Derek Durre's Review of MDT Howa 1500 Short Action Rifle Chassis

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. Not paid or receiving any benefits for writing this review. Just trying to help anybody who's thinking of upgrading from the factory stocks.
