MDT ACC Elite

[FNG1001]

Have the Jellies in my ACC Elite and in my expirience they weren´t that hard to fit, just like as i expected.
I used Redding Imperial Sizing Wax for both sides of the Buttstock with a bit of pressure .

did you notice a difference when using them?

 

[Lawyer]

Since i put them in before i even shot one Round, i can´t say if they make a difference or not.

What i can say: I hate if, if i shoot a Chassis and it vibrates and has a extended ringing after shooting it.
Didn´t notice any Vibration or Ringing after shooting, i would call it "dead enough", since i have no expirience with Foundation or Manners.
Usually i prefer a Stock instead of a Chassis, i´ve nothing to complain the ACC Elite, which a surprise even to myself.

I had hope that the "clear" Prototypes would make it into production, since they are the best match for the Blue ACC Elite in my Opinion.

I had a similar experience, I used hand sanitizer and they slipped right in like prom night. After 5 minutes all the sanitizer was gone

I had my elite for a few months before the jellies were released. Had a few original premiers a couple years before that. The vast majority of the improvement in felt vibration came from the stabilizer bar in the elite in my opinion. The jellies made a small improvement, but nothing major. I'd call it a 85 - 15 split. The jellies are significantly more effective in the original premier.

 

[A.Huggy]

I think the biggest improvement in harmonics between the premiere and elite is the stronger front section. The premiere would resonate like a tuning fork without some type of brace. Not an issue when shooting on bags but it bothered me when using a bipod.

Btw werent the control bridges supposed to have pins? Mine dont, not that it matters for me or for my use but was wondering if it changed, totally missed the info about it

The NV bridges will have the dowel pins but they are not needed on the control bridges

Hey @MDT_OFFICIAL when the crush it timers are supposed to hit the shelves?

They should be launched here in the next couple of months. Make sure you are signed up for the newsletter; we will let you know right when it has been released.

Thank you. Hope you will also launch a proper bag rider for the elite.

 

[rijndael]

Thank you. Hope you will also launch a proper bag rider for the elite.

JKL's is decent.

JKL's is decent.

Yep, but they don’t ship outside the US

 

[MDT_OFFICIAL]

Thank you. Hope you will also launch a proper bag rider for the elite.

Might be something in the works Make sure to stay tuned

The new comp gun build is ready and damn for me, this is a game changer vs the old setup. Tikka action, straight 26" 28.5mm thick barrel. Weight comes in around 11.5kg with the bipod and is still "lighter" and easier to maneuver and better balanced vs the trg build even though the trg weighed about 8.5-8.8kg and was slightly rear heavy. Have minimal trigger time with the setup but still super happy with the elite. Pretty much only two complaints are that its 6061 and not 7075. Dont know if it actually matters in the end, but kind of a snob about material, dont really see a reason why not to use 7075. The other is that even though the vblock bedding works like a charm, the amount of contact is so slim - pretty much only the edges that Im really thinking about bedding the action just in case. Someone complained about a different action that had the same amount of contact that it actually carved the chassis abit and ended up with some play at the rear of the action. But otherwise I love the elite. It really came down between this and the new Vision Pro chassis and since the vision doesnt have a tikka inlet yet and got the elite for a good deal thats that. The sics chassis would also be an interesting option (a few friends have them) but didnt like the 3 piece design, "short" fore-end (16") and especially the needlessly way too far forward barricade stop. Had the same issues with the original vision chassis

JKL Bag rider is awesome!

Awesome to hear you are enjoying the Elite chassis!
We went with 6061 as it is typically better suited to the needs of our designs.

Hey can we get an attachment for a dope card on the new crush it timer ? I think it would be better this way rather than adding another accessory on your rifle/scope. Send it level, a separate dope card, and on top of that another section for the timer. Would be a lot cooler if the timer and dope card were together. Also any plans to make the timer attatch to scope rails Like spuhr mounts?

IIRC, the Crush It Timer will take any standard Send It Level mount (picatinny, Spuhr, M-lok MDT mount, etc).

You will be able to use the same attachments as the LRA. As for the dope card, it is something that we looking into down the road.

Would It be a completely new unit or will it work with the first batch of timers being released soon ?

The mounts will work with the first batch of timers. As for the Dope card, that would be something completely different and a new project that we would need to put through the process

Nothing in the works specifically for that right now unfortunately!

Thanks for the feedback and we are getting a lot of data from those 3d prints right now to validate whether or not we want to invest the money to make something like Francis has designed!

- Josh

Josh, do you guys have any update on making something similar to Francis’ thumb rests?

I just saw that video. Sonded like just shaved down the normal one. Not a rocket appliance. Should be able to figure that one out with a grinder or a file if you’re lame

I was talking about the one on the forend for the non shooting hand.

It's 3D printed. Plenty of them are in the wild.

Looking for a softer butt pad. I have seen some MDT team shooters with something like a transparent one, wonder how to get it and give it a try.

Looking for a softer butt pad. I have seen some MDT team shooters with something like a transparent one, wonder how to get it and give it a try.

I have the MDT LSS Gen 2 chassis for one rifle and the Oryx for two other rifles. The factory recoil pad has nearly no forgiveness. I have Limbsaver Airtech slip-on and it is lovely for my 7 PRC. I recently bought and tried the Backstop recoil pad from Backfire TV. It was a neat idea and may work for others but I did not have good results.

My rifle last shot .64 inches for 3 shots. That Backstop opened it up to 4 inches and the recoil was all over the place. It was not a consistent recoil system and it also caused me pain on a few shots and I got a bad flinch. Cut my range trip short and spent a week unlearning the flinch with some more dry fire practice.

Went to a different and shorter range today and relaxed and got my zero back and no flinch.

I originally wanted a Falcon Strike hydraulic like I had on another rifle but Falcon Strike does not make one. I even talked on the phone with one of the engineers. Neat idea, sure, but not enough for them to tool a different kit.

I had hoped the Backstop would fill that need and have a neater, almost OEM look. It looks neat but it did not perform for me. It could be all me, of course.

I don't know if MDT is ever going to make either a softer recoil pad or a hydraulic one and I would pay what I paid Falcon Strike.

Another hack. Since a slip-on adds about an inch to length of pull, I took out the spacer in the Oryx stock. Fits like a glove, now.

I wonder if @MDT_Josh can find out if they ever will.

No update right now, other than we're continuing to test and refine a little with Francis.

We've done some looking into this idea but haven't made any traction on the system right now. Ckye makes the "Cush Pad" that'll fit most of our chassis: https://oldballsinc.com/products/copy-of-mdt-rear-bag-rider

Excellent, thanks. Just ordered one to try it out.
