MDT has built a name for itself in the tactical and competition world, but the HNT26 marks their first chassis designed purely with hunters in mind. Instead of just shrinking down an existing platform, MDT engineered this one from scratch using a magnesium alloy chassis body paired with a carbon fiber forend, pistol grip, and foam filled buttstock. The result is a rig that carries like a traditional hunting stock but gives you the fit adjustment and rigidity of a proper chassis system, all fitted specifically to the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action footprint.
Under the carbon fiber skin you get the same v-block bedding MDT uses across its chassis lineup, which means consistent action contact every time you seat the barreled action back in. Length of pull adjusts from 12.5 to 13.5 inches and the comb height moves to match your scope setup, so you're not stuck fighting a stock that doesn't fit your build or your optic. The M-LOK forend gives you plenty of real estate for a bipod stud, rail sections, or whatever else you like running out front, and the trigger guard houses a low profile mag latch that stays out of the way in the field.
Weight is where this chassis earns its keep on long hunts. The folding buttstock version tips the scales right around 31 ounces, which is lighter than a lot of factory wood or synthetic hunting stocks, let alone a traditional aluminum chassis. Folding the stock shortens the overall package for the truck, the pack, or a tight blind, and the foam filled buttstock keeps things quiet when you're easing through brush. AICS pattern magazine compatibility means you're not locked into a proprietary mag system either, so feeding options stay flexible.
This particular version comes in the standard forend configuration with a black carbon fiber finish, built specifically around the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action inlet. It accepts MDT's pistol grip or their vertical grip options depending on how you like to shoulder a rifle, so you can dial in the ergonomics without hunting down a third party grip. For anyone who has been eyeing a chassis upgrade for their Howa or Vanguard but didn't want to add a bunch of bulk to a hunting rig, this is the setup MDT built specifically to solve that problem.
This chassis is inletted specifically for the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action footprint, so it's built to drop your barreled action in without cutting or fitting. You will still want to double check screw torque and function before heading to the field, but no custom inletting work is needed.
The HNT26 feeds from AICS pattern short action magazines, which covers a wide range of aftermarket and MDT branded mags in popular short action calibers. This gives you more flexibility than a chassis locked into one proprietary magazine design.
The folding black carbon fiber version comes in around 31 ounces, which is lighter than many factory synthetic or wood hunting stocks despite offering full chassis adjustability. That weight savings comes from the magnesium alloy body paired with carbon fiber furniture throughout.
Yes, the HNT26 has an adjustable comb height and a length of pull range from 12.5 to 13.5 inches, so you can fine tune cheek weld and reach after the chassis is installed. This makes it easier to get consistent eye alignment with taller scope rings or larger objective lenses.
