MDT Oryx Ruger American Rifle Chassis – War Torn Bronze
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 War Torn Bronze.
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 starting point for practical precision rifles because it combines a capable action with an approachable platform for upgrading.
The Oryx takes that foundation further with a rigid aluminum chassis, V-shaped bedding system, and free-floated forend designed to give the action a stable and repeatable home.
The barrel channel provides clearance for barrels up to approximately 1.25" in diameter, leaving 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
For PRS-style competition and positional shooting, the Oryx gives the Ruger American a much more configurable platform than the factory stock.
The adjustable cheekpiece and length of pull help 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 provides a more substantial and predictable interface with the support underneath the rifle.

A Strong Foundation for a Hunting Rifle
The same features that make the Oryx useful on a match or range 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 offers a straightforward path to a more purpose-built rifle.
War Torn Bronze
Our War Torn Bronze finish gives the Oryx a darker, more industrial character than the standard factory colors.
The bronze-toned exterior panels work naturally with the Oryx's black grip, cheekpiece, buttpad, and hardware, giving the finished chassis a distinctive appearance without losing the clean lines of the original design.
It is equally at home on a hard-use field rifle, a competition build, or a precision setup where the chassis is meant to be part of the rifle's personality rather than disappear into the background.
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.
