bertrunner, I am going to go with a chassis system. Only a couple for me to choose from though. My action is a Stiller Tac338 so it is a touch bigger than the factory Remmington footprint. The new AI AX chassis will not support it. The AI 2.0 and 1.5 chassis require machining of the lug area to work but neither of them will support the 1.350" diameter barrel. I looked into Drake Associates but theirs is a no go along with several others. Looks like it is going to come down to either a Mcree or an XLR.
None of the "regular" stocks like B&C, McMillan and so forth really work for me. I have a small frame so my hands are small. Regular stocks make me feel like I am stretching to reach the trigger all the time and is rather uncomfortable. With the other chassis systems, they have more of an AR feel to them and fit me much better. Although I would like to get away from the AR "look" on this one, it may not happen.
Got a few more components coming in and once they hit the door, I will have to make my decision when my parts go to the smith to get properly fitted.
