The HNT26 was MDT's answer to a question hunters kept asking: can a chassis be light enough to actually carry all day and still shoot like a chassis? This one is built around your right-hand Tikka T3x long action, and it pairs a magnesium alloy core with carbon fiber touch points to keep the whole package starting around 26 ounces including the chassis, buttstock, forend and grip. That's stock territory in terms of weight, but you get the rigidity, repeatable bedding, and AICS magazine feeding that a real chassis brings to the table.
The magnesium base gives you the stiffness and durability of a metal chassis, while the carbon fiber forend, grip, and buttstock shave the ounces and keep the rig from feeling like an icicle in cold weather. The foam-filled carbon buttstock does more than save weight too, helping soak up vibration and felt recoil so your follow-up shots settle faster. MDT also smoothed out the whole profile to cut down on snag points, and the mag latch tucks cleanly into the trigger guard so nothing catches on your pack or brush.
Dropping your barreled action in is straightforward, with v-block bedding doing the work of keeping your zero honest. You get length-of-pull and comb height adjustment to dial the fit to you, which matters when you're shooting off a pack, tripod, or improvised rest in the field. Since this is the long action inlet, it converts your rifle to AICS pattern magazines and runs the long-action 3.560 inch mags for cartridges like .270 Win and .30-06 class rounds. Your factory Tikka magazines won't carry over, so plan on grabbing the correct AICS long-action mag to go with it.
The forend carries M-LOK slots along with QD and sling swivel mounting, so bipods, slings, and accessories all have a home. For backcountry hunters, NRL Hunter competitors, or anyone who wants chassis stability without the chassis weight penalty, this is one of the better tools out there for a Tikka build.
No, this chassis converts your rifle to AICS pattern magazines, so your factory Tikka mags won't fit. For a long action Tikka you'll want the long-action 3.560 inch AICS magazine, which covers common rounds like .270 Win and .30-06. Plan on picking one up alongside the chassis if you don't already have AICS mags on hand.
The HNT26 starts right around 26 ounces for the chassis, buttstock, forend, and grip combined, which is where the name comes from. That's a big part of why it's such a popular pick for backcountry and mountain builds. Folding stock and ARCA forend configurations add weight, running up toward roughly 31 ounces, but this standard non-folding version stays on the lighter end.
The HNT26 uses a magnesium alloy base instead of aluminum, then adds carbon fiber for the forend, grip, and buttstock to drop weight without giving up rigidity. The carbon touch points also cut down that cold-to-the-touch feeling you get from metal in freezing weather. It's built specifically with hunting in mind, so the profile is smoothed out to reduce snag points on brush and gear.
Yes, this standard forend comes with M-LOK slots plus QD and sling swivel mounting points, so bipods, slings, and other gear mount up easily. If you run an ARCA tripod setup, MDT also offers a version with an integrated ARCA rail, but that's a separate configuration. This one gives you plenty of flexibility for a field-ready hunting rig.
