Why the MDT HNT26 Stands Out
1. Unparalleled Lightweight Design
The HNT26 weighs only 26 ounces (standard fixed version), thanks to its magnesium alloy construction. Paired with a carbon fiber forend, carbon fiber pistol grip, and foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock, it’s the ultimate choice for hunters seeking maximum portability during long treks in rugged terrain.
2. Adjustable for Perfect Fit
This chassis ensures a customized shooting experience with features like:
- Length of Pull (LOP) and comb height adjustment to suit individual preferences.
- Compatibility with AICS magazines, offering efficient and reliable cartridge feeding.
3. ARCA Integration and Compact Storage
With the increased use of ARCA tripods for shooting stability, the HNT26 includes an option for a carbon fiber forend with an integral ARCA rail. The chassis also features a foldable buttstock option, making it compact and easy to transport in any condition.
4. Purpose-Built Hunting Features
Unlike adaptations of tactical models, the HNT26 was designed from the ground up for hunting. Its silent operation, lightweight design, and field-ready portability ensure unparalleled performance in real-world scenarios.
