Introducing the HS3 Chassis System

[Picatinny]

Any left-handed versions?
May just buy a separate rifle for the chassis in RH if not.

The MSRP of $499, I'm assuming that is the price for just the standalone chassis, correct? Do you have a price as configured in the video, skeletonized butt stock & MOE grip? I'm hoping the full set up is competitively priced with some of the similar systems out there.

Correct, that is just the standalone chassis. So with the Skeleton butt-stock and using a $20 grip you are looking at $770 for the whole setup.

Yes, they will follow closely after!

nice...

Was hoping for a new offering as the LSS just didn't have the forestock design that I was after.

I think I just found the stock I'm gonna use for my upcoming build. Exciting!

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE news!!!!!

I want one configed just like in the video except OD Green wrapped around my Tikka T3 Tac!!!

Do I dare ask the weight as demoed in the vid? I want that set up but I'm a weight conscious type of guy when it comes to Precision rifles. Its too easy to build a heavy rifle. Lol

My .308 26" heavy barreled 700 sports a boyd & carlson light weight stock, a Vortex Viper 6-24x and a bipod. It comes in at 10.5lbs. I want this new chasis but am worried about the impact it would have with the MDT skeleton stock as well.

The 2 things that are driving me to make the change is the adjustability in the stock and the ability to use mags since bottom metals are expensive enough anyways.

I need to see this on a rifle. My imagination is broken.

 

[bellofello]

What's the weight in comparison to an identically configured LSS?

 

[de-mix]

Thanks very much for considering the Howa/Weatherby!

Nice to see your guy's stuff on american channels. I watch his channel all the time, so its cool seeing you guys supporting him as well as you guys getting good exposure down stateside.

What's the mag system going to be? I don't want to assume anything and it wasn't mentioned in the video or here in this thread.

 

[DW58]

Pretty safe to assume it's AICS as MDT make their own polymer AICS magazines.

 

[Boreas]

The underside of the foreend is exposed aluminum?

The video indicates attachment points for accessories. What form of attachment will it be? Is it proprietary? What accessories? They pockets seem too deep for pic rails and it isn't keymod. Are you offering a line of accessories for this chassis?

^---- This indeed! Always happy to see new things reviewed on 8541tactical

Correct. Hard black anodized.

We try to not use any proprietary systems, so that you have freedom of using any accessories you like.
So in this case you can use our rails for attachment, or Magpul rails.

But yes, you saw that rights. the pockets are too deep to just attach a rail. We will be sending spacers along with rails, and may also sell them separately to allow use of someone elses rails.

when are pre orders up?

Would be nice if MDT's website would post the weight savings or gain when swapping to their various stocks over the factory ones they are replacing.
