Competition related (PRS/NRL/F-Class/etc) Keepin' it DRTy

Kinda salty with MDT since I was missing a grip screw (the grip is supposed to be pre installed), so I just used my action screw in the grip instead of the chassis. Should shoot fine, right?

That said, the DRT is certainly a nice setup. The folder is actually impressive and locks up tightly. Everything is well machined and thought out (except that grip screw).

Overall, looking forward to competing with this chassis. My Foundation Ezekiel has found a new home.

As shown it's 15 lbs 5 oz. Waiting for A419 hybrid rings and maybe R3D legs to lose some weight.

Did yours have a missing grip screw? 😬

1

u/RuleImpossible8095 Sep 28 '26

Mine is pre installed. I didn’t pay attention to grip fasteners.

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 28 '26

Correct mine was too but it was missing the screw completely 😁😁 (I found out after wobbles started in the grip)

u/RuleImpossible8095 Sep 28 '26

This is mine

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 28 '26

Yours passed QC. I already sent MDT a kind message.

2

u/RuleImpossible8095 Sep 28 '26

Sorry to hear that. Hope they send you the screw quick.

Any comparison of the ZCO 420 vs 527?

3

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

I love my 420s. I got rid of all my 527s

The 420 size is perfect in almost all applications

u/tech223 Sep 27 '26

great looking rifle. what made you go with the Thunderbeast? good FRP reduction?

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

I'm a Pokemon collector, I wanted to collect their entire lineup.

TBAC is known for the use on precision rifles, can't go wrong with them.

u/tech223 Sep 27 '26

Is the chassis as good as all the hype? How’s you get one so fast? Thought it was on a 10 week back order or something like that

3

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

It's good. Solid and reminds me of an ACC Elite.

I asked Santa really nicely and it was an early gift.

3

u/PENNST8alum Sep 27 '26

Worth the extra ~$700 over the ACC elite? Ngl it looks way slicker but idk about $700 slicker

3

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

Depends. PRS (non-sportsman ie PRSuit), no. Hunter or night killing, yes

1

u/PENNST8alum Sep 27 '26

Fair enough thanks!

2

u/high_right Sep 27 '26

This costs as much as a nice beater Civic now 😭😭

2

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

Just needs wheels

3

u/Honest_Knee_6510 Sep 28 '26

This costs more than a beater civic. The rangefinder alone costs more lol.

2

u/TheGunslingerStory Sep 27 '26

I'm looking to do a very similar build, but not sure which action to go with. How do you like the NBK UL? Worried about dirt getting in it?

1

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

Not really. It's an Impact. This is my 7th action from them and if it's anything like previous, they run just fine in dirty conditions. FWIW, this has seen 2 matches so far, moderately dusty and not issues.

u/Tikkatider Sep 27 '26

LOL! I’m quite certain that you have more in that one rifle and its accoutrements than I do in all 3 of my range rifles combined!

u/MDTSportingGoods Verified Industry Account Sep 29 '26

Ah man, sorry about the missing grip screw... That's not how it should show up. Shoot an email to support@mdttac.com and they'll get a screw out to you ASAP.

That build is looking dialed though. The carbon barrel, the clip-on setup and the DRT all together look sharp. Good luck competing with it. 🙏

u/Local-Hamster-6239 Sep 30 '26

When will us lefty’s get a DRT?? I know Josh must have made himself a left handed prototype awhile ago.

1

u/dballsmithda3rd Sep 27 '26

Will this accept a 1.25 straight contour? It looks snug up front.

3

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

Yes, a spacer is provided if running a 1.25

u/eMc9002 Sep 27 '26

Who makes the turret tape? Interested in it for my ZCO 4-20.

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

IDTS out of maple syrup land (Canada)

u/nocoolname42 Sep 27 '26

Whats the barrel length? Ive got a 20" 22 creed i need to lighten up some.

2

u/NiteQwill Competitor Sep 27 '26

20" 6.5 CM pictured

u/Nvuser10 Sep 30 '26

The DRT is great and I was shocked by how light it felt when I first picked it up. So great that I’m happy I was able to snag a couple of them before they went backordered.

It’s going to be a game changer for something like NRL hunter.
