@MDT_OFFICIAL i had a question - if one has a HNT26 with a fixed stock, can it be changed out to a folder? If so what is needed and what is the cost?
Assuming that you're using our MDT Carbon Premier Grip and no muzzle device, I calculated that the folded length with a 20" barrel to be about 78.6 cm, so you'd be a little under the 84 cm minimum So you'd either need to:@MDT_OFFICIAL
the country I hunt in has a minimum total length of 84cm with the stock folded, so I am wondering what is the total folded length of a Tikka or a remington LA with a 20” barrel?
nah gimme Zermatt/Lone Peak mediumOr an XM length!
While I'm not speaking for the company (not affiliated in any way) I asked and was told in person that the person I talked (works for them and is known to many) to was told they wanted to have options avaliable for them before they offered them to us....I personally think that's a stupid response but it is what it is. That said I did see a black carbon lefty one in person so they do exist already just not avaliable to us normal people.@MDT_OFFICIAL do you have an ETA for left hand HNT26?
We do not; it will likely happen, though. Make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to be kept up to date with all future product launches.@MDT_OFFICIAL do you have an ETA for left hand HNT26?
No plans for an XM at this time, but possible in the future.Or an XM length!
Man, that big blog post talking about how great the XM mags are. . . Hmm. . . lolNo plans for an XM at this time, but possible in the future.

Aren't XM and Lone Peak Mediums the same footprint?
Any update on the Tikka SA order status? Right at 11 months.@MDT_OFFICIAL
@MDT_Josh
What is the particular production/QA issue with the chassis in Tikka SA with Arca and folder?
Ordered 8/4/21 ($1600 collected), with 6-8 week lead time
Emailed 10/7/21, response - all backordered chassis would ship by 10/15/21
Emailed 10/26/21, response - 2 to 3 more weeks, the chassis are in QC
Emailed 11/29/21, response - 5 to 6 more weeks, flooding, still in QC
I'm extremely disappointed I did not have this for elk season, even more so to not have it for the NRL Hunter season. I would email support again, but they appear to only give placating responses. It's pretty close to 6 months at this point -- coincidentally so is Ground Hog Day. What's really going on?

There have been reports of a few that have come out not fully tightened (that's on us and our QWC team, sorry!). All you need to do is remove the little rubber plug, use a 1/4" hex key (I found that a long, L-shaped one works best) and crank it gorilla tight!does anyone else have a little wiggle in the buttstock? mine wiggles where the buttstock joins with the rectangular tube (where the folder would be. mine is fixed stock)
i took the little rubber plug out but couldnt see enough inside to see if there was a way to tighten it. granted i did this during a match
It is the same folding design as they have been running on the ESS and ACC chassis systems and it's solid. It takes a little getting used to because you have to push the button in to get it to fold 90⁰ and it has to be pushed even further in to fold all the way over.Anybody with the folder care to comment on rigidity when unfolded?
Is it rock solid?
And I'm guessing that its compatible with all MDT grips such as the adjustable vertical Premier (yeah, for those us with tiny children hands LOL)
Very interesting and innovative chassis.

Using mine on a long action for a 7mm RM hunting rifle. The lockup is solid. The only reason I haven't bought a second one for a short action is that the way the forend is designed interferes with my ability to use quick change barrels with my Terminus Zeus.Anybody with the folder care to comment on rigidity when unfolded?

Mine is a 7 saum short action with a proof carbon barrel. Mine balances great.@chutinlead @Disturbingiraq @Franko
Thanks guys.....and I'm assuming you use these as part of a hunting rig.
With steel barrels and not CF? And if so, how's the balance as this is indeed a very light weight stock (as intended).
Cheers
i run a 27" heavy varmint with a razor gen 3. balance is just ever so slightly front heavy on a gamechanger@chutinlead @Disturbingiraq @Franko

Wow...now that is indeed a pretty heavy barrel and it still balances nicely. Wonderful.i run a 27" heavy varmint
Mine is a hunting rig in 7mm RM. I am running a 26 inch Bartlein CF barrel. All in weight with sling (but no bipod) and mag/ammo is 10 pounds and an ounce or two. Balance point is about 2 inches forward of the magazine well.@chutinlead @Disturbingiraq @Franko

What sorta velocities are you getting out of that 20” barrel?Mine is a 7SS with a 20" carbon6 magnum profile and a 7" can. It handles and balances perfectly
Great idea and definitely something we're investigating! No details for you right now though@MDT_Josh
Are there plans for a 3 round polymer LA mag like the SA flush mag?
I would also like to see a 3rd binderless or 2.950" mag for the short mags. Maybe team up with Hawkins Precision and offer some of their mags that a guaranteed to work in the HNT26. That mag is the perfect length, but the 2 I've tried are so tight they won't drop out. Might as well be a BDLGreat idea and definitely something we're investigating!

I have a 3rd accurate WSM mag. Is the MDT one shorter?
I want a 3rd 2.950 for 308 boltface though
not sure. it sticks out the bottom of the hnt26 a little bitI have a 3rd accurate WSM mag. Is the MDT one shorter?
This is mine with a 3rd Accurate mag. The mag is my least favorite part of this whole rifle.not sure. it sticks out the bottom of the hnt26 a little bit
wish there was a flush 308 (and magnum) mag though for the hnt26. with 2.95/2.98 coal
If you have questions about an order, please reach out to us through our support portal through the link below with your order number, and our support team can help you out.@MDT_OFFICIAL I've got an order in on Feb 12. for a LA folder/ARCA/CF combo. Do you have any idea what lead times are looking like at this point? I love my SA and am chomping at the bit.
Same height overall between our 3RD metal and Accurate's.I have a 3rd accurate WSM mag. Is the MDT one shorter?
Nobody:We cut down an old 6gt barrel to 16" and threw it in the HNT26...View attachment 7911556
What caliber did he use?My son used his Defiance / HNT26 build for a deer hunt on the weekend. Took two fallow deer does (we are in Australia), both at 220 meters off a carbon tripod attached to the arca rail. He loves the rifle.
