No it certainly doesn’t. He was on top of the comms all morning. Made some very sensical recommendations, too.Their support certainly doesn't disappoint!
We suggest our 308 Winchester magazine for 22-250, however, we only suggest 4 - 6 rounds at one time.
Works for my Savage .22-250 pushing 80gr ELD-Ms through Magpul magsI have a Remington 700 in .22-250 incoming and am considering an Oryx. So a 5-round MDT .308 magazine should function flawlessly with .22-250?
It could, we usually suggest the polymer since they seem to work the best with the 22-250.I have a Remington 700 in .22-250 incoming and am considering an Oryx. So a 5-round MDT .308 magazine should function flawlessly with .22-250?
We do not at this time. We've had been feedback that in a shorter magazine it will be fewer rounds. Likely you will get two rounds before an issue in a five-round.Do you offer a 5-round polymer? My reasoning is that if over five rounds of .22-250 is going to cause a jam, I may as well use magazines that hold a maximum of five rounds to begin with.
Yes, that is correct.Is it the tapered case design that causes issues with that particular round?
They covered this previously here somewhere. It has to do with logistics, simplicity and keeping costs down. In order to keep the Oryx Chassis as (relatively) cheap as it is they package them with one color of panels and no selection option. Would add a lot to the overhead to have somebody looking at each order, going picking out the right side panels, putting them on the chassis, boxing it up again and sending it vs just grabbing the correct inletted box off a shelf, slapping a label on it and sending it out the door. Makes sense IMO.Question for MDT official : I want to buy a ORYX chassis for my Howa 1500 LA but not real crazy about Green. You offer other colors as aftermarket items, why not assemble the chassis with the customer's choice of colors ? I would rather have BLACK. Thank you.
Basically, what was said by @Epsilon is the case. Since we are a production company and our goal is to be in stock and ready to ship (isn't always possible, but we are working on that). Adding extra colors means that each chassis would require four variations, which means we have to carry four times the stock and 399.00$ goes out the window right away. Then you have to deal with other symptoms of that which includes things like product aging and so on.Question for MDT official : I want to buy a ORYX chassis for my Howa 1500 LA but not real crazy about Green.

We only offer a 5 round (based on magnum rounds) steel magazine in a long action.Thank you, I can understand that. Now my next question : I have had email with Ryan Holmquist and he told me that the mag I need is on a different page, I have a Howa 1500 in 270 Win. and want the STEEL mag. I do not want the plastic mag. It comes in a 10 shot. Is it available in a 5 shot ? I know I can load less rounds in the 10 but I just don't want all the extra mag hanging below the chassis. Thanks.
That looks great. I didn’t realize they were doing FDE but that chassis looks good! I put the sale grip and won’t do their other one I like it so much.View attachment 7463843View attachment 7463846
I made a few upgrades/improvements to my Oryx. Added an Armageddon Gear Cheeky Bastard stock pad. Swapped out the set screws in the adjustable comb for the thumbscrews. Changed out the stock overmolded grip for the MDT adjustable vertical grip. I replaced my "Ghetto Garage" homemade bag rider for the Jamer bag rider. No pic of the Jamer yet.
The grip is awesome, the Jamer is a really good stabilizing addition, and with my stroke deficits and pinched nerve in my left hip I need all the stability I can get. The thumbscrews are...well, thumbscrews. Much easier and quicker to make height changes on the fly if needed. Next up is to dump the Harris bipod for an Atlas, I think.
I may have a tracking issue with my Athlon that I'm going to be trying to validate here pretty soon.
I found the FDE at EABCO. I like it, too. Not going to drop $40 on black panels or rattlecan it. The grip is a pretty simple and slick design.That looks great. I didn’t realize they were doing FDE but that chassis looks good! I put the sale grip and won’t do their other one I like it so much.

And a couple of shots with the Jamer bag rider in place of my Ghetto Garage homemade bag rider. I'm liking this a lot, but only dry fire so far. It provides a good amount of stability over the narrow stock of the Oryx.
John will take care of you. 2 day shipping. I first saw the link a few pages back in this thread.Awesome, thanks!
I haven’t seen it anywhere for less than $399.Where can the Oryx be found for $299?
Mr Josh, if I have a Ruger American with the flush fit magazine; will this chassis allow me to use with my rifle? Or does it already have to be able to accept AICS magazines or is this not compatible with my rifle?
No sir, I have a American predator in .243, serial number starting 697-15###.
It is the early style that you can't swap out mag wells to convert. So if I'm understanding you correctly, I don't need the bottom cut in the bolt to switch to an AICS chassis? If that's Truly the case, you just sold an Oryx chassis!
I just found this tread and read some of this tread and would like too know if the R700 LA will fit a Lone Peak Arms Razor .338 action?
Mr Josh, I truly do appreciate the advice. I will be buying one soon.Yep you should have zero issues dropping that into an Oryx and running your 243 out of an AICS magazine!
Josh
Forgive me for being lazy and not going through all 17 pages but is it going to be available for us wrong handed folk (left handed)
Is there any way to add buttpad height and cant adjustment to an oryx?
Thanks Josh. I wouldn't expect that at this price point from the OEM so I hope it didn't sound like a complaint. I asked on here because was kind of wondering if there were 3rd party companies doing them like the Jamer bag riderNot currently unfortunately. This is one of our more basic chassis, so the feature set had to be intentionally limited to keep the costs down for you guys!
Josh
@MDT_Josh, can you please comment on the MDT Howa Mini magazine depicted here? They appear longer (higher capacity) than the Legacy Sports Mini magazines. Are these 10-round Grendel flavor? Can you provide the max internal OAL length, please?
It's been a year, any chance there's been progress on a 10-round magazine system for the Howa Mini in 6.5 Grendel? I'd buy two.
Just read through the thread looking to ask the same question!Is there any way to add buttpad height and cant adjustment to an oryx?
Yes it is, l used the v-tap assembly made for the Ruger Rpr. In this case I needed to replace one of the upper bolts on the oryx chassis with a longer one and drill / threat the lower one. I’m happy with the result.Just read through the thread looking to ask the same question!
