The MDT XRS is what MDT calls a crossover chassis, and that name fits. It keeps the shape and feel of a traditional hunting stock while giving you the mechanical backbone of a chassis. The heart of it is a full-length CNC-machined 6061 aluminum core wrapped in high-strength textured polymer panels. Those panels do two jobs: they insulate your hands from cold metal in nasty weather and give you a grippy, comfortable surface to hold onto. Underneath, a precision aluminum V-block bedding system locks your barreled action in place for repeatable accuracy, and the barrel channel free-floats and clears contours up to about 1.25 inches in diameter.
Fit is where this chassis earns its keep. Length of pull adjusts with spacers starting around 13 inches and stretching past 15, and a quick-adjust cheek piece lets you set proper eye alignment behind your scope. It ships with both a vertical grip and a swept-back angled grip, so you can swap between them with a few Torx screws and run whichever feels right for the shooting you do. The 18mm rubber recoil pad is firm without any mushy flex, which helps you stay consistent shot to shot.
The XRS runs standard AICS-pattern magazines and has an easy-to-reach magazine latch, so you can top off with .223 or .308 family cartridges and swap mags without fuss. Up front, the generous 12-inch forend is loaded with M-LOK slots for bipods, ARCA rails, weights, and other accessories. At right around 3.9 pounds depending on the inlet, it stays reasonable for a walking hunting rifle while still giving you a stable platform on the bench or in a match.
Whether you're building out a long-range hunting rig or a budget-friendly PRS gun on the Howa foundation, the XRS is one of the more configurable crossover chassis you'll find. Drop your action in, torque the captured action screws to spec, and you're ready to go.
This inlet is cut for the Howa 1500 short action, and it also fits the Weatherby Vanguard short action since they share the same footprint. It is set up for right-hand actions. Make sure your barrel contour clears the free-floating channel, which handles diameters up to about 1.25 inches.
The XRS runs standard AICS-pattern magazines, so you have plenty of options from MDT, Accuracy International, Magpul, and others. For a short action it feeds the .223 and .308 cartridge families. The magazine latch is easy to reach and drops mags cleanly.
For most factory Howa 1500 actions it's straightforward: drop the barreled action into the V-block, snug the captured action screws so they just grab, stand the rifle on its buttstock to seat the recoil lug against the bedding block, then torque to spec (MDT lists 65 in/lbs). It helps to confirm your recoil lug fits the slot, since some aftermarket lugs need to be trimmed to clear. No pillar bedding or gunsmithing is required for a typical factory setup.
Yes, and that's one of the nicer touches on this chassis. It ships with both a vertical grip and a swept-back angled grip, and swapping between them takes just four Torx screws. Run the vertical for a more traditional chassis feel or the angled grip if you prefer the geometry of a classic hunting stock.
