So I bought an Axis 308 20" Heavy/Threaded barrel as I have been planning on for a while now.
My original intent was to swap out to the new Magpul Hunter Lite stock, mind was made up. But then along comes MDT with the Field Stock with an Axis inlet. So now I am second guessing myself. Cost and weight wise is a wash, both are so close that neither is a decider.
It will be a general purpose rifle, plinking and casual long range shooting.
Probably spend most time on a bench, tripod or otherwise supported due to my physical ability's.

Does anyone have any experience or input on either?

I kept the stock on my Axis original and learned how to shoot with it the way it was - it actually made me a better shooter because of this.
 
Not with either of those, but I dropped mine into a Boyds, pillar & epoxy bedded, it shoots 100% better than the factory stock. I've love it.

I appreciate the feed back from those with these stocks.
I haven decided on the MDT. If I were doing offhand shooting I'd likely go with the Magpul but it will be on a bench/bipod or tripod for the most part and I think the MDT is better suited for than.
Will post up once I have it setup and get some rounds down range.
