Description
The MDT XRS fills a specific gap in the chassis market: you get the familiar feel and control of a traditional rifle stock combined with the accuracy advantages of a precision chassis platform. It's purpose-built for Savage short-action shooters who want modularity and performance without sacrificing ergonomics or comfort.
Construction and Bedding
The core of this chassis is a full-length CNC-machined piece of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, wrapped in high-strength textured polymer panels that insulate your hands from temperature extremes and rough conditions. The precision aluminum V-block bedding system does the heavy lifting where it matters most, locking your action into place with repeatable accuracy that beats factory bedding every time. This rigid foundation means barrel harmonics stay consistent, which translates directly to tighter groups downrange.
Ergonomics and Adjustment
What sets the XRS apart is how shootable it feels right out of the box. The chassis features a replaceable, over-molded grip system with both angled and vertical grip options included, so you can dial in your hand placement for your specific shooting style. Length of pull adjusts from 13.25 inches to over 15 inches using included spacers, accommodating different body types and shooting positions. The quick-adjust cheekpiece lets you dial in your eye alignment over the scope without fumbling with shims or modifications.
Modularity and Magazine Compatibility
The 12-inch free-floating forend comes equipped with M-LOK slots on all five faces, giving you attachment points for bipods, sling mounts, and other accessories. The chassis accepts standard AICS pattern magazines with an ambidextrous magazine latch, meaning you can run reliable detachable magazine systems and tap into a massive selection of ammunition options. Integrated sling swivel studs on both the buttstock and forend, plus QD sling mounts, make field configuration straightforward.
Weight and Versatility
Tipping the scales at 3.9 pounds depending on your action inlet, the XRS stays light enough for hunting applications while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for precision work. The platform works equally well as an affordable upgrade for a factory rifle or as the foundation for a dedicated build.
