Description
Chassis systems earned their reputation on the range, not the mountain, and that has always been the trade-off: rock-solid accuracy in a package too heavy to carry all day. The MDT HNT26 flips that script. Built around your Remington 700 short action, right-hand receiver, it pairs a machined AZ61A magnesium alloy base with carbon fiber touch points to land at a starting weight of roughly 26 ounces, with the folding and ARCA configuration coming in closer to 31 ounces. That is chassis-grade rigidity at the weight of a good lightweight stock.
Why the HNT26 Feels Right in the Field
The carbon fiber forend, grip, and foam-filled buttstock do more than shave ounces. Carbon fiber stays warm to the touch on cold mornings, so you lose the bite of an all-metal chassis when the temperature drops, and the foam-filled stock helps deaden sound, vibration, and felt recoil. MDT smoothed out the whole profile to cut snag points, and the magazine latch tucks cleanly into the trigger guard so nothing catches on your pack or sling when you are moving fast.
Dialing In the HNT26 Chassis
The heart of the system is V-block bedding, which gives your action a solid, repeatable seat for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. Length of pull and comb height both adjust tool-free, so you can tune the fit to your build and get your eye behind the scope the same way every time. It runs AICS-pattern magazines, meaning quick, reliable mag swaps and a huge selection of capacities and calibers to choose from.
Built to Carry and Mount
This configuration includes the carbon fiber forend with an integral ARCA rail, ideal for hunters running tripods, plus a folding buttstock for compact transport in a pack, scabbard, or bush plane. The enclosed forend carries M-LOK slots for bipods and accessories, along with QD and sling swivel mounting for whatever carry setup you prefer. The grip accepts most AR-pattern grips if you want to swap it, though the featherweight carbon unit is tough to beat on a hunting rig.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifle does the HNT26 chassis fit?
This model is cut specifically for the Remington 700 short action with a right-hand receiver. It drops the action into a V-block bedding system for a repeatable, accurate fit. It will not fit long or medium actions or left-hand receivers, so make sure your barreled action matches before ordering.
How much does the MDT HNT26 chassis weigh?
The HNT26 line starts at about 26 ounces for the standard fixed version. This folding buttstock with ARCA forend configuration lands closer to 31 ounces since those features add a little material. Even at the top of that range, it is remarkably light for a chassis system and built for hunters counting every ounce.
Does the HNT26 use AICS magazines?
Yes. The chassis is built around AICS-pattern magazines, so you get quick, reliable mag changes and a wide selection of capacities and calibers on the market. The low-profile mag latch integrates into the trigger guard to keep the profile clean and snag-free.
Can I adjust the length of pull and comb height?
Both adjust without tools, letting you tune the fit to your body and shooting position. Length of pull is set with spacers, and the comb rises to get your eye centered behind the scope. Getting a consistent cheek weld and reach makes a real difference on longer shots in the field.
