MDT ACC Elite Chassis Base, Savage SA

• Competition-focused chassis layout: Built around match use, the MDT ACC Elite chassis gives a stable, straight-tracking platform that supports consistent positional shooting and recoil control in precision rifle competition.
• Rigid aluminium construction: The aluminium body adds strength and stiffness, helping the action stay well supported under hard use while keeping the chassis durable for regular range and match travel.
• ARCA and M-LOK forend: The forend combines ARCA and M-LOK interfaces, making it easier to mount bipods, tripods, weights and other accessories in the positions needed for stage-specific setups.
• AICS magazine compatibility: Compatibility with AICS-pattern magazines gives access to a widely used magazine standard, which is practical for competition shooters building around common precision-rifle components.
• AR-15 grip and XTN buttstock interfaces: The chassis accepts AR-15 style grips and uses an XTN buttstock interface, giving builders more freedom to tailor grip angle, stock geometry and overall fit to their shooting style.

About the MDT ACC Elite Series

The MDT ACC Elite series sits in MDT’s competition-oriented chassis range and is built for shooters who want a purpose-made platform for precision-rifle matches. Introduced in December 2022, the series focuses on rifle balance, adjustability and support for modern match accessories rather than on lightweight field carry. Its design centers on a full-length ARCA forend and a system for adjusting rifle weight, giving competitors more control over how the rifle handles on barricades, bags and tripods.

Across the series, MDT pairs a strengthened forend with a connector bar running from the grip area to the buttstock to improve rigidity. The ACC Elite family also incorporates practical competition details such as an adjustable M-LOK thumb rest, an adjustable magazine latch and an RRS Lock interface beneath the forend. Depending on the inlet, the series covers several popular precision-rifle actions, making it relevant to shooters building dedicated match rifles around established platforms. The overall design philosophy is clear: a highly configurable chassis system that helps shooters tune fit, balance and support equipment for repeatable performance under stage pressure.

About the MDT ACC Elite Chassis Base, Savage SA

The MDT ACC Elite Chassis Base, Savage SA is the fixed-core version of the ACC Elite platform for Savage short-action rifles, aimed at shooters building a dedicated competition rifle around a proven action footprint. Its role is not to be a complete stock assembly on its own, but to provide the rigid central chassis structure that defines the rifle’s handling, interface layout and accessory compatibility. For match shooters, that matters because the base chassis determines how well the rifle accepts support gear, how consistently it tracks, and how easily it can be configured around the shooter.

The chassis uses an aluminium construction and measures 683.00 mm in length, with a listed weight of 1360.00 g. In practice, that gives the rifle a solid foundation suited to positional shooting, where stability and balance are often more important than minimum carry weight. The Arca, M-Lok forend expands setup options for bipods, tripods, barricade accessories and added weights, while the XTN buttstock interface and compatibility with AR-15 style grips let the shooter tailor rear-end geometry and grip shape to preference.

MDT also specifies AICS magazine compatibility, which is useful for builders who want to stay within a common precision-rifle magazine standard. A maximum barrel diameter of 34.29 mm supports heavy-profile barrel configurations often chosen for competition rifles. Because this is a non-folding chassis intended for competition use, the emphasis stays on rigidity, accessory integration and a stable shooting platform rather than compact transport.

About MDT

MDT Sporting Goods was established in 2009 and began in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The company focuses on rifle chassis systems and related equipment for target shooting and hunting, with a product range that includes chassis, magazines, buttstocks and accessories as well as scope bases, bipods and rings. MDT identifies the TAC21 as its first chassis, which reflects how central chassis design has been to the brand from the start.

MDT’s development approach is closely tied to practical shooting use. The company states that its chassis, magazines and accessories are developed with input from competitive precision shooters, which is especially relevant in products such as the ACC Elite. That background helps explain MDT’s reputation for modular rifle platforms that prioritize fit, accessory integration and match-oriented handling rather than traditional stock design alone.
