Thread: LH Chassis/stock for Tikka

@Pommy How do you rate the DPT Hunter vs the MDT? Which MDT did/do you have?

I don’t think they’re going to be making the Hunter chassis in LH anymore, which is a bugger

Did you do any conversions of RH chassis to LH?

I don't think DPT are making any of them any more. Last I heard the guy that made them at DPT left the country. So whatever they had remaining in stock was it.

The hunters are a short skinny chassis. The closest thing MDT do would be the original LSS. Mine's an LSS-XL Gen2 which is a bigger longer lump of metal that's probably meant for a different type of rifle e.g. competitions, hunting from a vehicle, off a tripod etc... rather than a proper lightweight setup. There's plenty of real estate up front for attachments on my MDT whereas the DPT gives you a sling stud.

Other than that, I had an HS3. A bit of a beast. Sold it and got a Boyds in stead as I wanted to switch the rifle to a hunting configuration. I've never converted a RH chassis to LH. Not a fan of that idea with how much they cost - I want it to fit without modification.

I'll be offloading a couple of DPT hunters and an R700 LSS soon-ish. I'm trying to make my safe a bit less tactical timmy and more traditional stocks are just suiting my style of shooting better these days.

@camenzie hadn't logged in for a while. Have done probably 15 conversions now. never had any issues. sing out if you want a chassis and will do the conversion too.

I have a left hand LSS chassis available if you're interested.

Sorry it is a MDT TAC 21 chassis, not LSS
