    MDT LSS Questions


    Sure there are plenty of posts. But can't search 'mdt' or 'lss'

    So. I have a long action, bottom bolt release & detachable mag.

    Looking at the LSS or LSS XL

    I have a full varmint profile 26" barrel the rifle is pretty front heavy, how are these for shooting off a bipod?

    These use AICS mags? No other mods needed, just drop in the chassis and good to go?

    Any other info would be appreciated.

    I can answer some of these questions.

    I have a 260 built using an LSS chassis. Personally, I wish I could extend the bipod out a little further, but the LSS does work. I use this rifle long range hunting. Shooting off a bipod with one isn't bad. Make sure you select a good stock, like the magpul prs stock, or at a minimum, the xlr tactical butstock. These do use AICS magazines, and you won't have to modify the magazine any further.
    They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

    Isn't the LSS-XL for longer barrels? That would put your bipod further out?

    Yes, the end of the XL is longer so it balances the longer and heavier profile barrels better. However, I ran a 26 inch heavy varmint barrel on an LSS and it was decent off of a bench. Field conditions I can't speak to.

    I prefer the xl with a longer barrel but the lss for me is very capable. I am always toying around the idea of chopping the barrel length so it’s good to have flexibility

    My wife runs an XL on her PRS gun and we bought a BA Stealth as a backup which as you know has a standard LSS chassis and being able to feel and see the two side by side, there is a big difference in balance, feel and usability of the bi-pod (especially PRS style shooting). If I were to suggest one or the other it would be the XL all day. It is definitely worth the extra money

    The LSS is stupid short. I would not recommend it for a 26". I just finished the below for a custom with a 26" bull. He insisted on the LSS chassis, against my advise on being front heavy, not to mention the shortened placement of the bipod.

    Yes, they accept standard AICS style mags.
