No worries! I have just followed up with your order and apparently your package was delivered today.Hey Josh, my order # is 5000000159-1. Thanks for your help!
Thank you Josh.I am very sorry to hear about your issues with our shipping times and if you want, reach out to me and I will get you an updated timeline on your order. @Codiekfx400 is right that things have been slower around SHOT show with a reduced team in house, but it is still no excuse for us to not have accurate dates for you.
We ship all of our Tikka chassis with an upgraded, steel recoil lug that we machine in house. No need to reuse your OEM one or go out and buy someone else's
Yessir. This chassis only weighs in the neighborhood of 4.5 lb (say 5.5 lb with a full magazine) and we would not expect users to drop in a CIP length action. If it is something you're after however, feel free to let the team know at [email protected] and we'll see about getting them implemented!
You're most welcome and I am sorry that we couldn't be more clear/quicker on our part. We appreciate your patience as we go through the slightly turbulent website switch, but promise to keep improving as we move forward.I LIKE EATING CROW!!! I had 3 different things ordered. The stock was suppose to ship two weeks ago. The spacer kit should have shipped today. And the mag should have shipped two weeks from now. Everthing showed up today. Thanks for putting up with my dumb ass! I will get to shoot it Saturday. And report back.
Thank you for the response MDT_Josh.No timeline on this yet, but I believe that there are a few LH's in the works
Little tricky to do, tbh. The flush cup would require a mold change to the plastic components and design change to the metal. The side folder may be doable, but it'll increase the price quite a bit!I'd love to see a flush cup in the front and a side folder in the future.

You're welcome and as always, we love hearing feedback about what people want out of their systems and chassis! One of the arguments to be made (moreso for the folder than the QD) would be; why not upgrade?Thanks for replying. Everything extra comes at a cost. There is a flush cup in the butstock so there should be on in the forend too. As to future "simple" upgrades a side folder would be great.
What he said!We need more photos and a review!
Glad to hear your interest! The Ruger American that is for pre-order on the Oryx Chassis Website is designed for AICS pattern mags. The XL Gen2 variant for the AR mags is brand new for us and if there is enough demand, there may be an inlet for the Oryx too?
https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/ruger-ranch-rifle-pmag-conversion.6915399/I have a Ruger American Ranch in 300BO... but sounds like feeding from a standard magpul pmag and the inletting for such on this chassis would be the best solution? If so is this even a consideration?
I have been wanting to upgrade from the flimsy hogue stock on my howa .22-250, but I honestly don't have any experience with DBM systems. I'm assuming the .22-250 will fit easily in the .308 mags but being a bit short, I don't know if they will have trouble feeding. I've got an Oryx in my cart, but wanted some guidance on what magazine to run with this before I committed. This seems like a great system for those like me to transition from hunting-style stocks to a chassis. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Josh
Making sure I understand this completely.
I have a Ruger American Ranch in 300BO. From what I can tell I can put it in the Oryx but it may not feed well with your or anyone's AICS mag. I'd be fine with your mag if it fed reliably but sounds like feeding from a standard magpul pmag and the inletting for such on this chassis would be the best solution? If so is this even a consideration?
I'd order one today if it worked reliably with my Ruger American Ranch in 300BO.
DBM systems are quite straightforward, usually, and are a great/easy way to upgrade the functionality of your rifle! Unfortunately for you, the 22-250 is a little bit tricky to run out of AICS pattern magazines, not because of the length, but because of the case taper. We have had a few shooters now run the 22-250 out of our polymer 308 magazines, but they are not a 100% guarantee to work. I would say it's up to you if you'd like to jump into this and set yourself up with a solid upgrade of a chassis, and if you decide to try out the poly mags, we will 100% support any returns or modifications you may need to make
Our polymer magazines are limited to 8 rounds by design right now, but the feedlips and internal ribbing may or may not agree with your rounds. Great to hear that you're interested in the Oryx and as I said before, if you have issues, we'll be sure to help you out and get your system up and running!Thanks for your response. I was worried about the taper with a full magazine, but maybe with a lower capacity mag (like the 8-round) it won't be a problem. Anyway, at that price, I am willing to give it a shot.

For 300 blackout that is the best solution, ...
Not sure yet, but I saw that Savage and Mossberg had factory bolt guns in the 224 Valkyrie at SHOT, so I would not be surprised if Howa was working on it!Do you think Howa will make a factory 224 Valkyrie 1500 in the Oryx chassis?
From what I have seen, there should be no issue with the Barloc in the Oryx. We inlet that part of the chassis (just ahead of the recoil lug) very similar to a lot of our other chassis and there is no contact in them We have a supported shooter in WA that will be doing this drop in test soon and I should have verified results for you.@MDT_Josh Do you know offhand if a nucleus with barloc will work in the chassis without the barloc contacting the backbone? Currently using KRG Bravos on my 2 nucleus builds but am thinking about maybe changing them out for the Oryx. The barloc nut is slightly binding on the bravo's backbone.
Thanks a lot josh.From what I have seen, there should be no issue with the Barloc in the Oryx.

The height is in the works now and I think that the new ACC's have them (may need a fact check here), but the cant is not something we see shooters adjust on the fly. If it becomes something we need to do, then well find a wayJosh, does MDT have any plans to come up with a tool less buttpad height and cant mechanism along the lines of the KRG model?
I am looking into this for you now! Maybe PM me so that I don't forget about the updates?@MDT_Josh
Hey Josh,
I ordered an oryx back around 1/21 for the RAP action (order #5000000198). Was wondering if I could get an order update.
The website now says shipping won’t start until Feb, 22nd. Is there any chance that shipping may begin sooner, or atleast that my chassis will arrive by the first week of March?? I was hoping to use the new chassis for the bighorn steel classic PRS match in Nebraska in March 8th!
@MDT_Josh I just received the Oryx chassis for a howa sa in .223. When trying to use a MDT .223 polymer mag the bolt does not travel far enough back to strip a round from the mag, any recommendations?
It will, you will just need to ensure that you have a longer round (2.230"+) to feed reliably once it has disengaged the feedlips of our polymer 223 magazines There is a potential for follower tipping.Will a rem 700 in 300blk work with your oryx chassis and magazines?
Josh or anyone else,
Any feeding issues using the non-binder MDT metal AICS 10/12 rds mags in the Bighorn Origin SA. I am planning a 6.5 CM budget build and am considering using the KRG Bravo or this Oryx Chassis and concerns with COAL in binder vs non binder with freebore in std .199" chamber.
Any insight appreciated, thanks gents!

It looks like other MDT chassis have Long action Savages. Do you think the Oryx will in the future? I wouldn’t think to many people would want a LA, but if you have the tooling for other chassis it would make a sweet 280AI project.

I had the same problem with Firefox when I tried ordering one. I had to open up the pages in chrome to get them to load correctly and be able to place an order.@MDT_Josh is the website down? I've been trying for a couple of days. Maybe they're just all sold out? On the order page, the picture (on the left) isn't loading and none of the drop down menus are showing anything.

The website appears to be up for me (Chrome user) and we have three inlets listed for sale currently. We have taken off some of the inlets that are heavily backordered or experiencing production issues right now. Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause and let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
That could be part of it to be honest. If you hold down control and refresh a page in chrome, it auto clears your cookies and that will usually solve a lot of the issues. If that doesn't work, then email [email protected] with a screenshot and we'll get it working for you!Hmm chrome is my default browser. I checked with chrome, Firefox, and Safari and got the same thing. I'll clear the cookies and try again tomorrow.
Thanks.

Josh,
Are you currently offering the complete Oryx Chassis in any other color than ODG(ie, Grey, FDE, Blk. etc etc)?
I see that you are offering the panels in different colors, but don't want to purchase the chassis and then shell out more for a different color.
Thanks,
TM6
