The MDT XRS Chassis is a true crossover, blending the comfortable shape of a hunting stock with the guts of a modern precision chassis. It's built around a full-length CNC machined core of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, then wrapped in high-strength textured polymer panels that shrug off temperature swings and rough handling. That rigid aluminum backbone, paired with a precision aluminum V-block bedding system, gives your Howa 1500 short action a solid, repeatable platform that helps drop your factory rifle into tighter groups without a trip to the gunsmith. This version fits Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action, right hand.
Comfort behind the rifle is where this chassis earns its keep. The length of pull adjusts from 13.25 inches out to 15 inches and beyond using the included spacer kit, and the quick-adjust cheek piece lets you get your eye lined up perfectly behind whatever scope height you're running. Two grips come in the box, an angled grip and a vertical grip, so you can set your hand and trigger reach where it feels natural. The grip system is over-molded and textured, and it plays nice with AR-style grips if you want to swap in something else down the road.
The XRS runs standard AICS pattern magazines with an ambidextrous latch that's easy to work from either side. Worth noting on the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action version, MDT recommends polymer AICS mags, since some metal AccurateMag bodies won't lock in once the rifle is fully assembled. The generous 12-inch forend is loaded with M-LOK slots for bipods, weights, or ARCA and Picatinny rails, and it's wide enough to ride bags and barricades with confidence. There's a built-in barricade stop up front and sling swivel studs to round it out.
Weighing right around 3.9 pounds depending on the inlet, the XRS lands in a sweet spot that's steady enough for the range and packable enough to haul into the field. It's a straightforward upgrade for a factory Howa or a smart foundation for a custom build.
This model is cut for the Howa 1500 short action, right hand, and it also fits the Weatherby Vanguard short action since they share the same footprint. Make sure your action is short action rather than long action before ordering. Your barreled action drops onto the V-block bedding system for a solid, repeatable fit.
It runs standard AICS pattern magazines with an ambidextrous latch. On the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action version specifically, MDT recommends polymer AICS mags, as some metal AccurateMag bodies have been found not to lock in when the rifle is fully assembled. Sticking with polymer AICS mags keeps you feeding reliably.
Yes. The 12-inch forend has M-LOK slots built in, so you can hang a bipod, weights, or add ARCA and Picatinny rail sections wherever you need them. The forend is also wide and flat on the bottom, which helps it ride bags and barricades nicely.
It does. The chassis includes a buttstock spacer kit for setting length of pull from 13.25 inches to 15 inches and beyond, plus a quick-adjust cheek piece for scope height. Both an angled and a vertical grip are in the box, so you can choose the hand position that suits your shooting.
