The MDT Timber Core (MDT part no. 116017GMC) pairs the strength and stability of laminated construction with MDT’s proven micro aluminum chassis and V-block bedding, built here for the Ruger American short action, right-hand. The buttstock and forend are birch hardwood laminate, layered under pressure so the stock resists warping across temperature and humidity swings without needing a traditional bedding job. It’s a sporter-profile stock for hunters who want the accuracy of a bedded chassis without giving up the classic feel of a wood stock. Length of pull is adjustable, and sling swivel studs on the forend accept a traditional bipod or field sling.
