The Magpul won't be in the same category frankly. It's not as customizable and any traditional stock even with a chassis system usually needs bedding to perform at an optimal unlike an aluminum chassis such a this. I know a bit about the development and there will be a lot of options coming after the initial release. They also took this chassis out for testing with a well known competition shooter in the practical rifle long range community who is helping them to further improve it. Is it perfect out of the gate? No... But it will only get better as they move towards production and get feedback from guys who shoot competitively and have employed dozens of different stock systems.

I thought pretty hard about getting the Orias but decided against it. It's around $800 and doesn't come with a stock, adding a magpul PRS or some other adjustable deal would bring the price around $1000, so why not just get something from another manufacturer that already has adjustable length or pull, comb, and folds?
I'm finalizing a 6.5 Creedmoor build and went with a Whiskey 3 instead (my second). The Orias' self adjusting lug thingy is a neat feature but if your talking about mounting an action that's been worked/trued by a good gunsmith, it's not really going to do much.
The design of the removable back piece looks like they will eventually be able to develop a streamlined folding version, but who knows when that will be out... and I want my build done nowwww!!!!
Edit: I think chassis like the Orias fall into a weird category where there are a lot of less expensive options that do similar things, and there are more expensive options that offer complete "out of the box" solutions.
It looks pretty sweet though. Excited to see what the second generation is going to look like.

I agree they missed the mark on the pricing of this. With complete XLR Element chassis or the McRees chassis going for around $600 it's honestly not even a consideration at their price point. 1K+ by time a stock and buffer tube is added you are in AI territory.
