The MDT HNT26 Chassis System for the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action in black carbon fiber with a standard forend (MDT part no. 107837BCF) is a hunting-focused precision chassis built to replace a factory stock while keeping overall rifle weight low. It’s engineered specifically to fit short-action Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard receivers, and it feeds from AICS-pattern detachable magazines for fast reloads in the field. The carbon fiber construction shaves weight compared to aluminum chassis systems, and the standard-length forend keeps the rifle balanced and maneuverable for hunters who don’t need the extended ARCA-rail forend option. It’s built to give hunting rifles chassis-level rigidity and repeatability without adding pack weight.
