One feature optimized for nighttime use is the full-length NV rail. It has a 20-MOA cant to align with the scope. The mounting bridge offers ample space for clip-on night vision or thermal devices. The sides of the chassis also have MLOK slots for mounting lasers or other accessories.

Adding those imaging systems also adds a lot of weight to the firearm. To counteract this, MDT crafted the body of the chassis from magnesium. This is a lightweight but very strong material. The Arca mounting rail on the underside of the handguard is aluminum.

The DRT chassis system retails for $2249 and is available for order now for Remington 700 Short Action footprints in black or FDE.

From the manufacturer:

"Dead Right There. That's the only outcome you're hunting for tonight.

No wind. No distractions. Just the cold, dark night and the faint shape of a hog working the fence line two hundred yards out, its signature ghosting through your thermal. You've been sitting on this field for three hours, and your legs are stiff, but the rifle at your feet hasn't asked anything of you all night.

Get closer, and the ground turns to broken pasture and deadfall. A heavy rig punishes you here, every extra pound another reason to second-guess the stalk. The DRT doesn't. Magnesium construction keeps it light for the walk in, then locks down hard the second you settle into position. Fold it for the fence-line crossing. Drop into a tripod when the shot presents itself.

Behind the glass, the white heat washes in and everything else drops away. No noise. No stiff knees. Just the reticle and the shape moving through your scope. The DRT's NV bridge keeps your clip-on running true to that reticle, so the crosshair and the signature are always tracking on the same spot. There's no guessing here. You settle the shot, and you send it.

Dead Right There. Every time."
