MDT Hnt26 diy buttpad above centerline mod

[Choot]

. I haven’t tried to get them super tight, just snugged them down good and mine haven’t given me any issues. If you used the epoxy to just glue the nut down instead of filling the surrounding void I can see how that could break free. The instamoph fills in the surrounding void and locks it in so it can’t spin. Jb weld would probably work good to. Once my instamorph set up I did tack it in there with a dab of superglue just so it wouldn’t fall out.

I'm about to do this. To confirm, you're using 4 screws now? Two screws that came with the stock to attach the spacer that's aligned at the original height and the two new screws to attach the offset/raised spacer where the buttpad goes?

Correct

Nice, I have a bag full of HNT26 butt pads and spacers. Will be trying this out.

3.4 oz w/ hardware vs 7.8 oz for the metal MDT adjustable pad. 4.4 oz savings. Not a bad way to save a quarter lb off your HNT 26 and make it way more shootable than factory.

I hated shooting it without the adjustable pad, but couldn’t justify keeping it on for sheep hunting. This mod makes the recoil impulse straight back, like the Rokstok, making it far easier to spot impacts even with the 223 in the chassis.

Seeing as how the height should be more less the same for any action in an HNT26, what height did you use there? 3/4"?

Let’s call it 9/16”. I’m in Manila at the moment, otherwise I’d measure it for ya. It was just an eyeball job, as I pretty much knew where I liked the adjustable pad at.

Can someone tell me the benefits of this? Im fairly new to chassis and have a hnt 26 on a tikka 6.5prc. Is this more beneficial for prone or bench? Does it mitigate recoil? I have some extra spacers and this mod looks pretty easy.

By getting the butt pad up higher the intent is for the recoil impulse to be closer to the resulting reaction on your shoulder. This should reduce the amount of muzzle rise and make it easier to spot impacts.

I did this mod to my ACC premier and can’t wait to get it out to shoot.

It is ironic I’m doing this lightweight modification on a 16# gun…I’m up against the weight limit for NRL & have to compromise in areas to make weight
