The MDT Oryx Sportsman Chassis transforms Tikka T3 and T3x short action rifles into precision instruments with enhanced ergonomics and modularity. This OD Green aluminum chassis system provides a stable platform that significantly improves accuracy potential over factory stocks while maintaining the rifle's lightweight handling characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hunting stocks, the Oryx Sportsman features a rigid aluminum construction that eliminates flex under load and provides consistent barrel harmonics shot after shot. The chassis accepts standard AICS-pattern magazines, allowing shooters to move beyond the factory magazine limitations. At 32.25 inches overall length, this configuration balances maneuverability with the stability needed for precision shooting applications.
Key Features
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for maximum rigidity
- Compatible with Tikka T3 and T3x short action receivers
- AICS magazine compatibility for enhanced feeding reliability
- Adjustable length of pull from 12.5" to 14.5" for custom fit
- M-LOK forend slots for accessory mounting flexibility
- Integrated QD sling swivel points for carry options
- OD Green Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance
Field performance centers on the chassis's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes and heavy use. The aluminum construction provides thermal stability that polymer stocks cannot match, while the bedding system ensures consistent receiver contact. Competition shooters benefit from the repeatable cheek weld and length of pull adjustments, while hunters appreciate the weather-resistant finish and improved magazine capacity.
