New ORYX Chassis Systems for Rem, Savage, Ruger Long Actions

Here’s some good news for owners of long-action rifles that want to convert to a modular chassis system. MDT now offers the ORYX Chassis System for three popular long action platforms: Remington 700 LA CIP, and the Savage LA CIP, and Ruger American LA. These chassis systems start at $549.99 at MDTtac.com. Four colors (for polymer components) are offered: Black, Flat Dark Earth (FDE), Olive Drab Green (ODG), and Gray. Shown below is the Remington Long Action version in FDE.

The ORYX is an aluminum chassis built to bring factory rifles closer to a precision setup. The action is bedded on a V-block and the barrel is free-floated. The buttstock adjusts for both length of pull and cheek height, allowing the shooter to customize the rifle ergonomics to suit his preferences. And the ORYX takes AR-15 compatible grips, allowing the owner to easily customize his rig.

The ORYX chassis accepts AICS pattern magazines and AR15 pattern grips, carries M-LOK on the underside of the forend for bipods and accessories, and includes an integrated barricade stop for positional shooting. These long action ORYX chassis systems are offered in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Olive Drab Green, and Gray.

The ORYX LA chassis systems with long action inlets cover most chamberings used in factory field and hunting rifles. The ORYX is built for the shooter who wants bedded, free-floated accuracy and a stock with good ergonomics, without moving to a custom action.

The ORYX chassis systems for the Ruger American LA RH, Remington 700 LA CIP RH, and Savage LA CIP RH are currently available (as of 9/22/26) through MDT dealers and at MDTtac.com.

Be Smart, Be Safe — Seven Key Tips for Reloading Safety

You can never be too safe when hand-loading your own ammunition. This article outlines the Seven Fundamental Reloading Safety Tips, as explained by Brownells. This is important information for novice hand-loaders and a good refresher for those with reloading experience! The Ulimate Reloader video below has some specific tips on loading hunting ammo, as it’s now hunting season throughout much of the nation.

Summary of the Seven Safety Tips:

1. Do NOT mix powders. Keep your powders clearly marked and dated. You can use masking tape to write the date on the container.

2. Check cases frequently. Look for split necks, case head separation or other signs of fatigue and excessive pressure.

3. Store your reloading supplies in a safe and dry location, away from children and away from any possible source of ignition. It is also smart to keep your powder and primers separate.

2. Get and use respected reloading manuals, especially for new cartridges. Start low and work up slowly while watching for warning signs of pressure and/or case fatigue.

5. Make sure you cannot be distracted when reloading. Turn off your phone. If you get interrupted, stop. (Distractions will eventually lead to mistakes.)

6. Make sure your ammo headspaces properly in each gun if you load the same cartridge type for different firearms. Even with the same cartridge, different guns may require different loads.

7. If reloading military brass, be aware that case capacity is usually reduced, and initial loads should be at least 10-15% lower than published data.

Here are some other tips that will help your avoid making costly mistakes (such as using the wrong powder, or undercharging a case):

Powder Type — Always double-check the label on your powder containers. After placing powder in the powder measure, put a piece of tape on the measure with the powder type written on it. Some guys write the powder type on a card and place that right in the hopper.
Scale Drift — Electronic balances can drift. If you are using a digital powder scale, calibrate the scale with a test weight every 50 rounds or so.
Case Fill — If you throw more than one charge at a time, look INSIDE every case before seating a bullet. Squib charges can be dangerous if you don’t notice them before firing the next round.
Progressive Presses — When using a progressive press, consider using an RCBS Lock-Out Die. This will detect a low charge and stop the machine. These dies will work with RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon progressives.

Good Dewey Aluminum Jags Eliminate False Positives on Patches

Conventional brass jags work great — except for one thing. They can react to solvents, leaving a blue “false positive” on patches. In recent years, jag-makers have experimented with many different materials in an effort to cure the solvent-reaction problem. Today we have polymer jags, nickel-plated jags, and stainless steel jags. And the latest innovation is the aluminum jag from Dewey.

J. Dewey Mfg. offers a series of “Copper Eliminator” jags and brush adapters made from aircraft-grade aluminum with the same hardness as brass. Dewey claims that its aluminum jags will not become embedded with grit or particles that could harm your bore. At the same time, Dewey’s aluminum jags will not react to ammoniated bore solvents that can turn patches blue green when used with brass jags. Dewey aluminum jags are offered with either male OR female 8/32 threads.

The $5.25 Dewey aluminum jags and $3.70 brush adapters are offered in a wide variety of calibers. You can order these products from Dewey Mfg. or Brownells.
