Looking at this rifle for my 300prc. My other rifles are Tikka, but I don’t think a 300prc is possible in a tikka from what I’ve read. So here I am searching for something new. The MPA seems like a great deal, especially with the discount you can get on them. Anyone have experience with them? Am I better off spending more on something different? I plan to top it with the RS1.2 just like my other rifles.

The mixture of ultralight and 300 PRC don't go together very well.
Great to carry - miserable to shoot.
No experience with this particular rifle though.

Just saw the backfire episode talking to tikka guys and they reckon 300prc fits in a sako of some description.
Might be an option if you wanna keep it in the tikka/sako family.

What does 300 prc do for you that 300wsm or wm don't?
Only asking because it just seems like a lot more recoil for minimal gain and it seems like youd probably prefer a tikka.

As for mpa chassis themselves, I had a hybrid chassis, Bloody fantastic, Heavy/prs inspired desing but not as bad as some other options. Quality option for sure.

As the other two have hinted at, without knowing what the application of the firearm will be, it is hard to give alternative opinions.

However, if you are just looking for confirmation that the MPA PMR Ultra Lite Hunter is a good platform, I have only shot one and have seen 2 or 3 used at a couple of PRS matches that I volunteered at. They seem well suited to that game. The one that I shot was only for 5 rounds, but it was pretty much "no muss, no fuss" in that it performed pretty much exactly as I expected a rifle set up for PRS would. The one I shot was a Hunter Comp, BTW.

As I said, I can't answer the "Would I be better spending my money elsewhere" question without knowing what your plans are for the rifle.

This one will be used for elk hunting and a couple shooting courses that I’m going to attend in 2027. The main purpose is hunting though. I’m wanting something that’ll shoot the heavier bullets 180-215ish and shoot flat. I should also say that I’ll want the barrel to be 20-22” since I’ll run a suppressor 100% of the time.
