The MDT ORYX one-piece aluminum chassis free-floats the barrel and provides a rigid foundation for the action. The forend features M-LOK slots for mounting accessories, and the chassis carries clear ORYX branding. The rear includes a bag rider and a skeletonized section to reduce weight while preserving strength.
The barreled action is chambered in .308 Winchester and uses a 24-inch heavy-profile barrel with a plain crown. This configuration is built around a forged steel receiver, and the rifle feeds from AICS-pattern magazines; one 10-round MDT polymer magazine is included for a 10+1 capacity.
Ergonomics are dialed in through the adjustable cheek riser and adjustable length of pull. The listed length of pull is 14.0 inches. The chassis is finished in black/gray, while the barrel is finished in tan, giving the rifle a distinctive two-tone look.
Two-piece Picatinny scope bases are installed at the factory mounting points, providing a ready interface for your optic of choice. An Audere bipod is already mounted for stability, and an S3-branded M-LOK accessory plate is installed beneath the forend for additional accessory options.
