MDT HNT26 Ultralight Hunting Chassis – Remington 700 SA Folding Standard, Black Carbon Fiber
The MDT HNT26 Hunting Chassis 104999-BCF combines ultralight magnesium alloy construction, premium carbon fiber components, and refined hunting ergonomics in a purpose-built chassis for right-handed Remington 700 Short Action rifles and compatible actions.
Finished in Black Carbon Fiber, this configuration features a folding carbon fiber buttstock, ergonomic carbon fiber pistol grip, and streamlined Standard M-LOK forend without integrated ARCA. Built for hunters who believe every ounce counts, the HNT26 delivers the adjustability and precision of a modern rifle chassis without unnecessary bulk.
Whether upgrading a Remington 700 hunting rifle, building a lightweight backcountry setup, or preparing for demanding mountain terrain, the HNT26 offers an exceptional combination of portability, comfort, and field-ready performance.
When Every Ounce Counts
Long climbs, steep terrain, and extended days in the field make rifle weight an important consideration. MDT engineered the HNT26 to eliminate unnecessary mass while retaining the structural rigidity and adjustability expected from a premium chassis system.
The HNT26 combines an AZ61A magnesium alloy chassis core with a carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber pistol grip, and foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock.
The HNT26 family weighs approximately 26–31 ounces depending on configuration, making it substantially lighter than many traditional precision rifle chassis systems.
Carbon fiber contact surfaces also reduce the cold-to-the-touch sensation associated with exposed metal, improving comfort during cold-weather hunting.
Standard Carbon Fiber Forend – Minimalist by Design
This configuration features MDT's Standard enclosed carbon fiber forend without integrated ARCA. It's an intentional choice for hunters who prefer a clean, streamlined rifle without a permanent dovetail mounting interface.
The Standard forend retains M-LOK accessory mounting while maintaining a smooth, unobtrusive profile that's comfortable to carry and maneuver through brush, timber, and challenging terrain.
- Minimalist Design: Streamlined underside without an integrated ARCA rail.
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Lightweight, rigid forend designed for demanding hunting conditions.
- M-LOK Compatibility: Supports appropriately mounted hunting accessories and rail sections.
- 11.9" Forend: Enclosed design with generous barrel clearance.
- 1.25" Maximum Barrel Diameter: Accommodates many hunting and precision barrel profiles.
Mounting Note: The Standard forend does not provide direct ARCA or Picatinny mounting. Compatible accessory rails or adapters are required for bipods and other equipment using those interfaces.
Ergonomic Carbon Fiber Pistol Grip
The included MDT carbon fiber pistol grip is a key part of the HNT26's hunting-focused ergonomics.
Its contoured profile promotes a natural hand position, comfortable palm support, and consistent trigger access. This becomes particularly valuable when transitioning between carrying the rifle, establishing a supported shooting position, and making precise shots from uneven terrain.
Carbon fiber construction minimizes weight while providing a warmer contact surface than exposed metal in cold conditions.
The HNT26 also accepts compatible MDT and AR-style pistol grips for shooters who prefer alternative grip shapes.
Folding Carbon Fiber Buttstock
The folding, foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock makes the HNT26 easy to transport while maintaining adjustable fit and precision rifle ergonomics.
- Folding Mechanism: Reduces overall chassis length for transportation and storage.
- Foam-Filled Carbon Fiber: Lightweight construction that helps dampen vibration, noise, and felt recoil.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser: Provides consistent alignment behind modern hunting optics.
- Adjustable Length of Pull: Approximately 12.5"–13.5" using the included spacer system.
- Smooth Exterior: Low-profile contours minimize snagging on clothing, packs, and vegetation.
The chassis measures approximately 29.8" with the stock extended and 20.6" folded, providing a convenient configuration for travel and backcountry use.
Precision V-Block Bedding
The HNT26 features a rigid magnesium alloy chassis with an integrated V-block bedding interface designed to provide consistent receiver support.
Unlike conventional sporting stocks, the HNT26 does not require traditional pillar bedding or glass bedding to establish its primary action-supporting surface.
This provides the structural advantages of a modern precision chassis while retaining the lightweight construction and streamlined handling desirable in a hunting rifle.
Remington 700 Short Action Compatibility
The 104999-BCF is designed for right-handed Remington 700 Short Action receivers and compatible Remington 700-pattern actions.
MDT also lists compatible configurations from manufacturers such as Bergara and other Remington 700-pattern rifle makers. Individual receiver geometry and aftermarket component compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.
The chassis accepts compatible AICS-pattern short-action magazines for supported cartridges such as .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and other appropriate short-action chamberings.
Important: This is a right-handed Short Action chassis, not a Remington 700 Long Action or left-handed configuration. Factory internal magazines and hinged-floorplate assemblies are not directly interchangeable with AICS detachable magazines.

Prefer Integrated ARCA? Explore the HNT26 Folding ARCA.
The Standard HNT26 is ideal for hunters who prioritize a minimalist rifle configuration and do not regularly use ARCA-mounted shooting equipment.
For hunters who want direct compatibility with ARCA bipods and tripod clamps, consider the MDT HNT26 Remington 700 Short Action Folding ARCA – 106129-BCF.
The Folding ARCA configuration retains the HNT26's magnesium and carbon fiber construction while adding an integrated ARCA mounting interface to the forend.
Both configurations are designed for lightweight hunting applications. The Standard version emphasizes streamlined handling, while the ARCA version offers greater flexibility for modern bipod and tripod systems.
