MDT XRS | SAVAGE SHORT ACTION | FDE
Traditional Stock Feel. A Better Foundation for Your Savage.
The MDT XRS Savage Short Action Chassis in FDE gives an established Savage short-action rifle a solid aluminum bedding foundation while keeping the familiar shape and balance of a conventional rifle stock. Adjustable cheek height, interchangeable grip styles and a full-length M-LOK forend make the XRS an appealing upgrade whether you spend more time shooting groups, hunting or working from bags and barricades.
The appeal of the XRS is what sits beneath the stock-like exterior: a machined 6061 aluminum core with MDT’s V-block action support. The receiver bears against that rigid foundation instead of relying on a conventional flexible stock. Textured polymer panels add a comfortable grip, and the long forend makes it easier to mount the front support and balance accessories you prefer.
A good chassis should feel right before you ever fire a shot. With the XRS, you can raise the cheekpiece to meet your scope, adjust length of pull with the included spacers, and choose between the supplied angled and vertical grips. The rifle stays recognizable in the hands, but you get considerably more freedom to set it up for the way you shoot.
Built for Savage Short Action
This is the right-hand Savage Short Action XRS in Flat Dark Earth, MDT 104692-FDE. It is for compatible Savage 10, 11, 12, 16 and established 110 short-action configurations, not the separate Savage Axis inlet. The chassis uses short-action AICS-pattern magazines matched to caliber; if your rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor, the MDT 5-round polymer AICS magazine is an easy place to start.
Prefer an understated finish? The same Savage SA XRS is available in Black. Both share the same inlet and upgrade options, so color is your choice rather than a change in the underlying chassis system.
Pair It With
Once the Savage is sitting comfortably in the XRS, the next improvement is making its balance and shoulder fit your own. Pete’s Pillars PPWM mini weights add a compact six ounces at the front. The MDT 105330 weighted length-of-pull spacer adds weight behind your shoulder support, while the MDT 107097 adjustable buttpad base gives you more freedom to place the buttpad vertically and horizontally. Each solves a different part of fit and balance.

MDT Adjustable Buttpad 107097Fine-tune vertical and horizontal shoulder contact.Upgrade to Full-Length ARCA When You Need It
A front bag or M-LOK bipod may be all you need today. If you start shooting from a tripod or regularly adjust bipod position during a match, the MDT XRS Enclosed Forend 105277-BLK gives the rifle a full-length integrated ARCA rail without replacing the entire chassis. It also brings a more enclosed barrel channel and additional M-LOK mounting points for accessories.
XRS UPGRADE
MDT XRS Enclosed Forend 105277-BLK
Integrated full-length ARCA and more M-LOK mounting positions, designed to replace the standard XRS forend.
For a more substantial forward balance change, MDT’s one-pound XRS Forend Weight 105252-BLK is the larger alternative to our six-ounce PPWM pair. Whether you want a rifle that carries easily or one that feels settled on a barricade, you can add only the weight you actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 104692-FDE fit my Savage short-action rifle?
This FDE model uses the right-hand Savage short-action inlet for compatible Savage 10/11/12/16 and established 110 short-action configurations. It is not the Savage Axis inlet. Confirm your rifle generation and action before ordering.
What about newly redesigned 2026 Savage 110 actions?
MDT currently advises that 2026 Savage 110 models are not compatible with existing MDT chassis. For a newly manufactured 110, verify the action generation and updated MDT fitment information before ordering this older-style Savage SA inlet.
Will my original Savage detachable magazine work?
The XRS uses short-action AICS-pattern magazines matched to cartridge, rather than the factory Savage magazine system. For .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, consider MDT’s 5-round polymer AICS magazine.
Are both XRS grip styles included?
Yes. MDT supplies angled and vertical grip options. Choose a wrist angle that feels natural for your preferred position without purchasing a separate grip.
How can I change length of pull and rear balance?
The XRS includes length-of-pull spacers. The optional 105330 weighted LOP spacer adds approximately 0.8 lb and 0.5 inch of length when you want more rear mass.
Is the buttpad adjustable for shoulder position?
The included stock has spacer-based length adjustment. Our 107097 adjustable buttpad base is a separate option adding vertical and horizontal buttpad positioning.
What are PPWM mini weights designed to do?
Pete’s Pillars PPWM mini weights are XRS-specific external weights totaling 6 ounces per pair. They let you add modest front mass without jumping directly to a full pound.
Can I mount an ARCA bipod or tripod to this XRS?
The standard XRS forend has M-LOK mounting points. Upgrade to the MDT XRS Enclosed Forend 105277-BLK for integrated full-length ARCA and additional accessory positions.
Which bipods can I use on the XRS?
The ORYX M-LOK bipod and GRND-POD M-LOK mount to appropriate M-LOK positions. An ARCA-mounted bipod requires a compatible ARCA interface, such as the optional enclosed forend.
Is ACC Premier Gen2 a premium XRS accessory?
No. The MDT ACC Premier Gen2 Savage SA in FDE is a separate competition-oriented chassis, not an add-on to the XRS. It is the next step if the goal shifts toward heavier, match-focused balance and positional support.
