Description

The MDT XRS lands right in the sweet spot between a classic hunting stock and a full-blown precision chassis. It drops your Ruger American Short Action barreled action into a full-length CNC-machined 6061 aluminum skeleton wrapped in high-strength textured polymer panels, so you get the rigidity a chassis is known for while keeping the shape and shouldering of a traditional stock. Tipping the scales right around 3.9 pounds depending on the inlet, it stays light enough to carry up a ridge yet stable enough to settle in behind glass on a bench.

What Sets the XRS Chassis Apart

This is where the crossover design earns its keep. The precision aluminum V-block bedding cradles your action for repeatable fit and lets the barrel free float, which is often the single biggest accuracy gain over a factory stock. Up front, the generous 12-inch forend carries M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, giving you room to hang a bipod, add a sling stud, or bolt on an ARCA or Picatinny rail for a barricade setup. It also runs standard AICS pattern magazines through an integrated magwell with an ambidextrous latch, so no extra bottom metal to source.

Dialing In the Fit on Your XRS

Fit is the name of the game here. The quick-adjust cheek riser lets you match comb height to your scope so you drop into a consistent cheek weld every time, and length of pull adjusts with stacking spacers from 13.25 inches out past 15 inches. MDT also includes both a swept angled grip and a vertical pistol grip in the box, each swapping out with four screws, so you can set the ergonomics to your liking whether you shoot prone, off a bag, or off-hand in the field.

Installation is genuinely straightforward. Pull your two action screws, drop the barreled action into the XRS, and torque it back down. The Flat Dark Earth finish shrugs off scuffs from rocks and brush and pairs cleanly with most optics and gear. For hunters wanting more from a factory Ruger American or anyone building toward a target rig, this is a hard-working foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the MDT XRS Chassis fit my Ruger American Short Action rifle?

This model is cut specifically for the right-hand Ruger American Short Action, so your barreled action drops right in. Installation is simple: remove your two factory action screws, seat the action into the V-block bedding, and torque it back down. It's a genuine plug-and-play swap that takes most folks just a few minutes with a hex key.

Does the XRS Chassis need aftermarket bottom metal or special magazines?

No extra bottom metal is required. The XRS has an integrated magwell machined to accept standard AICS pattern magazines, which are widely available and reliable. An ambidextrous latch makes swapping mags quick from either side.

Can I mount a bipod and ARCA rail on the XRS forend?

Absolutely. The 12-inch forend has M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, giving you plenty of room for a bipod, sling hardware, or an ARCA or Picatinny rail. It also ships with sling swivel studs installed for a traditional bipod attachment right out of the box.

Does the XRS come with both grip options?

Yes. MDT includes both a swept angled grip and a vertical pistol grip so you can pick what feels best for your shooting style. Each swaps out with four screws, so you can experiment and settle on your preference without buying anything extra.
