Looking for a lightweight bolt-action rifle chassis built for serious hunting, field shooting, and recreational use? The MDT DRT – Dead Right There Chassis System delivers a lightweight, rigid platform designed for shooters who want control, balance, and customization without unnecessary bulk.
Built around a lightweight magnesium chassis system with aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber components, the DRT gives your rifle a solid foundation while keeping overall weight down. Its design combines modern ergonomics, versatile accessory mounting, and extensive tuning options, making it well suited for hunting rifles, precision field builds, and lightweight recreational setups.
Pete’s Pillars is proud to be an authorized MDT dealer, supplying shooters with quality components for both rimfire and centerfire bolt-action platforms. We understand that a chassis needs to do more than look good. It needs to carry well, provide consistent support, accept the accessories you actually use, and fit the shooter comfortably.
The MDT DRT was designed with exactly that kind of real-world use in mind.
Lightweight, Rigid Construction
The DRT combines a skeletonized magnesium chassis and buttstock with carefully selected aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber components.
This material combination keeps the system lightweight while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent shooting from prone, barricades, bags, tripods, and other field-supported positions.
At approximately 3.2 lbs / 51.2 oz, the complete chassis system provides a strong balance between weight savings, rigidity, and functionality.
Tunable for the Shooter
The DRT gives shooters the ability to configure the rifle around their individual shooting style, optic setup, clothing, and preferred shooting positions.
Its tunable cheek support, configurable length-of-pull system, customizable grip position, and modular accessory interfaces allow the chassis to be tailored for a more natural and repeatable shooting position.
Whether you're building a lightweight hunting rifle or a more specialized field setup, the DRT gives you room to configure the platform around the way you actually shoot.
ARCA, M-LOK & Accessory Integration
The DRT provides multiple mounting interfaces for support equipment and accessories without unnecessarily adding weight.
The aluminum ARCA rail is compatible with ARCALOCK and RRS Lock interfaces, giving shooters a solid mounting surface for compatible tripod and bipod equipment.
The forend also incorporates M-LOK mounting locations, a configurable M-LOK thumb shelf, and an offset Picatinny accessory rail.
This allows shooters to build out the chassis around their preferred equipment while keeping the overall setup clean and functional.
