I went with the HMR because I didn’t want a Chassis rifle. Not that there is anything wrong with them (in fact they are usually more accurate) but, I like the looks of this one better (personal choice). The stock is adjustable for LOP and cheek hight. It is also free full floated (barrel) and has an aluminum piece embedded in the stock to add rigidity. The barrel is only 22”s but according to some research , you only lose around 60-70 FPS compared to a 26” barrel. But, you gain less weight and shorter profile. Guess that’s not a big deal on a “target” rifle but, whatever. Enlarged bolt knob helps throw the 90 degree action to cycle in a new round with ease. This bolt is smooth as butta! The factory trigger is amazing for a factory trigger. They say it’s adjusted to 3 lbs from the factory but, mine feels lighter. The break is clean and brisk with no take up or creep at all. Also, very little movement rearward of the trigger after it breaks. It’s nice , really nice. I can drop a Timney in there but, why? This one will do the job. Maybe time will tell me differently. Forgot to mention the barrel is threaded for a brake or suppressor. I’ll throw a brake on there to help stay on target with follow up shots.
