ORYX Sportsman Chassis Setup Guide

If you're considering or have already bought an ORYX Sportsman Rifle Chassis, we're going to demonstrate how to properly set one up to get consistent, accurate shots.
The full-length aluminum chassis with v-block inlet allows you to manage recoil better than a factory rifle stock. In order or maximize your potential, you need to adjust the chassis to fit your body type.
This video first covers adjusting the length of pull (LOP) of the buttstock with the spacer kit. This allows you to get consistent placement of the chassis in your arm.
Second, the video covers the video shows how to set up the cheek riser to ensure you get a correct and consistent sight picture while looking through the scope every time you get behind your rifle. We also go through the benefits of having a toolless adjustment.

Excellent product .... first class video

[@OryxChassis]

Thank you so much!

[@DavidCobb-uc4qr]

I have owned my Oryx chassis for several years now. I lost my cheek riser due to my own fault. I contacted Oryx/MDT with my problem. They sent a new cheek riser to me free. No charge for the riser or shipping. May not mean much to some yet to me it represents everything good in the gun community.

[@Juliang61]

Great informational video!!! Very simple and effective, thanks!!

[@lagoonrd4173]

Just ordered one from optics planet

[@eggbert191]

Will the field stock use the same spacer kit? Can't wait to get my hands on one

[@OryxChassis]

It isn't confirmed at this time, but it will likely be a separate spacer setup.

[@jamesbrannon4857]

Prospective buyers should be made aware that cleaning from the breech on some rifles mounted to this chassis is not possible unless the chassis is partially disassembled or a flexible cleaning rod is used. Also, the MDT AI mag I bought with the chassis fit so tightly that I had to dremel the proud areas on the magazine in order to be able to use it. Other than that, it is a fine product.

[@MDTTAC]

Yes, to clean the barrel from the breach side, you will need to do either. What magazine did you purchase?

[@jamesbrannon4857]

@MDTTAC , From Optics Planet, and MDT marked AI mag for 308. That is also where I bought the chassis. The mag well was scuffed up when it arrived, leading me to suspect the chassis was previously bought and then returned. The problem with the tight fit of the magazine makes this seem even more likely. I was under the impression that the chassis came with the necessary (long) Allen wrenches to install. As well as a recoil lug. These items were absent. When I brought this to the attention of O.P., they said they would check with you. A day or so later I heard back from O.P. and they told me that you said the wrenches and recoil lug are not included with the purchase. My mistake, I guess.

[@MDTTAC]

@@jamesbrannon4857 Do you know which specific magazine? We make them in polymer, polymetal, and steel. We don't include the tools and in most versions, you re-use your factory lug.

[@jamesbrannon4857]

308/6.5 CREEDMOOR MDT METAL AICS MAGAZINE - 10 RND (Without Plate).

[@jamesbrannon4857]

I should add that once I polished/grinded down the proud areas, the magazine worked flawlessly.

[@benbowditch9265]

Yo, I love my ORYX! But I was wondering "why no simple stick on pads for the cheek risers?" I made some out of 1/4" Neoprene foam and some double-sided gorilla tape.. Hand cut is most certainly not as clean as you guys could make them with cnc machines. Also kinda sad that theirs only tow options for the pistol inlet :( I have four Remmy 783's that'd be fun little bing bangs.

[@OryxChassis]

Thank you for the feedback; you can check out our parent company MDT Elite cheek piece mdttac.com/mdt-elite-cheek-piece/ which will work and has neoprene foam on it. We may add more pistol chassis inlets in the future!

[@ronws2007]

I did not realize that MDT had those pads. I see they are now on back order. You can get sorbethane cheek pads from Goda Grip (ships from Florida.) Mike is a super nice guy. Since I did not realize MDT had those and I have used Goda Grip on other rifles, I put one on my Oryx, which holds my TC Compass II .308 Win. My Mossberg Patriot is in an MDT chassis, the LSS Gen 2 with folding sock adapter and SCS buttstock. I like the Oryx so much because it is streamlined and light. Essentially, you set up LOP and cheek rise for your most common shooting position and then it is ready to go. Lately I have been thinking about getting the new 7 mm PRC and the next thing I did was look at the Oryx site to make sure they had one in long action for the inlet I was looking at. Tech tip, if you have a .300 Win Mag, you can actually swap barrels. It is using the same action you have for .300 WM and 7 mm RM.

[@peterp1143]

can you use these stocks to hunt and shoot free hand or only bench with bipod? I hunt coyotes with tripod when set up to call them but sometimes need to take free hand shots when walking in.

[@MDTTAC]

You can use these chassis systems for both competition and hunting.

[@peterp1143]

@@MDTTAC a bit heavy at 4.2 pounds for walk and gun. Would be nice if it was a pound or 2 lighter.

[@kyleramynke2710]

What bipod are you using and how is it mounted?

[@OryxChassis]

We use a wide variety, but typically an MDT CKYE Pod mounted to a sling stud.

[@chuckglasser9683]

Do you recommend thread lock for the install?

[@MDTTAC]

You can if you want to, but it is not needed. If you do apply thread locking compound, make sure to reduce your final torque specs by 20%.

[@furfeelings]

Does anyone know what size recoil lug will fit with this chassis? I was going to order an aftermarket trued lug that's thicker and need to know if it'll fit.

[@MDTTAC]

It depends on the inlet, but most can go up to .375" thick.

[@furfeelings]

@@MDTTAC Thank you!

[@HenryNummerdor-ex8ri]

Hardware included?

[@ManningTheOutdoors]

Do you offer military pricing/discount?

[@texanderson3262]

Yes they do! You just have to email their support team off the website oryxchassis.com/

[@douaher9646]

Oryx chassis fit browning a-bolt 7mm?

[@MDTTAC]

We currently do not offer a chassis for your rifle.

[@brianstratton2522]

Do they make it in left handed?

[@texanderson3262]

Yup, here's the link to check out the available options - oryxchassis.com/oryx-sportsman-precision-rifle-chassis-left-handed/

[@robertpuckett7201]

I got the stock and had issues. It has a hidden screw in the back of the trigger guard that was impossible to tighten properly. It had a lot more felt recoil than expected. It did not improve my groups, and you have to take the cheekpiece off to clean it.

[@goosecouple]

Arca rail not integrated ?

[@texanderson3262]

It's not integrated, but a full-length ARCA rail is available to add on - oryxchassis.com/oryx-chassis-arca-rail-full-forend-length/

[@mannycali334]

Is it free floating?

[@OryxChassis]

Sure is!

[@flipflop8989]

Do they make one for a 700 ADL

[@felixrochajr83]

Its going to CONVERT your ADL into mag fed.
