Feedback for HNT 26 for a long range rifle?

Ive also had a thought. Some company should make aftermarket cheek weld/ butt part. This my setup, rokstok ish. But needs a better toe and the adjustable pad its a heavy tank.

I have mine set up the exact way. It is heavier, but for training purposes its great. Adds a bit of weight opposite the heavier barrel and suppressor. A light version of an adjustable butt pad would be sweet.

Yea, it works a lot better. I'm gonna drill a bunch of holes in the adjustable part and give it some dremel love to lighten it up. The obi pad is the golden ticket, I recommend that upgrade. I also have the sma recoil kit on order. Mine is accurate but I think its a good idea. Side note now the plastic mag feeds better with the jb weld addition.

I have had mine for about 2 years now and I have about 800 rounds through my 6.5 Saum with it. Over all it's a great chassis for hunting but there are some bad that comes with the good. First the ARCA is undersized. This is a universal issue and it's likely due to how the mold is made. The second issue is I broke the forend of the chassis almost immediately and it happened through recoil. Mine started to develop cracks even with the screws hand tight. I will say I think they have resolved this issue as the new forends noticeably feel thicker and they are no longer putting torque warning stickers on them. The aluminum part of my chassis has/had cerakote issues. After one we hunt the cerakote started to pit. Not the end of the world as I will get it re sprayed but for some that could be something they don't want to deal with.

Overall, it's still a solid and very light set up. I beat the hell out of my rifles and I have shot this rifle out to over a mile on my range. For it being a sub 10lb hunting rifle it shoots how you would expect any chassis gun to shoot. I do have custom butt pad height and cant spacer I am about to put on mine to allow the rifle to be fit better and it ads less the 4oz to the overall set up.

3 screw. This is one of the first ones that came off the line. I have not personally seen a 5 screw version and I have built up about a dozen of these.

If anyone’s factory HNT-26 recoil pad is laying around collecting dust I’d like to take it off your hands!

You can use a MPA ultralite recoil pad, it's the same bolt spacing and they're better than the MDTs

Struggling to find that, I’m looking for something that’s an ounce or two lighter than the standard pad on a ACC chassis.

You can always try the backfire recoil pad, I have one ... I think it's stupid expensive for what it is but it is lightweight. I wouldn't use it on a magnum unless you have an aggressive brake or suppressor.

Backstop Recoil Pad

The Backstop recoil pad is a revolutionary design that is customized to your own rifle's recoil level. It comes with the "throne" protector for storage and has a unique dampening profile. Backstops are made to fit nearly every rifle style.

This will be on a suppressed 16lb 6.5CM. Recoil is not an issue. Staying under NRL Hunter weight limit might be though. May go bare metal ha.

Have a friend with a 3d printer make you a few in TPU80/85. It'll work and weight nothing but it won't last.
