MDT Oryx Ruger American Rifle Chassis – Midnight Chocolate Chip
The MDT Oryx for Ruger American Short Action gives the rifle a rigid aluminum foundation, adjustable ergonomics, and the accessory flexibility of a modern precision chassis — finished here in our custom Midnight Chocolate Chip pattern.
Whether you're building a Ruger American for PRS-style shooting, long-range range work, or a more capable hunting rifle, the Oryx provides a substantial step up from the factory stock without requiring a full custom build.
Built Around the Ruger American
The Ruger American has become a popular foundation for practical precision rifles because it offers a capable action at an approachable price. The Oryx takes that platform further with an aluminum chassis built around a stable V-shaped bedding system and free-floated forend.
The barrel channel provides clearance for barrels up to approximately 1.25" in diameter, giving shooters room for many factory heavy barrels, varmint contours, and aftermarket precision barrels.
- Rigid aluminum chassis construction
- V-shaped action bedding
- Free-floated forend
- Maximum barrel diameter of approximately 1.25"
- Adjustable cheekpiece
- Adjustable length of pull
- M-LOK accessory mounting
- Short-action AICS-pattern magazine compatibility
PRS, Long Range & Positional Shooting
The Oryx is well suited to shooters who want to take a Ruger American beyond a basic factory-stock setup.
For PRS-style competition and positional shooting, the adjustable stock helps establish a repeatable position behind the optic while the M-LOK forend gives you room to configure the rifle around bipods, weights, sling hardware, and other support equipment.
From prone to bags and barricades, the chassis gives the rifle a more substantial and predictable interface with the support underneath it.
For shooters who want even more flexibility, our
Pete's Pillars Full-Length Oryx ARCA Rail
adds a continuous ARCA mounting surface for compatible bipods, tripod clamps, and positional shooting equipment.
A Capable Hunting Chassis
The same features that make the Oryx useful on a competition rifle also translate naturally to a precision hunting build.
Adjustable cheek height helps maintain consistent eye alignment behind the optic, while adjustable length of pull makes it easier to fit the rifle around the shooter, clothing, and field position.
For hunters who already like the Ruger American action but want more rigidity, adjustability, and accessory support than the factory stock provides, the Oryx is an easy way to move the rifle toward a more purpose-built setup.
Midnight Chocolate Chip
Our Midnight Chocolate Chip finish takes the familiar chocolate-chip camouflage concept in a darker direction.
The patterned exterior panels pair naturally with the Oryx's black grip, cheekpiece, buttpad, and hardware, giving the chassis a darker, more subdued appearance than traditional desert-pattern finishes.
It works especially well on precision and competition builds where the chassis itself is a major visual part of the finished rifle.
Build Out Your Oryx
The Oryx is a strong foundation on its own, but the platform leaves plenty of room to tune the rifle around competition, field, or long-range use.
