Italian hunter Fabio De Rubeis fitted an MDT ORYX aluminum chassis to his Remington 700 chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum for his latest trip after a decade of yearly antelope hunts in Namibia. Professional hunter Andrew had told him to leave the .416 Rigby at home because it was excessive for that game, so De Rubeis used the older rifle already equipped with a Timney trigger, muzzle brake, scope and synthetic BDL stock.
Range groups at 100 yards stayed inside the vital area yet lacked the repeatability he wanted for an eland, prompting the chassis change for rigidity, full adjustability and a solid action interface. After testing he said the setup gave him complete shooting confidence. The same chassis is not offered for his Sako 85 Finnlight in 6.5×55 SE that he uses on Hungarian roe deer.
