Desert Tech upgraded its MDR bullpup-rifle lineup in 2020 with its all-new MDRX. This new rifle features enhanced polymer construction, an upgraded trigger and an improved gas block. The rifle is also available in several new chamberings not seen before in the MDR lineup, such as the 6.5 Creedmoor and 300 BLK. The rifle also features a side-ejecting port that eliminates half a pound of weight from the gun.

For all the details on this new release from Desert Tech, check out our American Rifleman First Look video above.
