The MDT CRBN: Not Just Another Rifle Chassis

22 October 2025, Jacob Tumolo

I have a love hate relationship with rifle chassis. I am 99% sure I have undiagnosed nerve damage in my fingertips after carrying a Sig Sauer Cross through a blizzard in upstate New York during rifle deer season a few years ago. I do love the Sig Cross, but I will never wear fingerless gloves while carrying it again. 
﻿
Most chassis and aftermarket stocks are heavy, cumbersome and generally irritating to me. The MDT CRBN is none of those things. 

First of all, it’s a true drop in for a Remington 700 SA footprint action – no Dremel and anger needed. It features an integrated ARCA rail, MLOK slots along the bottom of the fore-end and QD flush cups on both sides of the stock’s fore and aft. The V-block bedding, a magnesium micro chassis, integrated thumb shelves, 20-degree grip angle, an adjustment cheek riser and LOP; all come together to make this as a true precision chassis. The catch? It only weighs 27 ounces without bottom metal. 
﻿
I know what you’re thinking, “Jake, it’s gotta be hollow and loud if it's that light!” 
﻿
WRONG! It’s filled with a harmonically dampening foam from the brainiacs at MDT. This translates to a “dead” feeling rifle. But it also means you don’t spook game into the next state when it brushes against a pine branch. 

Jake's Setup

In my example, I took the little quick turn nuts off the cheek riser once I set it where I wanted.  I found them less than ideal with my setup (don’t worry, everything you need to do the same is in the box. You can also build a rifle out of it in a bunch of different ways. A little 16” .308 brush busting whitetail rifle? Easy day, a backcountry .300 WSM build with a suppressor and a Sendero barrel? Say less. 

We also have this stock, in combination with one of the Bergara barreled actions and a TriggerTech diamond, is the best easy button “build it yourself” rifle option on the market today in my opinion. All you need to do is add glass and some rings/bases. 

We are selling the CRBN right now for as low as $1,299.95 in its stripped-down form. The limited-edition camouflage models start at $1,699.95. This thing is literally worth its weight in gold, and I can’t recommend it enough!
