looking for other options if they exist. Thanks in advance.

The XLR Element MG and the MDT HNT26 seem to be some of the most common chassis within the NRL hunter. I know Ultradyne makes a chassis that is similar to XLR's, but I believe that the XLR is still a little lighter. What caliber are you planning on running?

6.5 Creedmoor for PRS and 6.5 PRC for NRL hunter/hunting. I could always get two chassis but I'd prefer to just get one. Depending on the price to weigh the chassis down with accessories it might be better to just get two though.

I like the ultradyne but I don't like the light butt stock since the cheek piece is fixed and there are no internal weights

I've not shot the KRG whiskey 3 so I would not be able to compare it to the XLR Element magnesium chassis I had. For modularity purposes I really liked the XLR and the adjustable cheekpiece on the lightweight butt stock is nice as well. However, I would get a tuning fork feel/sound from the lightweight butt stock when shooting my 7mm PRC. It's not a big issue and may not even be a concern with you planning on shooting a 6.5 PRC. The butt stock tube is hollow so I'm sure some high density foam would help mitigate the tuning fork feel/sound as well.
