Mdt Oryx Sportsman Chassis For Howa 1500 Sa Right Hand Black
The MDT Oryx Sportsman chassis for Howa 1500 short-action rifles gives you a precision-rifle platform without the precision-rifle price tag. Built for shooters ready to turn a factory Howa into an accurate, ergonomic workhorse, this aluminum chassis replaces the original stock and transforms how your rifle handles and performs. Whether you're stepping into long-range hunting or sharpening your skills at the range, the Oryx Sportsman delivers the adjustability and stability that separate good shots from great ones.
The chassis itself is machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and hard-anodized to MIL spec, so it'll stand up to field use and weather. The action sits bedded on an aluminum block while the barrel hangs free-floated—both moves that tighten groups by eliminating inconsistencies in how the rifle naturally wants to shoot. At 4.2 pounds, it's not featherweight, but that mass contributes to stability and recoil management, especially important if you're running full-power rifle rounds.
Comfort and fit matter on long days afield. The integrated buttstock is fully adjustable, and you can fine-tune length of pull from 13 to 13.5 inches with the included spacer kit (the chassis itself adds 32.25 inches). The grip interface accepts standard AR15 grips, so you can customize your hold. Magazine compatibility is straightforward: the Howa 1500 SA inlet works with polymer magazines, and the chassis is built right-hand for conventional bolt-throw ergonomics.
If you own a Howa 1500 in short action and want real accuracy gains without a custom build, the Oryx Sportsman is the upgrade that actually delivers—solid aluminum, smart engineering, and the adjustability to dial in your fit.
