MDT HNT chassis
So I just got the chassis two weeks ago in a short action Remington clone. Color is black and I got the arca non-folding version but I own the arca folding version in cobalt green which is a sick color. It’s in short action but my other one is long action. The black looks great and will go perfect with a black carbon barrel. The weight is right at 26 oz without any spacers in non-folding version. I’m 6’4 and shoot with four spacers. For what it’s worth, with the long action chassis (HNT 26), arca Mount and the FOLDING MODEL the weight still came in very slightly less than 2 lbs! There is a tiny bit of play in the folding version which is absolutely acceptable. The non folding is extremely rigid. I liked the first so much I bought another one. I put 300 PRC in the LA and the SA will be 25 SST. They work great with a full arca rail. I’ve already shot 3 shot super tight groups just in load development so far with a 3 shot .10” including many others that were .25 ish so I know it’s improving accuracy. I know it’s expensive but when you consider a stock at $1,000 and add cups, texture, bottom metal etc it’s really a no brainer to me… especially as I don’t bed my chassis’s. If you’re going to bed a stock this chassis is an absolute no-brainer IMO! I absolutely love them! I put Hawkins ultralight rings on and was told (not by Altus) that you need the 1.25” for a 50mm bell but you could make the next size lower work no problem. To sum it up, it is a very rigid chassis but don’t over tighten the screws to attach the forend. I bought MDT’s lightweight 3 round 308/6.5 CM mag and it fits without hanging low at all so is perfect for hunting. Wish they’d make one in 300 WSM AND CIP length for the long action. Overall I’m 100% satisfied with the chassis. It helped me keep a setup with receiver, 24” carbon barrel, TT trigger, titanium brake, 4.5-22x FFP scope, rings and 3 round magazine under 8lbs! And it shoots amazing! You won’t regret it!
