Key Features
- MDT HNT26 Chassis — Why it matters: This magnesium and carbon fiber stock shaves off weight without sacrificing stiffness, so you can carry it all day and still hold tight groups.
- Fluted, Threaded 26″ Barrel with Accubrake — Why it matters: The fluting reduces weight and aids cooling, while the threaded muzzle and included Accubrake cut recoil noticeably, letting you spot your own hits.
- Folding Stock Design — Why it matters: Collapse the stock for a 28-inch overall length, making it easy to pack in a backpack or store in a tight vehicle.
- Remington 700 Footprint Compatibility — Why it matters: You can swap triggers, bottom metal, and stocks from the huge aftermarket, so this rifle grows with you as you upgrade.
- 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag Chambering — Why it matters: This round delivers 3,300+ fps muzzle velocity with a 140-grain bullet, giving you a flat trajectory out past 600 yards and enough energy for elk at 400.
