    I thought about these. I consider them the budget side. Does it fit budget

      You said your budget was $400-700. MDT fits that budget very nicely starting at $399.

        The $400 chassis with no buttstock turns into $700 real quick when you add a magpul PRS stock and a pistol grip.

            Nice. Did you already own the PRS stock instead of getting the MDT stock?

              Coming from a guy that's had a few different chassis, I got rid of them all when I found a nice Manners stock.

              I may buy a chassis down the road, but I find both McMillan and Manners to have very ergonomical offerings.

                That's a luth stock, not a Magpul PRS.

                  Hence why I suggested the Grayboe.
                  It's a McMillan A5 made more like an HS or B&C with McMillan's good graces.

                  At $400 with the DBM, no chassis will come near it for ergonomics or price.

                    Wow, that's stupid cheap.

                    OP, get yourself the Grayboe and call it a day!

                    That hook comes in handy when you use your offhand to pull the rifle into your shoulder.

                    I run an A5 myself on my tack driver and a T4 on another range toy.

                      When I say made like an HS or B&C, I'm talking about the thinner shell, not the shape.
                      It's a proper A5 shape.
                      They only make them in 1 configuration to keep costs low so customization options like light vs heavy fill or adjustable cheekpiece etc.

                      As most people will not have a need to park their F150 on their stock that's spanning two bricks, the thinner shell will be fine for most people.

                          I was able to shoot a savage GRS and really liked it honestly.

                            I was at Cabela's fondling one, and the GRS stock really seems to be polarizing. People love it or hate it.

                                There was a coupon code putting the stock and DBM under $400 too IIRC.

                                edit: yep GB10 at checkout will give oyu 10% off. On a $440 stock thats $44 off.
