What an improvement... - TRYBE Defense R.O.C.S. Rapid Offense Chassis System

My brother gave me a Ruger American in .308 for hunting. When I put it on the range, I could not keep inside 6" at the 50yd line. Yea, that bad. Being a certified Gunsmith, I evaluated all surfaces, floating barrel, concentricity, flushness...all the blueprint potential adjustments that don't typically come from the big manufacturers anymore. While I did make some adjustments, I only bettered my shooting to about a 4" diameter (still at 50yds). My next step was to throw away the synthetic stock and make one from walnut. After having considered the time (which I am most always short on, cause I am fixing customers guns), I decided to go with an alum chassis. The ROCS has a very good price point and thought I would experiment. Long story short... I am now at the 100yd mark and within 1.25". I realize I am not there yet, but I am truly pleased by the difference this chassis made. At this point, I will start comparing ammo loads. Well worth the price, even if it does not come with easy adjustments to LOP. Now, while I planned on using the gun for hunting, I will add that the chassis makes the rifle pretty long (sorry, I don't have the dimensions), some of you may not like that...I don't feel that is ideal either. Just be aware. Living/hunting in PA, my lengthy shots "may" reach 350yds. So, I will likely reduce the barrel length and recrown. Bottom line...good buy at a good price.
