Kinetic Research Group specializes in long-range precision shooting components and was founded by several Special Forces Veterans. Although they’ve been around for several years, they continue to run the business lean, like a startup and due to their specialized nature, are relatively unknown outside of the “Sniper” community. They’ve got several new items coming in the future, but I thought SSD readers would be interested in their Whiskey-3 And X-Ray Chassis.
Whiskey-3 (Gen 5)
The Whiskey-3 chassis combines precise aluminum bedding with tool-less adjustments, durability, and excellent ergonomics. The chassis will accept the Accuracy International magazine without any special bottom metal. Available in fixed and folding options.

-Sako (for TRG-22 only)
Inlet:
-Rem 700 SA/LA
-Tikka T3 (SA calibers only)
-Sako TRG-22/42
-Sako M995
Weight:
-3.8lbs fixed

Price:
-$899 fixed
-$1299 folding

X-Ray (Gen 2)
The X-Ray chassis was designed as a less expensive option to the Whiskey-3. It is lightweight, user adjustable and offers similar ergonomics but it’s going to take a little more work to set everything up. This tradeoff means you can be in a KRG chassis for half (or less) the price of the W3. However, it’s only available as a fixed stock. There’s a lot of info on their website about this stock so make sure this is the one for you.

I’ve got a Gen3 W-3 Chassis for my 700-SA, and while a bit heavier then other stocks systems, I wouldn’t trade it. Rock solid and very comfortable.
