The Newly Redesigned MDT JAE-700 G4 Chassis is Coming Soon!

MDT, the new owners of the JAE Chassis brand, announced the newly redesigned JAE chassis. The “JAE-700 G4” will be available for preorder in the next couple of weeks.

From the JAE Chassis Facebook page, we learned

  • “Parts are being made for the first production run and pre-orders will be available soon. Please make sure you are signed up for the Newsletter on the website so you don’t miss the e-mail.”
  • “The NEW JAE-700 G4 Chassis will include both the Vertical Grip (shown in this photo) and the Angled Grip so you can use the one most comfortable for you or switch between the two.
  • “The vertical and angled grips for the G4 bolt on a different way so they do not fit the older models.”
  • “We will be making left-handed, just not on the first production run”
  • “The Adjustable Magwell helps you dial in the perfect fit and feed on your mags.”
  • “A lefty was made with the original JAE-700 under J. Allen also. The NEW JAE-700 G4 required new tooling and new processes with the bolt-on skins.”
  • “We will be starting with a Short Action first. Plans for LA, and not sure about Medium at this time.”
  • “We definitely have plans to make the new generation of the JAE-100 for the M1A / M14 once we get the REM 700 Chassis shipping.”

Hopefully, the JAE 700 G4 will be priced like other MDT products. Regardless after two and a half years of delay, we will finally be able to finish the 6.5 Creedmoor Long Range Sniper Rifle build.

MDT ELITE SCOPE RINGS

MDT ELITE SCOPE RINGS
MDT Elite Scope Rings with Built In Anti-Cant Level

Anti-Cant devices are very important to long range precision shooters, it’s good to see scope ring and scope mount manufacturers incorporate anti-can’t bubble levels into their product offerings. Modular Driven Technologies the folks behind the MDT TAC21 Chassis System are now offering their Elite Scope Rings with Built In Level. MDT makes good stuff so I have every expectation that these rings will be well made and accurate. 

What’s an Anti-Cant Device Do? as the name implies it’s a level designed to help the shooter hold the rifle perfectly level and avoid “canting” or tilting the rifle when taking a shot.

Scope Tube Diameters

  • 30mm
  • 34mm
  • 35mm

Scope Ring Heights

  • Low .820″
  • Medium 1.000″
  • High 1.250″
  • Extra High 1.500″

MDT ELITE SCOPE RINGS

MDT Elite Scope Rings offer a solid, lightweight mounting system for your optics. Made from precision-machined aluminum.

MDT ELITE SCOPE RING DETAILS

The MDT Elite Scope Rings offer a solid, lightweight mounting system for your optics. Made from precision-machined aluminum, they are available in 30mm and 34mm diameters. The two diameter options are available in four different heights (measured from top of rail to center of bore).

MDT ELITE SCOPE RING SPECIFICATIONS

  • Designed for ultimate precision and strength
  • 25mm (0.984”) of lateral contact with scope tube
  • 30mm (1.181”) of lateral contact with mounting rail
  • The main body is machined on an automated seven-axis, high-end CNC machine tool
  • Extra wide profile provides extremely stable mounting
  • The bottom rail interface is machined at the same time as the scope clamp interface, guaranteeing all rings are square and parallel
  • CMM checked to 1.5 millionths of an inch precision
  • Machined from Billet 7075-T651 Aluminum – 1/3 the weight of steel with similar strength
  • Extra thick clamp system will never bend, fatigue, or become loose with use
  • Built-in bubble level on medium, high, and extra-high rings (No bubble level on low rings)
  • Stepped base-to-cap interface allows the fasteners on one side to be tightened before making final scope alignment adjustments
  • Six oversized #8-32 Grade 8 fasteners used for clamping the scope
  • Sleek curves blend well into most scopes

MDT Precision Scope Rings are designed and manufactured to STANAG 4694 specification, also known as “NATO spec”. This means the scope ring sits tight to the top of the scope base rail, with pressure being applied to the underside of the angled rail surfaces to maintain a solid interface (as shown below). This design also allows mounting on out-of-spec rails:

By contrast, US MIL-STD-1913 spec mounts attach only to the angles sides of the rail, leaving a small gap between the top of the rail and the underside of the mount, and significantly reducing the amount of contact area between the mount and rail:

Testing performed by NATO has shown that the STANAG attachment method increases the robustness of the interface, leading to increased alignment repeatability. MDT Elite Precision Scope rings can be mounted to scope base rails designed to both the STANAG and MIL-STD specifications.

The ORYX is a one-piece integrated aluminum chassis and buttstock created to improve the consistency and accuracy of a bolt action rifle that retails for under four hundred dollars.

What Makes the ORYX Chassis so Great?

ORYX is a one-piece integrated aluminium chassis and buttstock created to improve the consistency and accuracy of your bolt action rifle.

  • Free Floating Barrel: We let the bore do the chore. The ORYX keeps your barrel free of any contact with the chassis components for greater consistency.
  • Solid Action Interface: Each ORYX is designed for your specific rifle model – holding your action solid for better accuracy.
  • Integrated Rifle Stock: From the forend to the buttpad – ORYX is one piece of aircraft grade aluminium. Solid. Straight.
  • Contoured Forend Grip: You always have your hands on your rifle – why not make it feel perfect when you hold it? The ORYX fits great in your hands and sits solid on barricades and platforms. And for those cold days in the woods or when things heat up at the range the ORYX polymer side panels keep your hand’s comfortable no matter the conditions.

ORYX Chassis Specifications

  • Made of hard anodized T6061 aluminum
  • Adjustable comb
  • Adjustable length of pull
  • M-LOK slots on bottom of the forend to attach bipods and other accessories
  • Flared magazine well to improve and speed up the loading process
  • Mag well acts as barricade stop
  • Multiple QD attachment points
  • Includes MDT contoured pistol grip

Polymer side panels provide added handling and ergonomics – including a thumb shelf – which lends itself to a variety of hand positioning and shooting techniques.

Weighing in at 3.2 lbs, the ORYX is the perfect platform for a hunting rifle.  The ORYX can accommodate up to a 1.25″ straight taper barrel, which makes the ORYX perfect for a precision rifle build.

The ORYX is currently available for the Remington 700, Howa 1500, and Tikka T3. Releases for the Remington 783, Howa Mini, and Ruger American are slated for early 2019.

Modular Driven Technologies Black Friday Sale 2018 – New Stock, Cosmetic Blemished Factory Seconds

Modular Driven Technologies has sent out a few black friday sales emails today. Im mostly interested in the LSS Chassis for $239, I will order on Friday (Payday). I will probably go for a $269 long action version. There is outstanding deals on cosmetic blemished factory seconds. Examples, a left handed TAC 21 is $276!!!. Equally intriguing is the skeleton stocks that are $100-$150 off. I don’t think I can swing a stock and a chassis though. If anyone reading this purchases something that’s a factory second I would like to see some pictures and hear some feedback about what the cosmetic defects are.

BROWNELLS MDT BRN-1 M-LOK CHASSIS

To me this is an unexpected product offering from Brownells, a Brownells branded MDT LSS Chassis. Brownells used to be slow to respond to firearm market trends and in my opinion this bolt action chassis finally shows some forward thinking on Brownells part. For me as i have stated before I really like partnerships between my favorite companies and Modular Driven Technologies and Brownells are two of my favorites. lastly i think the Rams head logo is a cool touch given that’s exactly the types of beasts that might see action from this chassis.

There are currently 18 models to choose from including two for the Ruger American Rifle. Colors are Black or Flat Dark Earth aka FDE
