The MDT XRS is what you reach for when you love the classic feel of a traditional rifle stock but want the accuracy and adjustability that comes with a chassis. It's a crossover design, meaning it keeps the familiar shouldering and handling most folks grew up with while adding the modern touches that make a Howa 1500 shoot to its full potential. Under the polymer you get a full-length CNC machined core of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, and those high-strength textured panels wrapped around it help insulate the action from temperature swings and keep your grip solid in wet or cold conditions.
The heart of the accuracy story is the precision aluminum V-block bedding system. Your barreled action drops right in, snugs down with two action screws, and free-floats the barrel so your groups tighten up without any glass bedding or gunsmithing tricks. It runs standard AICS-pattern magazines with an easy ambidextrous latch, so you can swap calibers and load out fast. One thing worth knowing on the Howa version: it's built for polymer AICS magazines, and the rear action screw sits far enough back that you'll pull the grip off to reach it during install. That's a quick step, not a headache.
This chassis is made to fit the person behind it. Length of pull adjusts from 13.25 inches out past 15 inches using the included spacer kit, and the quick-adjust cheek piece lets you get your eye lined up perfectly behind any scope height. It ships with both an angled grip and a vertical grip in the box, and since the grip mount is AR-15 compatible, you can run just about any aftermarket grip you already like.
Up front sits a generous 12-inch free-floating forend loaded with M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. That gives you plenty of real estate for bipods, ARCA or Picatinny rails, bags, and whatever else your setup calls for. At right around 3.9 pounds depending on inlet, the XRS stays light enough for a backcountry hunting rig yet stable enough to hang on a bag or tripod at the range. It's a genuine do-it-all foundation for a factory upgrade or a custom build.
It runs standard AICS-pattern magazines through an ambidextrous latch that's easy to work. On the Howa 1500 short action version specifically, stick with polymer AICS mags. Some metal AccurateMag AICS mags have been found not to lock in cleanly once the rifle is fully assembled.
Not at all. You pull the barreled action from your factory stock, drop it into the V-block, and torque down the two captured action screws. On the Howa version you'll need to remove the pistol grip first to reach the rear action screw, since it sits farther back, but it's a simple extra step.
Yes. The grip mount is AR-15 compatible, so most any aftermarket grip you already like will bolt right on. It also comes with both an angled and a vertical grip in the box, so you can dial in your hand placement before ever buying anything extra.
It works for both, which is the whole point of the crossover design. At roughly 3.9 pounds it stays manageable for carrying in the field, while the adjustable length of pull, cheek riser, and M-LOK forend make it right at home on a bag or bipod at the range.
