Description
If you run a Howa 1500 short action and want to squeeze better accuracy out of your rifle without complicated bedding work, the Field Stock from MDT delivers real results at a price that makes sense. The core of this chassis is an aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum bedding block designed specifically for the Howa action, giving you a rigid, stable platform that minimizes movement during firing. That aluminum core is wrapped in overmolded polymer that feels warm to the touch in cold weather, which matters if you spend November mornings glassing hillsides or sitting in a blind.
Getting real accuracy gains from the Field Stock
The V-block bedding system secures your action with precision-machined contact surfaces that allow a free-floating barrel. This combination cuts down on the vibrations and inconsistencies that hurt accuracy when barrels heat up or when you're making back-to-back shots. Drop your action in, run two screws, and you're done. All the hardware comes with it, and no permanent modifications to your rifle are required.
Setting up your ideal shooting position
You get full adjustability for length of pull and cheek riser height, letting you dial in a stock that fits your proportions and scope height instead of the other way around. That repeatable head position means faster target acquisition and more consistent shooting, whether you're competing in a match, hunting at distance, or just running through drills at the range. The sling swivel studs come installed, and the M-LOK compatible forend accepts whatever accessories you want to add: bipods, rails, slings, or bags.
Ready for your choice of shooting discipline
With AICS magazine compatibility, you have access to reliable, widely available magazines. The polymer body with traditional stock geometry is comfortable to carry long distances in the field, and the rigidity of that aluminum core means you get solid support whether you're shooting off a bipod, bags, or a tripod. The OD green finish gives you a clean, professional look while standing up to tough conditions.
