Every new product starts with a problem. For the MDT DRT Chassis System, that problem was clear: no purpose-built rifle chassis combined the performance and adjustability of a competition system with the features serious night hunters needed. Lightweight hunting stocks, competition chassis, and rifles adapted for thermal and night vision all existed, but combining those capabilities usually meant compromising somewhere. Instead of adapting an existing hunting chassis by simply adding a night vision bridge, MDT set out to build a complete system from the ground up. The goal was a lightweight, rigid, highly adjustable chassis designed specifically for night hunting, incorporating the performance characteristics MDT refined through years of competition chassis development. The result is the MDT DRT Chassis System.
