Description
The MDT Field Stock is that sweet spot where chassis accuracy meets the comfort of a classic hunting stock. Built to fit Ruger American short action rifles, it takes the guesswork out of bedding by dropping your barreled action onto an aluminum V-block and torquing down two screws. That solid, repeatable connection to the chassis is what tightens groups, and the free-floating barrel channel keeps things consistent shot after shot. No glass bedding, no complicated fitting, no need to send anything off to a smith.
What sets the Field Stock apart from a bare metal chassis is the injection-molded polymer body. It stays warm to the touch on cold mornings and carries comfortably on long walks into the backcountry, which is exactly what you want in a hunting rig. At around 3.1 pounds it won't weigh you down, and the traditional shape feels natural if you're coming off a wood or synthetic sporter stock.
Dialing In the Field Stock for Your Fit
Getting behind the rifle the same way every time is half the battle, and the Field Stock makes that easy. The tool-less adjustable cheek riser lets you line your eye up perfectly with your optic, and the length of pull adjusts with buttstock spacers so the rifle fits you instead of the other way around. Sling swivel studs sit on both the forend and buttstock for a sling, a bipod, or both.
Where the Field Stock Earns Its Keep
The forend runs M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, so you can bolt on a bipod, add an ARCA rail for a tripod, or hang whatever accessory the job calls for. One of the biggest wins here is the AICS magazine conversion. Your Ruger American feeds from AICS-pattern mags with no extra bottom metal to buy and no inletting, which opens up a huge world of capacity options. Whether you're chasing deer at first light, ringing steel at distance, or just enjoying a range day, this is a genuine performance jump over a factory stock in a package that still feels like a real rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MDT Field Stock fit my Ruger American short action rifle?
Yes, this version is inletted specifically for Ruger American short action barreled actions in a right-hand configuration. You simply drop your action into the V-block and torque down two screws. If you have a long action Ruger American, you'll want the long action inlet instead, since the two aren't interchangeable.
Does the Field Stock need a gunsmith to install?
No gunsmithing required. The Field Stock is a drop-in upgrade where you seat the barreled action on the aluminum V-block bedding and tighten two action screws to spec. Most folks have it done at the kitchen table in a few minutes.
What magazines does the Field Stock use?
The Field Stock converts your rifle to feed from AICS-pattern magazines with no extra bottom metal or inletting needed. That gives you a wide range of capacity options from MDT and other AICS mag makers. It also uses an ambidextrous magazine release that's easy to reach with either hand.
Can I mount a bipod and adjust the fit on the Field Stock?
Absolutely. The forend has M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for a bipod, ARCA rail, or other accessories, plus sling swivel studs front and rear. The cheek riser adjusts tool-free and the length of pull adjusts with buttstock spacers, so you can set it up to fit you exactly.
