| Troy MCS SASS Sniper Chassis Conversion
I have a Springfield Armory Loaded rifle and I am considering taking the factory stock off and replacing with a Troy Industries MCS SASS Sniper Chassis. Has anybody done this conversion? What are your thoughts? Regrets? Is it worth doing?
Please advise.

I have a Scout that I put in that chassis a couple of months ago. I am very pleased with it. You may notice most of the guys on this part of the forum are happy EBR owners but there are a few with the MCS. It certainly is a little heavier than the EBR. I think it's pretty well-built and worth what you pay for it. Personally, I thought the EBR was kind of uggo - though now the Mod 0 is growing on me, especially in Navy Seal Gray. Still love the MCS though and the weight doesn't bother me. As a sniper-type set-up, the weight is in your favor. If you're going to carry it around and hunt with it, and prone to complain about such things, well, I'm warning you now. They get a little beefy with a scope on them.
If you are going to get one, two things:
1. Fit it together (pretty easy) then go back and Loc-tite every fastener.
2. Wait until a national holiday to place an order. They've been doing 20% off sales around those times. More for your money.

Thanks, I appreciate your input. It will mainly be a target rifle to use at the range. I have a Hensoldt, 4x16-56mm scope with badger ordnance rings I am going to mount on it. I have other rifles for hunting.

The guy whose property I shoot at is "an AR guy" and he likes to run around with his. He's compelled to pass his "your gun is too heavy" philosophy on me constantly. You can do it, but it's not as much fun to run around swat-style with this thing.

Please advise. | I purchased my parts separate from the Chassis and saved a few dollars from what I could tell.
I have a pre-ban Springfield that I put in my Troy stock and while I really love the stock, I think that the SAGE does a better job of isolating the barrel and allowing tuning of the barrel to get the max out of it. That said, I like the Troy for optics better.
I don't regret it one bit!!! I love this rifle in this stock.
