MDT HNT26 Ultralight Hunting Chassis – Remington 700 Short Action, Folding ARCA, Cobalt Green
The MDT HNT26 Hunting Chassis in Cobalt Green combines advanced lightweight materials, adjustable ergonomics, and modern precision rifle features in a purpose-built hunting platform.
Designed for right-handed Remington 700 Short Action rifles, this 106129-CKG configuration includes a folding carbon fiber buttstock, integrated ARCA forend, magnesium alloy chassis, and distinctive Cobalt Green factory finish.
Weighing approximately 31 ounces in the folding ARCA configuration, the HNT26 provides the benefits of a modern precision rifle chassis without the substantial weight of traditional competition systems.
Whether you're upgrading a factory Remington 700, building a lightweight mountain rifle, or selecting components for a premium custom hunting rifle, the HNT26 delivers an impressive combination of weight savings, adjustability, and versatility.
Purpose-Built for Backcountry Hunting
Long days in the mountains place a premium on equipment weight. The MDT HNT26 was engineered specifically for hunters who want the rigidity and features of a precision chassis without unnecessary bulk.
The chassis combines an AZ61A magnesium alloy structural core with a carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber pistol grip, and foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock.
These lightweight materials help reduce overall rifle weight while preserving the rigid action support and ergonomic adjustability that make chassis systems appealing to precision rifle shooters.
Carbon fiber contact surfaces are also more comfortable to handle in cold conditions than exposed metal components, an especially useful characteristic during late-season hunting.
Folding Carbon Fiber Buttstock
The HNT26 features a folding, foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock designed to make transportation and storage more convenient.
The folding configuration reduces the overall chassis length from approximately 29.8 inches to 20.6 inches, allowing for a more compact package when the stock is folded.
The foam-filled carbon fiber construction also helps dampen vibration and felt recoil while maintaining the low weight expected from the HNT26 platform.
Additional features include:
- Folding Stock: Compact configuration for transportation and storage.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser: Allows a consistent position behind the optic.
- Adjustable Length of Pull: Approximately 12.5" to 13.5" using the included spacers.
- Foam-Filled Carbon Fiber: Lightweight construction with vibration-dampening characteristics.
- Low-Profile Design: Smooth exterior contours intended to minimize snagging on equipment.
Integrated ARCA Carbon Fiber Forend
This premium HNT26 configuration includes an enclosed carbon fiber forend with an integrated ARCA mounting interface.
The built-in ARCA surface provides a convenient attachment interface for compatible tripods, bipods, and shooting supports without requiring a separate full-length rail.
For backcountry hunters using tripod-supported positions, the integrated ARCA configuration offers a useful balance between mounting versatility and lightweight construction.
The enclosed forend also incorporates M-LOK accessory mounting provisions and supports barrel profiles up to 1.25 inches in diameter.
With an approximate forend length of 11.9 inches, the HNT26 provides a substantial support surface while retaining a compact hunting-oriented profile.
Magnesium Alloy Chassis & V-Block Bedding
The HNT26 uses a precision-engineered magnesium alloy chassis with integrated V-block bedding to provide a rigid foundation for compatible rifle actions.
The V-block supports consistent action positioning while the structural magnesium core offers an excellent strength-to-weight balance.
This makes the HNT26 especially attractive for lightweight precision hunting rifles using modern optics, carbon-wrapped barrels, and premium Remington 700-pattern actions.
Remington 700 Short Action Compatibility
The MDT HNT26 106129-CKG is designed for right-handed Remington 700 Short Action rifles and compatible Remington 700-pattern actions.
MDT also lists compatibility with selected Bergara B-14 and Bergara Premier short-action models, along with many Remington 700-pattern custom actions.
Fitment should be confirmed for specialized or heavily modified receivers.
The chassis accepts compatible short-action AICS-pattern detachable magazines, with magazine selection dependent on the rifle's chambering and configuration.
This is the Short Action inlet and is not interchangeable with the Remington 700 Long Action configuration.
Cobalt Green Factory Finish
The Cobalt Green finish gives the HNT26 a distinctive appearance while retaining the premium carbon fiber components that define the chassis.
The green and black combination complements a wide selection of barrel finishes, optic systems, and other rifle components.
Unlike aftermarket painted or custom-coated systems, this is a genuine MDT factory color configuration with the same construction and features as the other HNT26 finishes.
