MDT HNT26 Chassis System

MDT HNT26 Chassis System

Overview

Ultra-lightweight. Purpose-built for the hunt.

The MDT HNT26 Chassis System is the world's first purpose-built ultralight hunting chassis, engineered for hunters who demand premium performance without unnecessary weight. Starting at just 26 ounces (for the chassis, buttstock, grip, and forend combined), the HNT26 delivers the strength, precision, and modularity of a chassis system while maintaining the lightweight handling of a traditional hunting rifle. 

Constructed with a magnesium chassis base, carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber pistol grip, and a foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock, the HNT26 is designed to keep your rifle light on long backcountry hunts while providing the rigidity needed for exceptional accuracy. Available with fixed or folding buttstock configurations and optional ARCA forends, this chassis system adapts to a variety of hunting styles and terrain.

Whether you're chasing elk in the mountains, sheep in alpine country, or whitetails through dense timber, the MDT HNT26 helps reduce pack weight without compromising precision.

Light enough to carry all day. Strong enough to trust when the shot matters.

Every ounce matters when you're climbing mountains, hiking remote trails, or spending days in the backcountry. The MDT HNT26 Chassis System was designed from the ground up to eliminate unnecessary weight while maintaining the precision, durability, and modularity that MDT is known for.

By combining a magnesium chassis with carbon fiber components, the HNT26 delivers exceptional rigidity without the bulk of traditional chassis systems. The result is a lightweight rifle platform that's comfortable to carry over long distances while providing the confidence and stability needed for ethical, accurate shots when opportunities arise.
