Reviews & Ratings for MDT Howa 1500 Short Action Rifle Chassis — 3 reviews — Page 1

I purchased a Vortex OPMOD Diamondback scope with a 50mm objective lens and a 20 moa base and this setup just didn't work with my factory Weatherby Vanguard griptonic stock so I researched buying a new stock for my deer rifle and determined that an MDT Chassis stock would be my best option. After looking at various sites and models, Optics Planet offered what I wanted at the best price. I put the stock on my rifle and installed my scope and I am very happy. The stock fit like a glove and I can use my scope without rubbernecking and have sighted in my scope and cannot wait until next month to get in the blind and try this new setup. I highly recommend this product, so far it has been exactly as advertised and has me set for deer season for several years.

I don't typically write reviews but MDT nailed this stock and kept it at a reasonable price. Optics Planet had it shipped to me fast as well! If you're on the fence about upgrading your Weatherby Vanguard SA stock or Howa 1500 SA stock.. just do it!! You won't regret it. This has all the features of a high-end factory or custom rifle stock. The MLOK forend makes it so you can put just about any accessory you want on it. The AICS magazine is something I prefer over the hinged floorplate. Adjustable length of pull with spacers is good for all sizes/ages of people. The free-floating barrel is a bonus to help with accuracy. But the best part of it all for me is the adjustable cheekpiece. If you want to run a larger objective lens scope this is almost a must if you want to have a proper cheek weld too. Being able to get behind your gun and have everything line up perfectly will make you never want to go back to a non-adjustable stock. Getting on target is so much faster. I don't shoot competitively, but hunting opportunities can come and go quickly.. At the end of the season don't let "I couldn't find it" or "I couldn't get my head settled behind my scope" be the reason you didn't fill the freezer or bag a trophy. Make the gun fit you, don't fit yourself to the gun! Installing is a breeze as well with this - 2 screws is all. But it's also very rigid. There's no concern about stability or rigidness. MDT allows that to happen with the adjustability they offer with this field stock....
