Default Chassis recommendations...

I am contemplating putting my CZ457 into an aluminum chassis for CRPS and long distance shooting. Does anyone here have any experience with the MDT Oryx chassis or the MDT XRS hybrid chassis? I am interested in any thoughts or recommendations you might have regarding either of these chassis or something else that has worked well for you. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

I have my cz 457 in an ACC chassis, for CRPS I would recommend the ACC, you will be able to add weights at the front and back, not for recoil management but for balance of the rifle on props.
I have a XRS on a tikka T3, it is ok, but more limited for options later.
If you get the ACC, make sure you also get the magazine latch extension.
My setup for CRPS is 16 lbs, and it balances 3 inches in front of the mag well.

I’m really happy with my XLR element. It’s a lot more solid than my MDT chasis was.

Here’s a little video I did if my build of your interested.

I really like the Xlr chasis idk about them being more solid then the MDT I've held both and I cannot see what makes it more "Solid" both great options MDT is definitely alot easier to get as multiple shops in Canada stock them.
