Expert Review Replaced mcmillan stock, super-rigid but lively, excellent machining and cerakote, hi-cap aics mags! - TRYBE Defense R.O.C.S. Rapid Offense Chassis System

Stellar one piece minimalist aluminum chassis, barreled action bolts right into body for increased accuracy and usability.
I replaced the stock on my Savage 10FCP McMillan with this stock. Yep, I replaced an expensive McMillan stock with this TRYBE aluminum chassis. Although this McMillan stock was considered the best of its time when I bought it, it was not glass-bedded, and it was not on pillars, both which can increase accuracy in general.
So I hung that gorgeous spider-webbed big black stock on a peg and installed this aluminum race car with the TRYBE logo on it. I chose OD green.
Installation was simple as pie and as satisfying a seamless fit as you can imagine, since it's simply bolted, metal-on-metal for a perfect interface that won't warp or change your point of impact regardless of temperature or humidity. It's a livelier stock than most solid aluminum stocks, and it's less complicated because it offers only length and comb adjustments, whereas other stocks have myriad available adjustments that frankly, are not always needed, and cause some to mess with their settings ad infinitum rather than practicing fundamental shooing form. Often, more adjustments on a chassis may be a detriment because it takes away the realization that it's the shooter, mainly, not just your equipment that needs to perform.
The machining is gorgeous and so is the Cerakote. I see zero machine marks anywhere, and the polymer trigger housing is also attractive and installed with a roll pin without any installation marks.
The AICS magazine system is the best I have ever used. It takes the cartridges to the top of the magazine from a staggered position to a single cartridge on top of the follower. The cartridge then smoothly enters the chamber at an easier, straighter angle, and you can tell this immediately upon chambering your first round. I use both metal and polymer mags with this perfectly. Also, the ambidextrous magazine release paddle has an appropriately strong spring for certain engagement and release, and is shaped well.
I've used this gun in a long range class with Vortex and taught by people who are among the world's best shooters. At that class I shot this gun ok, but some were 600 yard movers, and this big McMillan stock is just so large around it seemed like I was moving a sofa every time I panned one of those far-away metal targets moving slowly to the left, then another one to the right, then left, and that went on for a whole morning. I missed more shots than people have seen cartridges, maybe. A slimmer stock would have kept the rig more lively and easier to swing. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Also, at that class I had some malfunctions due to magazines. The Savage magazine system, especially for the 10 rounders, sucks. I had malfunctions frequently enough that I never used them much after that class, and now have a drawer full of OEM Savage model 10 mags I'll never use. Good riddance and welcome the most reliable magazine system I know of. That's why it's considered a standard around the world.
The stock is designed well, and my right thumb usually sits comfortably on a ledge above the well-designed TRYBE pistol grip, which has a more vertical angle, which I much prefer off the bench, which is where I'll use this gun. It has a big heavy barrel and I'm not going to carry this heavy sucker around, ever. I have better choices for walking. Again, the stock has a pleasing design and shape, as well as attractive Cerakote OD green.
I installed a pair of MDT weights on the forward M-Lok section for extra forward stability off my bipod and I like that extra heft up front. Later I removed the left side weight and installed a TRYBE DIMA 1000 rangefinder in it's place. This placement was perfect for the little DIMA rangefinder since I could be in shooting position looking through the scope with my right eye, and with the push of the DIMA's remote pressure pad, read the yardage on the rear of the DIMA with my left eye, without losing shooting position, pretty cool and fast as heck. Just for yuks, I weighted the weight alone and the DIMA with ring alone and they were very close to the same weight.
A lot of people shoot this rig. It wears a TRYBE HIPO 6-24x50 FFP riflescope in FDE in TRYBE low 30mm rings, and I swapped the grip for an Anarchy Outdoors Penguin Precision Rifle grip in OD green. This is such a great grip for some of my applications. I like the angle, texture, smooth transition to stock, thickness, and especially the shelf on the bottom and the thumb rest on top. It just feels great to me, try one!
I use the low cheek comb attachment, it comes with several heights. Occasionally It grabs a mustache hairs, so I put a piece of moleskin over it, problem solved.
