A short action rig with a 20-22 tube and no brake would shave considerable weight.
It has an AG stock in the APR design with an APR contoured Muller barrel on a defiance tenacity. The empty rifle is just under 7 and the barrel finished at .700 at the muzzle.

Thanks for posting this. I was thinking about something just like this as one of the options. It checks a lot of boxes. Moderate weight, moderate pricing, left hand availability on stocks and actions and the ability to muzzle thread at any length.Last edited by Stick1; 12-06-2019, 11:17 AM.

I aint interested in a 15 pound PRS rifle with a 26 inch barrel, about 1/2 of those chassis stocked rifles dont fit me, they feel clumsy and are uncomfortable to drag around.
So there, I put my .02 cents worth in.

What about two options again this year? Light and Heavy? Would APR still get group buy rates from AG if we did two different stock options? Same question about two different barrel contours from the same maker? For example:
Option 1 Light: AG Privateer, Muller lighter contour barrel
Option 2 Heavy: AG Adjustable Hunter, Muller heavier contour barrel
Action, trigger, etc. could be the same

Exactly what I was thinking. To me a pistol grip is counter-intuitive (a pistol grip is to control a rifle, ie. a fast shooting carbine, but you want to minimize your your control of a a precision rifle). At least that has been my impression previously. But, I think it’s time for me to get on the chassis train. If it can be with this build, that’s even better!

The problem here was the price. Robert estimated a 4500-5k price tag as a possibility. That puts a lot of people out of the group buy.

I have no issues with pistol grip stock/chassis as I’ve been shooting them the past 10 years but now am looking to transition back to my “roots” if you will. A hunting stock with a 20” barrel is what I’m after. Compact deer killing machine!

Carbon option would be nice as I don’t have one yet
