Key Features & Benefits
-
Compact Bullpup Layout — The MDR’s bullpup configuration shortens overall length without sacrificing barrel length, giving you the ballistic advantages of a full-length .308 barrel in a much smaller platform. Ideal for confined environments, vehicle use, and dynamic shooting scenarios.
-
Chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62 NATO — Proven stopping power and excellent long-range potential make the MDR .308 an ideal choice for marksmen who want a compact rifle that still offers big-bore performance.
-
Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Finish — The FDE coating provides durable corrosion resistance and a professional tactical appearance that complements desert and arid operational environments.
-
Exceptional Ergonomics — Ambidextrous controls, adjustable cheek riser, and a well-balanced center of gravity make the MDR comfortable for rapid transitions and extended shooting sessions.
-
Modular, Multi-Caliber Capability — Desert Tech’s MDR platform supports caliber conversion kits (sold separately), allowing conversion to other compatible calibers without changing the lower receiver, making the rifle future-proof and highly adaptable.
-
Precision Barrel & Trigger — Match-grade barrel options and a crisp trigger deliver consistent groups and repeatable shot-to-shot performance, helping you get the most out of every round.
-
Enhanced Accessory Compatibility — Full-length top rail, M-LOK / Picatinny options, and multiple mounting points accommodate optics, lights, grips, and bipods for mission-specific customization.

Setup & Customization Tips (Non-actionable)
Maximize your MDR’s potential by pairing it with the right optics and accessories:

Use a stable shooting platform (bipod or rear bag) for precision sessions to fully exploit the .308’s accuracy potential.
-
Select muzzle devices and recoil management accessories that comply with local laws and reduce felt recoil for better follow-up accuracy.
Safety & Legal Notes
Safety and legal compliance are paramount. Always follow local, state, and federal laws when purchasing, transporting, and owning firearms.
