MDT HNT26 Ultralight Hunting Chassis – Savage Long Action CIP 3.850, Folding ARCA, Black Carbon Fiber
The MDT HNT26 Hunting Chassis 106135-BCF brings premium precision rifle ergonomics to an exceptionally lightweight hunting platform designed for right-handed Savage Long Action rifles using CIP 3.850" magazines.
Finished in Black Carbon Fiber, this configuration combines a magnesium alloy chassis, enclosed carbon fiber ARCA forend, ergonomic carbon fiber pistol grip, and folding carbon fiber buttstock. The result is a modern hunting chassis offering outstanding adjustability, portability, and versatility without the bulk of traditional aluminum competition systems.
For hunters building a lightweight Savage 110 long-action rifle, including compatible magnum configurations, the HNT26 delivers premium materials and practical field performance in a purpose-built backcountry platform.
When Every Ounce Counts
Extended hikes, steep mountain terrain, and demanding hunting conditions place a premium on reducing unnecessary rifle weight. MDT developed the HNT26 specifically for hunters who want the structural advantages of a precision chassis without carrying a heavy competition stock.
The HNT26 combines an AZ61A magnesium alloy structural core with carbon fiber components throughout. The complete chassis family weighs approximately 26–31 ounces depending on configuration, with folding ARCA models toward the upper end of that range.
Carbon fiber contact surfaces also provide a more comfortable feel than exposed metal in freezing conditions, making the HNT26 especially appealing for late-season hunting.
Savage Long Action CIP 3.850 Magazine System
The 106135-BCF is configured for right-handed Savage Long Action receivers with the extended AICS CIP 3.850" magazine interface.
This configuration is particularly appealing for hunters using compatible long-action magnum cartridges, where an extended magazine system offers additional flexibility for cartridge selection and precision rifle configurations.
MDT identifies compatible Savage long-action rifle families including selected Savage 110 Hunter, 110 Ultralite, 110 High Country, 110 Long Range Hunter, and 110 Storm models.
Integrated ARCA Carbon Fiber Forend
The HNT26 features an enclosed carbon fiber forend with an integrated ARCA/RRS dovetail mounting surface. Compatible ARCA bipods and tripod clamps can attach directly without an additional full-length rail.
This makes the HNT26 particularly versatile for mountain hunting, where prone shooting positions may be limited and tripod-supported shooting can provide a substantial advantage.
- Integrated ARCA: Direct attachment for compatible precision bipods and tripods.
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Lightweight, rigid, and comfortable in cold weather.
- M-LOK Mounting: Additional mounting options for compatible accessories.
- 11.9" Forend: Enclosed design offering a generous support surface.
- 1.25" Barrel Clearance: Accommodates a broad selection of hunting and precision barrel contours.
Ergonomic Carbon Fiber Pistol Grip
The included MDT carbon fiber pistol grip is designed around comfortable, natural rifle handling. Its contoured profile provides supportive palm contact while encouraging consistent trigger access from supported and field shooting positions.
The lightweight carbon fiber construction eliminates unnecessary mass and provides a comfortable contact surface in cold conditions.
For hunters spending long days carrying a rifle or working behind it in challenging terrain, these small ergonomic improvements make a meaningful difference.
The HNT26 also accepts compatible MDT and AR-style replacement grips.
Folding Carbon Fiber Buttstock
The folding, foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock provides compact transportation while retaining the adjustability of a premium hunting chassis.
- Folding Mechanism: Reduces overall chassis length during transportation and storage.
- Foam-Filled Carbon Fiber: Lightweight construction that helps dampen vibration and felt recoil.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser: Provides proper alignment behind modern hunting optics.
- Adjustable Length of Pull: 12.5"–13.5" using the supplied spacer system.
- Streamlined Design: Smooth contours help reduce snagging on packs, clothing, and vegetation.
The chassis measures approximately 29.8" with the buttstock extended and 20.6" folded.
Precision V-Block Bedding
The HNT26's magnesium alloy chassis incorporates an integrated V-block bedding interface designed to provide consistent support for the Savage receiver.
This rigid construction eliminates the need for traditional pillar bedding and provides a stable action-supporting foundation without adding unnecessary weight.
