The MDT Oryx Sportsman chassis transforms a Howa 1500 short-action or Weatherby Vanguard short-action rifle into a precision-ready platform without the expense of a custom build. This black anodized aluminum chassis replaces your factory stock and gives you the bedding consistency, adjustability, and ergonomics that factory rifles simply don't offer out of the box. If you're serious about tightening groups or want a modular, upgradeable platform for hunting or range work, the Oryx Sportsman is engineered to deliver.
Built from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum with MIL Spec type 3 hard anodizing, the chassis beds your action on a solid aluminum block while floating the barrel—two proven ways to unlock accuracy potential that's already in your rifle. The fully adjustable integrated buttstock lets you dial in length of pull (LOP starts at 32.25" with the chassis and buttstock combined, and you can add up to 13–13.5" more with the included spacer kit), so whether you're building a lightweight mountain rifle or a precision bench gun, fit is dialed to you. At 4.2 pounds, it's a practical weight for a chassis system.
The Oryx Sportsman accepts AR15-pattern grips (both standard and vertical) and works with polymer magazines designed for the Howa 1500 SA and Weatherby Vanguard SA platform. This modularity means you can tweak your setup as your shooting evolves—swap grips, add rail space for accessories, and reconfigure without major gunsmithing. It's the thinking shooter's chassis: solid, adjustable, and made to grow with your skills.
