Description
MDT built the XRS for the person who loves the balance and hand-feel of a classic rifle stock but doesn't want to give up what a modern chassis brings to the table. Wrapped around your Remington 700 short action, it delivers a free-floating barrel, a rock-solid bedding surface, and enough adjustment to fit you like a glove, all without the boxy, oversized footprint some full chassis systems carry. In Flat Dark Earth, it looks the part on a hunting rifle just as much as a target build.
What Makes the XRS Chassis Tick
The backbone is a full-length CNC-machined 6061 aluminum core wearing textured polymer side panels, so it stays comfortable in your hands whether you're out in the cold or the heat. A precision aluminum V-block bedding system cradles the action for repeatable fit, and reviewers consistently note how rigid the whole thing feels with no flex or creak in the forend or buttstock under load. At right around 3.9 pounds depending on your inlet, it sits in a sweet spot between a lightweight hunter and a heavier target rig.
Dialing In Your XRS
Length of pull adjusts through interlocking spacers that rotate in and out, running from roughly 13.25 inches up past 15 inches so you can add more if you need them. The quick-adjust cheek piece rides on twin guide rods and locks your eye behind the scope at the right height. Two grips come in the box, a vertical grip for that precision-rifle feel and a more angled grip closer to a traditional hunting setup, and swapping between them takes seconds.
Room to Grow
The generous 12-inch forend is loaded with M-LOK slots along the sides and bottom for bipods, ARCA or Picatinny rails, weights, and slings. It runs standard AICS-pattern magazines with an ambidextrous latch that's easy to work, and a barricade stop up front helps you build a stable position off gear. Installation is about as simple as it gets: pull the action screws, drop the barreled action in, torque it down, and you're shooting. It works great as a straight upgrade to a factory 700 or as the foundation for a custom build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MDT XRS fit my Remington 700 short action?
Yes, this inlet is cut specifically for the Remington 700 short action footprint and drops right in. It also fits many actions built to the 700 pattern. If you're running a custom action, just confirm it uses standard Rem 700 short action dimensions before ordering.
Is the XRS chassis hard to install?
Not at all. Once the rifle is unloaded, you back out the two action screws, lift the barreled action out of your old stock, set it into the XRS V-block, and torque the screws back down. Most people have it done in a few minutes with a single hex key.
What magazines does the XRS Remington 700 chassis take?
It runs standard AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, which are widely available in common calibers like .223 and .308. The ambidextrous magazine latch is easy to reach and work from either side.
Can I add a bipod, ARCA rail, or weights to the forend?
Absolutely. The 12-inch forend has M-LOK slots along the sides and bottom, so you can mount M-LOK bipods directly or attach ARCA and Picatinny rail sections. MDT also offers an internal forend weight and an enclosed forend accessory if you want to tune balance for competition.
