Description
The MDT Field Stock is one of the simplest ways to get real accuracy gains out of a factory Savage Axis short action without ever picking up a torque wrench for hours of gunsmithing. At its core is a 6061 aluminum V-block bedding system wrapped in an overmolded polymer body, which gives your action solid, repeatable contact and lets the barrel free-float the way it should. That combination is what tightens up groups, and it's the same bedding principle MDT built its reputation on with pricier chassis.
Installation is about as painless as it gets. You drop your barreled action into place, snug up two screws, and you're done, no inletting or special tools required. The polymer body is warm to the touch on cold mornings, which anyone who's hunted late season with an aluminum chassis will appreciate, and at roughly 3.1 pounds it stays light enough to carry all day in the timber.
What the MDT Field Stock Brings to Your Axis
This is where the Field Stock earns its keep. It converts your rifle to run AICS-pattern detachable magazines with no extra bottom metal to buy, and the ambidextrous mag release is easy to work from either side. The forend is flat-bottomed with M-LOK slots on the bottom and both sides, so mounting a bipod, ARCA rail, or weights is straightforward. Sling swivel studs come installed on both the forend and buttstock, and they pop off if you'd rather run something else.
Dialing In the Fit
Comfort and consistency go hand in hand, and the Field Stock lets you tune both. The toolless adjustable cheek riser gets your eye lined up behind the scope the same way every time, and the length of pull adjusts up to an inch using quarter-inch spacers. The swelled vertical grip and reverse comb borrow ergonomics from MDT's higher-end stocks, so it feels natural whether you're shooting off a bag, a bipod, or freehand. It's a genuinely versatile setup that works for hunting, range days, and casual long-range work alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MDT Field Stock fit my Savage Axis?
This model is cut specifically for right-hand Savage Axis and Axis II short action rifles. It's a drop-in fit, so you set your barreled action in and tighten two screws with no gunsmithing needed. Double-check that you have the short action version before ordering.
Do I need to buy separate bottom metal to run AICS magazines?
No. The Field Stock is built to accept AICS-pattern detachable magazines right out of the box with no extra bottom metal or inletting. You'll just need to pick up the magazines themselves, since those aren't included.
Does the Field Stock free-float the barrel?
Yes. The aluminum V-block bedding holds your action securely while letting the barrel float free of the chassis. That's a big part of why groups tend to tighten up, and it also means most heavier aftermarket barrels will clear without modification.
Can I mount a bipod or ARCA rail on it?
Absolutely. The flat-bottomed forend has M-LOK slots on the bottom and both sides, so an ARCA rail, M-LOK bipod adapter, or weights all bolt right on. There's also a sling stud up front if you'd rather run a traditional stud-mounted bipod or a sling.
