MDT ORYX SAVAGE AXIS LONG ACTION CHASSIS – BLACK
Clean, Classic Black for Your Savage Axis.
The MDT Oryx Sportsman Chassis for the Savage Axis long action turns an affordable, accurate factory Axis into a modern precision rifle. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with V-block bedding, it free-floats the barrel, converts the rifle to AICS detachable magazines and adds tool-less length-of-pull and cheek adjustment. Finished in black anodize.
The Savage Axis is known for shooting well out of the box, but its lightweight factory stock flexes, limits accessories and makes the rifle feel basic. The Oryx fixes all of that. It locks the action into a rigid V-block bedding system and free-floats the barrel, so point of impact stays consistent shot after shot and season after season. Overmolded panels keep it comfortable in the cold, and AICS magazines make loading fast and quiet.
It's equally at home on a whitetail or elk rifle in .270, .30-06 or .25-06, a long-range setup or a range practice gun. Start with a capable chassis, then add only what you need as the rifle evolves.
The Black Finish.
Black anodize is the timeless choice: it matches any scope and accessories and gives a seamless look with our black billet ARCA rail and rear weight.
Complete It: Small Upgrades, Big Difference.
A few low-cost additions make the Oryx noticeably better behind the gun. MDT's Tool-Less Cheek Riser Wheels let you adjust cheek height in the field without a wrench. Our Pete's Pillars M-LOK Exterior Forend Weights, made in the USA, help settle the rifle on the bags. Magazines are your choice: the Oryx converts your Axis to long-action AICS magazines, and we're happy to help you match one to your cartridge. Contact us with your caliber. Add a fast-deploying MDT GRND-POD M-LOK Bipod for a simple, field-ready rest.
The Next Level: A Precision-Ready Oryx.
Ready to turn a hunting chassis into a true long-range rig? Our Made-in-USA Oryx upgrades work together as a system. The Pete's Pillars Full-Length ARCA Rail for MDT Oryx adds a continuous ARCA surface along the forend with integrated QD sling cups, so you can clamp an ARCA bipod like the MDT Ckye-Pod Gen3 Compact or a tripod anywhere you need it. Pair it with the Pete's Pillars Oryx Rear Buttstock Weight, which adds two side QD sling cups, frees the bottom-rear M-LOK slot for a bag rider and adds a net 5.4 oz of rear weight for balance and recoil control. Together they give your Axis Oryx the stability of a competition chassis.

Can I add an ARCA rail?
What does the Pete's Pillars Rear Buttstock Weight add?
The Oryx Rear Buttstock Weight adds two side QD sling cups, frees the bottom-rear M-LOK slot for a bag rider and adds a net 5.4 oz of rear weight (7.3 oz versus the 1.9 oz original), helpful for managing recoil.
