MDT ORYX SPORTSMAN CHASSIS | SAVAGE MARK II | BLACK | 104356-BLK
The Fastest Way to Make a MkII a Contender.
The MDT Oryx Sportsman takes your Savage Mark II out of a hollow factory stock and puts it in a machined aluminum chassis with an adjustable cheek riser, 13″ to 13.5″ of spacer-adjustable length of pull and an M-LOK forend. 6061 aluminum, about 4.2 lbs, with the action bedded on an aluminum block and the barrel free-floated. It's MDT's most affordable chassis and the one that changes the most about how a rimfire handles. This is Black.
A Savage Mark II is a genuinely accurate little rifle sold in a stock built to a price. It flexes, it fits nobody in particular, and there's nowhere to mount anything. The Oryx fixes all three at once: an aluminum chassis the action bolts into solidly, a cheek riser that gets your eye behind a scope instead of over it, length of pull you can set to your own arms, and an M-LOK forend so a bipod or a barricade stop finally has somewhere to go. Nothing else moves a rimfire this far in a single step. Use it for: NRL22, rimfire steel, squirrel and rabbit hunting, .22 trainers, and teaching a new or younger shooter on a rifle that actually fits them.
Fit First, Everything Else After.
Most people chase accuracy with ammunition and glass while shooting from a stock that doesn't fit. The Oryx starts at the other end. The adjustable cheek riser sets eye height so you're not craning your neck to find the reticle, and length of pull runs 13″ to 13.5″ on the included spacers, so the rifle fits in a t-shirt in July and a coat in December. Those two changes do more for a shooter's consistency than almost anything else you can bolt on, and they're the reason a kid can grow into this rifle rather than out of it.
Bedded, Free-Floated, and It Comes With a Grip.
The action beds on an aluminum block and the barrel is free-floated, which is the structural half of what you're buying — no more flex, no more barrel touching stock. The forend clears barrels up to 1.25″, so a heavy rimfire profile fits. MDT also includes an Elite pistol grip in the box, and the chassis accepts AR-15 standard and vertical grips, so if you'd rather run something else the MDT Vertical Grip Elite or an Ergo flat-top grip will bolt straight on. Any flat-top AR grip without a beavertail works.
Why Black?
Black is the one that never looks wrong. It matches the optic, the rings, the bipod and the barrel you already own, it disappears behind whatever else you bolt to the rifle, and it never dates. If the Mark II is a match and training rifle rather than something you carry through brush, black keeps the focus on the shooting instead of the paint. It's also the easiest colour to add to later, since every accessory ships in it. Want the rifle to blend into cover? The same chassis comes in Olive Drab Green and Flat Dark Earth, or Grey for something in between.
Our Take
We Machine the Parts MDT Didn't
The Oryx is a serious chassis out of the box, and MDT will tell you themselves that the full-length ARCA rail is sold separately. That's one of the two parts we make for it. Our full-length ARCA rail is billet aluminum with QD sling cups, turning the M-LOK forend into a proper ARCA platform so a bipod clamps anywhere instead of bolting to one spot. Our replacement rear buttstock weight adds mass where it settles the rifle, also with QD cups. Both made in the USA right here in Michigan, both built specifically for this chassis.

The Next Level
One Step at a Time.
- Step one: our full-length ARCA rail for the Oryx. Billet aluminum, QD sling cups, and it turns the forend into a rail your bipod can slide along. The single best upgrade you can make to this chassis.
- Step two: a bipod worth clamping to it, like the Ckye-Pod Gen 3 Compact for match work or the Mountain Bipod at 5.7 oz for carrying.
- Step three, if you're counting ounces: the MDT Field Stock MkII is the lighter way to carry a Mark II all day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, magazines, mounting and building out your Mark II.
Will it fit my rifle?
This is the Savage Mark II inlet. The Savage rimfire family covers several model numbers and the inlets are not interchangeable with Savage centerfire actions like the Axis or the 10/110. If your rifle is a 93, 93R or Mark I rather than a Mark II, check with us before ordering.
What magazines does it use?
Your Savage Mark II factory-pattern rimfire magazines. This is a rimfire inlet, so it does not take AICS-pattern centerfire magazines the way MDT's centerfire chassis do.
How do I mount a bipod?
The forend is M-LOK, so an M-LOK bipod like the GRND-POD bolts straight on. For an ARCA bipod such as the Ckye-Pod Gen 3, add our full-length ARCA rail for the Oryx, which also gives you QD sling cups. For a sling without the rail, MDT recommend M-LOK QD sling mounts on the forend and buttstock.
How do I mount a scope?
The Mark II action takes a rimfire dovetail base. The DIP Savage MkI / MkII / 93 Picatinny rail converts it, or run dovetail rings like the Warne Maxima 22 Rimfire 30mm. For glass that focuses down close, the Athlon Neos 4-12x40 has a BDC rimfire reticle.
Oryx or Field Stock for a Mark II?
We only carry parts we trust, can stand behind and know are built with quality, so you're in good hands either way. The Field Stock is lighter and shoulders more like a traditional hunting rifle, which suits a rifle you carry. The Oryx is the full aluminum chassis with more adjustment and more places to mount things, and it's the better base if you're shooting NRL22 or plan to keep adding to the rifle.
Does it come with a grip?
Yes. MDT includes an Elite pistol grip. The chassis takes AR-15 standard and vertical grips, so swapping is easy — any flat-top AR grip without a beavertail fits. The MDT Vertical Grip Elite, the Pistol Grip Elite and Ergo grips are all straight swaps. Browse all our rifle grips.
Can you Cerakote it to match my build?
Yes. We run custom Cerakote in house with fast in-stock lead times on most builds, and we also stock Oryx side panels in M81 Woodland finished by us. If you want a specific colour or pattern, send us the details.
Does Pete's Pillars make its own parts?
Yes. We machine the Oryx ARCA rail and Oryx buttstock weight on this page, plus CZ 455 and 457 match barrels, firing pins, extractors and scope rails, pillar bedding kits and 10/22 parts, all here in Michigan. We run custom Cerakote in house and carry chassis from MDT, XLR and Grey Birch, optics, bipods and reloading gear like the Area 419 ZERO press.
