The MDT XRS Chassis System transforms the Tikka T3 short action into a precision rifle platform with aluminum rigidity and polymer ergonomics. This chassis delivers the structural integrity needed for consistent accuracy while maintaining field portability through its hybrid construction approach.
What Makes This Different
The XRS combines a machined aluminum core with polymer exterior panels, creating a chassis that weighs significantly less than full aluminum systems while maintaining superior rigidity compared to all-polymer alternatives. The aluminum backbone provides a stable bedding platform that eliminates flex under load, while polymer panels reduce overall weight and provide comfortable handling surfaces. This hybrid approach delivers the precision benefits of aluminum construction without the weight penalty.
Key Features
- Machined aluminum core with polymer panels for optimal strength-to-weight ratio
- Adjustable cheekrest with tool-free height and comb positioning
- M-LOK forend with full-length accessory mounting capability
- Interchangeable pistol grips accommodate different hand sizes and shooting styles
- AICS magazine compatibility accepts standard 5, 10, and extended capacity magazines
- Pillar bedding system ensures consistent barrel harmonics
- Ambidextrous sling mounting points and QD cup locations
Field testing demonstrates the XRS maintains sub-MOA accuracy potential while providing the modularity needed for different shooting disciplines. The chassis accommodates variable optic heights through cheekrest adjustment and supports both precision shooting and tactical applications. Weather-resistant construction handles moisture and temperature extremes without affecting zero retention or mechanical function.
