In the pursuit of precision rifle shooting excellence, MDT introduces the Elite Bag Rider, an accessory engineered to offer shooters a consistent and stable rear support. This addition is no mere afterthought; it’s a carefully crafted solution that addresses one of the most subtle yet impactful aspects of marksmanship: rear bag interaction.

Crafted from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a robust black anodized coating, the Elite Bag Rider is built to endure rigorous use. Its V-shaped cradle ensures the rear bag stays perfectly centered, while the approximately ⅞-inch-long forward and backward adjustment slot allows for precise positioning to suit various shooting styles and conditions.

Shooters can select between a flat model, ideal for maintaining a linear recoil path, or a 3-degree angled variant designed to mitigate muzzle rise, providing tailored control depending on the discipline or terrain faced.

The design also prioritizes smoothness—all edges and corners are rounded to prevent snagging, promoting a seamless recoil cycle and helping maintain reticle stability for tighter shot groups downrange.

Compatible with MDT’s M-LOK buttstocks like the ACC Elite, ACC Premier, STS and Oryx, the Elite Bag Rider fits effortlessly into an existing MDT setup, making it a subtle but impactful upgrade for serious precision rifle shooters.

At an MSRP of $59.99, this component is a solid choice for rifle shooters seeking incremental improvements in control and consistency on the field or in competition. Go to mdttac.com to learn more.
