MDT HNT26 Ultralight Hunting Chassis – Savage Long Action CIP 3.850, Folding ARCA, Cobalt Green
The MDT HNT26 Hunting Chassis 106135-CKG combines ultralight magnesium alloy construction, premium carbon fiber components, and refined hunting ergonomics in a purpose-built platform for right-handed Savage Long Action rifles using the CIP 3.850" magazine configuration.
Finished in Cobalt Green, this configuration features a folding carbon fiber buttstock, ergonomic carbon fiber pistol grip, and enclosed carbon fiber forend with integrated ARCA mounting. The HNT26 delivers modern precision chassis functionality without the unnecessary weight of traditional aluminum competition systems.
Whether upgrading a Savage 110 hunting rifle or building a lightweight long-action magnum rifle, the HNT26 provides exceptional portability, comfort, and field versatility. When every ounce counts, thoughtful engineering makes the difference.
Ultralight Magnesium & Carbon Fiber Construction
Long climbs, steep terrain, and extended days in the field make rifle weight a serious consideration. MDT developed the HNT26 for hunters seeking a lighter rifle platform without sacrificing structural rigidity or practical adjustability.
The chassis combines an AZ61A magnesium alloy structural core with an enclosed carbon fiber forend, ergonomic carbon fiber pistol grip, and foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock.
The HNT26 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 reduce the cold-to-the-touch sensation associated with exposed metal, improving comfort during late-season hunting and extended periods outdoors.
Savage Long Action CIP 3.850 Magazine Configuration
The 106135-CKG is configured for right-handed Savage Long Action receivers using the extended 3.850" CIP AICS magazine format.
The extended magazine well accommodates compatible CIP-length detachable magazines, making this configuration particularly appealing for long-action magnum hunting rifles and precision field applications.
MDT lists numerous compatible Savage long-action rifle families, including selected Savage 110 Hunter, 110 Ultralite, 110 High Country, 110 Long Range Hunter, and 110 Storm models.
The 3.850" designation identifies the magazine format. Compatible magazines are selected according to the rifle's chambering and cartridge requirements.
Integrated ARCA Carbon Fiber Forend
This configuration features MDT's enclosed carbon fiber forend with an integrated ARCA/RRS dovetail mounting interface.
For hunters using premium bipods and tripod systems, integrated ARCA provides direct mounting compatibility without requiring a separate full-length accessory rail. Compatible shooting supports can be repositioned along the forend to accommodate different shooting positions.
- Integrated ARCA: Direct mounting for compatible ARCA bipods and tripod clamps.
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Lightweight and rigid for demanding hunting applications.
- M-LOK Mounting: Additional accessory mounting options.
- 11.9" Forend: Enclosed construction with a generous support surface.
- 1.25" Maximum Barrel Diameter: Clearance for a broad selection of hunting and precision barrel profiles.
From low prone positions with a lightweight bipod to elevated shooting positions supported by a tripod, the integrated ARCA forend expands the rifle's capabilities without compromising the HNT26's lightweight design philosophy.
Ergonomic Carbon Fiber Pistol Grip
The included MDT carbon fiber pistol grip is a defining feature of the HNT26's hunting-focused ergonomics.
Its contoured profile provides comfortable palm support and encourages a natural hand position with consistent trigger access. This is particularly valuable when carrying the rifle over long distances or establishing supported shooting positions on uneven terrain.
Carbon fiber construction minimizes unnecessary weight while providing a more comfortable contact surface than exposed metal during cold-weather hunting.
The HNT26 also accepts compatible MDT and AR-style pistol grips for shooters who prefer alternative grip geometries.
Folding Carbon Fiber Buttstock
The folding, foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock reduces overall chassis length for transportation and storage while retaining the adjustable ergonomics expected from a premium hunting rifle.
- Folding Mechanism: Compact configuration for convenient transportation and storage.
- Foam-Filled Carbon Fiber: Lightweight construction that helps dampen vibration and contact noise.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser: Provides consistent alignment behind modern hunting optics.
- Adjustable Length of Pull: Approximately 12.5"–13.5" using the included spacer system.
- Streamlined Exterior: Smooth contours reduce snagging on packs, clothing, and vegetation.
The HNT26 measures approximately 29.8" with the buttstock extended and 20.6" folded, making this configuration especially attractive for hunters transporting rifles through confined spaces or challenging terrain.
Precision Magnesium Chassis Bedding
At the foundation of the HNT26 is MDT's rigid magnesium alloy chassis with an integrated bedding interface designed to provide consistent receiver support.
This precision-engineered structure provides a stable foundation without requiring traditional pillar bedding or glass bedding.
Combining magnesium and carbon fiber allows MDT to deliver the structural advantages of a modern precision chassis while maintaining the lightweight handling expected from a dedicated hunting rifle.
