Modern Precision Rifles
Long range shooters who maximize their accuracy understand the benefits a modern precision rifle chassis provides over traditional wood or fiberglass stocks. Rifle chassis offers a stable shooting platform that won't warp over time, with the added benefit of easy customization to provide versatile comfort in most settings. The right modern precision rifle chassis is perfect for improving accuracy in PRS or NRL Hunter competitions, target shooting, and long-range hunting applications.
Modern Precision Rifle Chassis Material Options
Aluminum is the most popular material for chassis manufacturing due to its contribution to creating a durable, lightweight precision rifle. This option is typically affordable enough to match any budget.
Magnesium is less cost-effective but provides additional benefits that make it worth the expense. Magnesium is 33% lighter than aluminum which allows companies to make a durable and ultralight chassis like the Element 4.0 Magnesium.
Polymer chassis offers the same durability and creates a comparable lightweight rifle chassis. Polymer is less rigid than aluminum but is weather-resistant. Typically polymer is cheaper than aluminum or magnesium but it comes with a weight penalty.
Tailoring Your Precision Rifle
The beauty of choosing a modern precision rifle chassis is the variety of individual component options. These features can add or subtract weight, provide additional comfort while shooting, and stabilize your rifle for added accuracy.
Modern Rifles For Competitive Shooters
Select a modern precision rifle chassis that offers extra weight and an adjustable buttstock to keep the rifle balanced, reduce recoil, and allow for a precision fitment. Chassis offer an excellent platform for Benchrest, PRS, and F-Class shooters so they can compete at the highest level. According to the 2024 “What the Pros Use” article, 67% of the top 200 shooters in PRS used chassis rifles. This includes Kahl Harmon who used the XLR Envy Pro chassis to win the 2023 PRS Championship. You can check out his rifle configuration by clicking HERE, or below.
Modern Rifles For Tactical Shooters
Tactical modern precision rifle chassis setups should include a lightweight adjustable system that can be easily adapted to match a variety of scenarios. Adjustable length of pull, a folding stock and a comfortable grip are essential to tactical shooters. This is why military, border patrol, and law enforcement personnel all trust XLR Chassis to keep them safe. The specs for the Element 4.0 pictured are listed below.
Modern Rifles For Hunters
A chassis system built for long-range hunting needs to be lightweight, weatherproof and rugged and offer useful features. Folding stock technology makes it easy to pack your modern precision rifle in the field without taking up unnecessary space, keeping your rifle's profile small to maneuver easily. Modern Precision rifles have been changing the hunting rifle market due to their modularity. An integrated arca rail allows hunters to build a highly stable position in any terrain. Shooting over brush, grass, or short trees can now be easily achievable with the use of a modern precision rifle and a tripod.
Benefits of the Modern Chassis
You cannot achieve the full benefits of a modern precision rifle by utilizing the adjustable buttstock and finding the perfect grip. These buttstocks include the XLR TR-2 buttstock, carbon buttstock and C-6 buttstock. Having the ability to fine tune your modern precision rifle increases your rifle's accuracy. You can choose from the variety of different buttstocks above and select the buttstock that suits your needs the best.
Chassis grips are also interchangeable for your comfort, letting you choose a size and shape that molds well to your hand. Choosing a grip like the TLC will give a shooter with larger hands a great palm swell to hold onto. The carbon grip will allow backcountry hunters to strip every ounce possible off their rifle. Having a modular precision rifle will allow you to choose what suits you best for your application.
