MPA Rifle? Thoughts or experiences

[camelcluch]

Have any of you used the MPA hunting rifle? Seems like a decent deal on paper. How is the action? Real world weight? Anybody change barrels? Thanks.

I’ve had a couple of them, and still have a an Ultralight Hunter which gets shot quite often. It’s chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s fairly light considering it‘s a chassis rifle. I ordered it with an 18” Proof barrel and a mounted a Nightforce NX-8 4-32 on it. I’ve hunted with it a decent amount down here in Texas. It’s pretty accurate. It’ll put 5 130 Accubonds into 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch consistently.

Any specific questions on them other than that?

Thanks for the info. I don’t think I have any other questions. I just saw them and thought it was a decent value. Just trying to get all the info I can.

If you're looking at that price point and are concerned about weight, seems like a Seekins Element would be appropriate. I don't doubt that MPA makes good stuff though, they're pretty well known.

I would probably own a Seekins by now but no lefties.
