baldie Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Just finished this for Mash. This is a left hand Remington action, fully blueprinted , and fitted with a Walther 1 in 8" sporter barrel at 20". Trigger is a Timney , and the mod is an SL5. The stock is an MDT lightweight chassis system, and is fitted with a magpul CTR stock and cheekpiece raiser and extra fat buttplate. These chassis are very nice, and are very well made. The only couple of niggles are that only AR15 grips without the rear arch will fit, and upon blasting the chassis for Ceracoat, I noticed that it was possibly the weakest anodising I,ve ever removed, had been used. Not a problem to me....it now wears an allover coat of Ceracoat H series , magpul OD green , to match the furniture. The rifle weighs 8.5 lbs. Most of which is that moderator !

Guest Stacka Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 How's the balance on it, the chassis looks a little short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 What calibre? When you get your mitts on it Matt, I'd love to get a chance at handling the rifle;. It's exactly what I was designing in my head - even l/h! (think you'll need the 0.75" CTR cheek raiser) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(think you'll need the 0.75" CTR cheek raiser) this is in 243win ,lightweight stalker for me and adjustable stock in case any of the kids fancy a go, might put a folding bracket on the stock in the future yeah no probs ,Orca also wants a look I have another cheek riser which looks a lot higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 The cheek riser I've fitted made quite a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just out of interest Dave, did you bed the action, or was it just bolted in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've had the MDT Tac21 for around three months now, can't speak highly enough of modular Driven technologies products. Mine contains a Tikka T3 Super Varmint in .300 WSM and it's both very accurate and a sweet shooter, soaks up the recoil. I highly recommend MDT products, looks like Baldie has put together a great rifle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackb Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 not really my bag but interesting none the less ? baldie seems to have built another nice bit of kit. how does the stock compare weight wise in comparison to PSE stuff? it doesn't look great for positional shooting or from sticks ?

DW58 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 The MDT LSS suffers from having a very short forend - MDT have a section on Canadian Gun Nutz forum and there users have been pleading for an LSS with a longer/deeper/wider forend but this seems to be falling on deaf ears. I discussed this with Maarten van Ruitenberg (co-director of MDT) over a series of e-mails, it appears that a small batch were made with extended forends for a US custom rifle builder at his request, but otherwise there has been no mention of releasing these to the open market. This was the ain reason I opted for the Tac21 over the LSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dac9976 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Very nice:) Would a Valkyrie action fit in one these chassis, or would it need tweaking Dave? Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 It would need the bolt slot tweaking and a respray Danny, but it would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONG RANGE CAPT Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Dave - look great, Ive ordered mine for a left handed T3 - I'll bring it over to you for its Ceracote job when its ready. Kind regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian 1 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The weight is and balance is ideal as I had my dirty mitts on it on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've looked on their website and they are not inletted for many actions. What is the general consensus re Tikka T3 actions? I have heard they are pretty good? I also remember reading somewhere the best Remington actions are the early ones. The question is how early should I be looking?

Cumbrian 1 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Any thoughts on cheekweld / eyeline height for scope use? I am quite tall and I prefer a very tight cheekweld, I think with the lowest ring height the stock would be too low with the current cheekpiece. As far as balance goes the short barrel really helps it is a rifle I could quite happily shoot offhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
