The MDT HNT26 Hunting Chassis 107835-BCF combines ultralight magnesium alloy construction, premium carbon fiber components, and precision rifle ergonomics in a purpose-built hunting platform for Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard Short Action rifles.
Finished in Black Carbon Fiber, this configuration features a folding carbon fiber buttstock, ergonomic carbon fiber pistol grip, and enclosed carbon fiber forend with integrated ARCA mounting. Weighing approximately 31 ounces, the folding ARCA HNT26 delivers modern precision chassis functionality without the bulk of traditional competition systems.
For mountain hunters, backcountry shooters, and lightweight precision rifle builds, the HNT26 offers an exceptional combination of portability, adjustability, and practical field performance.
Long climbs, steep terrain, and extended days in the field make rifle weight an important consideration. MDT designed the HNT26 specifically for hunters who want to eliminate unnecessary weight without giving up the advantages of a modern 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 result is a lightweight, rigid platform built around practical hunting performance.
The HNT26 family starts at approximately 26 ounces in its lightest configuration, while folding and ARCA-equipped models weigh approximately 31 ounces.
Carbon fiber contact surfaces also reduce the cold-to-the-touch sensation associated with exposed metal components, improving comfort during cold-weather hunting.
This configuration includes MDT's enclosed carbon fiber forend with integrated ARCA mounting, providing a versatile support interface without requiring a separate full-length ARCA rail.
For hunters using modern bipods and tripod systems, the integrated dovetail allows compatible ARCA accessories to attach directly to the chassis. This is particularly valuable when transitioning between handheld shooting, bipod-supported prone positions, and tripod-supported field positions.
Unlike the Standard HNT26 forend, the ARCA configuration provides greater versatility for hunters who regularly use supported shooting equipment while maintaining the chassis's lightweight design.
The included MDT carbon fiber pistol grip is an important part of the HNT26's hunting-focused ergonomics.
Its contoured shape promotes a natural, comfortable hand position while providing consistent access to the trigger. The lightweight carbon fiber construction helps minimize unnecessary mass and provides a more comfortable contact surface than exposed metal in cold conditions.
The grip complements the HNT26's streamlined chassis geometry, providing confident handling when carrying the rifle, establishing supported shooting positions, or working behind the rifle in uneven terrain.
For shooters who prefer a different grip geometry, the HNT26 also accepts compatible MDT and AR-style pistol grips.
The HNT26's folding, foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock provides compact transportation and storage while retaining the adjustable ergonomics expected from a premium precision hunting chassis.
The HNT26 measures approximately 29.8" with the buttstock extended and 20.6" folded, making this configuration especially appealing for hunters transporting rifles through confined spaces or challenging terrain.
At the foundation of the HNT26 is MDT's magnesium alloy chassis with an integrated V-block bedding interface.
This design provides a consistent supporting surface for the compatible rifle action without requiring conventional pillar bedding or traditional glass bedding.
Combined with the carbon fiber components, the HNT26 provides the rigidity and repeatability of a precision chassis while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
The 107835-BCF is designed for Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard Short Action rifles.
The chassis uses an AICS-pattern detachable magazine system rather than the original factory magazine arrangement.
Important Magazine Fitment: Some AICS-pattern magazines may require fitting to function properly with Howa 1500 actions. MDT has documented magazine fitment differences involving the Howa receiver. Verify magazine compatibility before purchasing or modifying magazines.
This chassis is not designed for Howa Mini Action, Howa Long Action, or Weatherby Mark V receivers.
Take advantage of the HNT26's integrated ARCA interface with premium shooting supports and precision accessories available from Pete's Pillars.
The HNT26 accepts compatible short-action AICS-pattern magazines. For appropriate .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor-family configurations, explore the MDT AICS 10-Round Polymer Magazine – 104447-BLK.
This lightweight polymer magazine offers a detachable-magazine option for compatible short-action AICS systems.
Howa/Weatherby Compatibility: AICS magazine dimensions and receiver geometry can affect fitment. Compatibility is not guaranteed without verifying the exact rifle and magazine combination. Magazine fitting may be required.
MDT offers the HNT26 with either a Standard or integrated ARCA carbon fiber forend. Both emphasize lightweight construction and hunting-focused ergonomics.
The Folding ARCA configuration is ideal for hunters who regularly use bipods, tripods, and modern precision shooting supports.
Hunters who prefer a simpler, streamlined forend can explore the MDT HNT26 Howa 1500 / Weatherby SA Folding Standard – 107837-BCF.
The Standard configuration retains M-LOK compatibility but does not include a full-length integrated ARCA mounting interface.
Fitment Reminder: Rifle action, barrel, trigger, optics, detachable magazine, bipod, and other accessories are not included unless separately specified.
Pete's Pillars is an authorized MDT dealer offering genuine premium hunting chassis systems, carbon fiber bipods, precision magazines, and carefully selected rifle accessories.
For hunters building a lightweight Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard, the MDT HNT26 Folding ARCA offers a compelling combination of magnesium and carbon fiber construction, refined ergonomics, and modern shooting support compatibility.
When every ounce counts, the details matter.
