Description

The MDT XRS is the answer for anyone who's been eyeing a chassis but doesn't love the full-blown tactical look. It keeps the swept-back silhouette and comfortable hand feel of a traditional stock, then loads in the guts of a modern precision system. Drop your Ruger American short action barreled action into the aluminum V-block, torque it down, and you've got a free-floated barrel and a rock-solid bedding surface that squeezes better consistency out of a factory rifle.

What Sets the XRS Chassis Apart

The backbone here is a full-length CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum core, wrapped in high-strength textured polymer panels. Those panels do double duty: they keep your hands off cold or hot metal in the field, and they give you a grippy, comfortable surface in any weather. The whole thing tips the scales around 3.9 pounds depending on inlet, which keeps it light enough for a hunting rifle while still feeling planted off a bipod or bag.

Dialing In the Fit

Fit is where this chassis earns its keep. Length of pull adjusts from about 13.25 inches out past 15 inches using included spacers, and the quick-adjust cheek piece lets you get your eye lined up perfectly behind the scope. MDT ships both a vertical grip and an angled grip in the box, and swapping between them takes about four screws, so you can set up the grip angle that matches how you shoot. It also feeds from standard AICS-pattern magazines through an ambidextrous latch that's easy to work with either hand.

Room to Grow

Up front you get a generous 12-inch forend with M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, plus a flat bottom that rides bags and barricades well. Hang a bipod, bolt on an ARCA or Picatinny rail, add a barricade stop, whatever your setup calls for. The inlet clears barrels up to 1.25 inches, so a heavy contour tube fits with room to spare. Whether you're building a long-range target rig or just want your deer rifle to shoot tighter groups, this is a smart, no-nonsense upgrade for the Ruger American platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the MDT XRS Chassis fit my Ruger American short action rifle?

Yes, this exact model is inletted for the Ruger American short action, right-hand configuration. You'll pull your barreled action from the factory stock and drop it into the chassis, torquing it into the aluminum V-block. The inlet clears barrels up to 1.25 inches, so factory sporter contours and heavier target barrels both fit.

Does the XRS Chassis use the factory Ruger magazines?

No, the XRS switches you over to standard AICS-pattern magazines in .223 or .308 short action footprints. It runs an ambidextrous magazine latch that's easy to reach with either hand. AICS mags are widely available, so finding spares or higher-capacity options is simple.

What grips come with the XRS Chassis?

MDT includes both a vertical grip and a swept angled grip right in the box. You can swap between them with a few screws to match your shooting style, whether that's a more traditional hunting hold or a straight-back precision grip. Note that this chassis is designed to work with those included MDT grips.

Is the barrel free-floated in the MDT XRS Chassis?

It is. The V-block bedding system supports the action while leaving the barrel completely free-floating, which is a big part of the accuracy gain over a factory stock. Combined with the rigid aluminum core, most shooters see tighter, more consistent groups after the swap.
