MDT built the HNT26 to answer a question a lot of hunters have been asking for years: why does getting chassis accuracy mean hauling around several extra pounds of aluminum? This 107835BCF version is set up specifically for the Howa 1500 short action and Weatherby Vanguard short action, wrapped in a black carbon fiber Cerakote finish that looks as good in camp as it performs on the mountain. Instead of aluminum, the core of the chassis is a magnesium alloy base, paired with a carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber pistol grip, and a foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock. The combination keeps weight down near 26 ounces in the lightest configurations, which matters a lot when you're several miles into the backcountry and every ounce on your back counts.
This particular configuration includes the integral ARCA rail machined right into the forend, so if you're running a tripod for glassing or shooting off sticks, you skip the extra rail and screws altogether. The forend also carries M-LOK slots on both sides along with a QD mount and sling swivel mount, giving you real options for bipods, slings, and other accessories without needing an aftermarket forend swap. Underneath, the chassis uses proven v-block bedding to seat your Howa or Vanguard action consistently, and it accepts AICS pattern magazines through a magazine release that MDT tucked directly into the trigger guard. That placement keeps your grip locked in place while you drop a mag, and it avoids the accidental releases that plague some traditional bottom metal designs.
Length of pull and comb height are both adjustable, so the stock can be tuned to fit your build, your layers, and the way you actually get behind the rifle in the field rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all buttstock. The carbon fiber pistol grip is slim rather than vertical, closer to a traditional hunting rifle feel than a full-on competition chassis, and it accepts most AR-style grips if you ever want to swap it out. Between the bedding, the adjustability, and the AICS magazine compatibility, this chassis gives you most of what a dedicated precision chassis offers, just built around a hunting rifle's needs instead of a bench gun's.
This 107835BCF chassis is built specifically for the Howa 1500 short action and Weatherby Vanguard short action, so it's designed to drop your barreled action in without cutting or fitting. You will want to double check your trigger and safety setup transfers over cleanly, since some aftermarket triggers may need spacers.
It's built around AICS pattern magazines, which covers a wide range of aftermarket and factory options in common hunting calibers. Metal AICS mags tend to run heavier, so if minimizing weight is your goal, look into the polymer AICS-compatible options where available for your chambering.
No, this particular configuration is the fixed buttstock version with the integrated ARCA rail up front. MDT does offer a folding stock variant separately if compact storage and transport is a priority for you.
The HNT26 gets its name from its base weight of around 26 ounces, which is noticeably lighter than most aluminum chassis systems on the market. With the ARCA rail added to this configuration, expect the weight to land toward the higher end of MDT's 26 to 31 ounce range, still light for a full chassis system.
