Any input? Do any of you own one? Are you happy with it?

Stepping up from the Grendel? I am curious on what the recoil is like on the CM. As you know I cannot do to much recoil.

Yes but just for really long range fun for about about a dollar a shot vs what it costs for 338 LM and 50 bmg. Less recoil than a 308, but the rifle I'm looking at weighs 12.5 lbs and has a big ass brake on it.

I have played with the MPA rifles at a local gun shop for the last two years. They're a little rich for me, but damn they are nice.

I really like their grip, with the knuckle rest so that you can only physically move the tip of your finger when pulling the trigger. I also really line their stock and all of the adjustments.

I can't speak for how they shoot, but the feel of their rifles and attention to detail are amazing.

edit

I don't have their rifle, but I do have one of their chassis, the MPA BA chassis, absolutely love it...the fit and finish is excellent, and it flat out works...Only issue I have heard about MPA is it takes time to get shit from them if they don't have it in stock..I have heard Core Shooting is the best place to get stuff from if MPA doesn't have it in stock..

My rifle is a R-700 in 300rum....

I'll second that you should order from a vendor.  There's some new old stock out there so verify that you're buying a rifle with latest upgrades (RAT rail system, New level with new mounting system, MDT magazine, etc).

The chassis is very popular and modular.  Phil has done some cool stuff as far as that goes and listening to shooter feedback.   Their rifles seems to mostly be shooters out of the ones that they do the barrel work on.

Thank all of you for the replies. I am excited. I may buy one.

I manage a gun store. I have one in stock and can buy at cost.

Its a great company

Thank you especially for your input

At the price point they appear to be a great deal. I am looking to rebuild a bolt action right now and I keep going back and forth between a rebuild or just buying the MPA rifle.

OP, they have lots of choices, including anything new can be refitted to an older chassis, but here is what I have found to be worth the have...First do the bag rider instead of the monopod unless you really like monopods, I find a rear bag to be more steady...Next, do the spigot mount..it really helps getting the bipod out there further, I did mine with the Swiss-Arca mount instead of a picatinny rail(An NC atlas screws right onto their Swiss-Arca plate as well)...which means the bipod can go right from the spigot and right onto the Swiss-Arca rail machined into the chassis...If you use a magneto speed, they have a mount for it as well, with or without a silencer...They have a new cheekrest that can be adjusted side to side instead of just up and down..I need to get this and their new action locks screws with the new posi lock washer setup.. Depending on which action and what magazine lengths are available, make sure you get the right mag tabs for any you might want to run..for my long action Remington I have all 3 for the 3.715, 3.775 & 3.850CIP mags...I also use MPA's one piece scope mount..very impressed with it as well and it is very light and very well made..no issue with hot 300 rum recoil and holding a heavy ass razor 4.5-27-56 scope with zero movement..And the last thing I can think of, one of the barricade stops is a must have if you ever shoot off anything other then a bipod or bench...Those are the accessories I found most useful....

Their rat mount with a NC PRS bolted straight to it...

Wow! thank you!

Don't have one, but those are some nice looking rifles.

I was in the same boat.  Bought an action and was looking at barrels.

A buddy had an older MPA.  I shot it and liked it.

Just shot mine for the first time yesterday.
Mine is a 6.5cm with the Curtis action. Shot 140 ELD's( which it's chambered for) into one hole at a 100. The Chassis is very ergonomic and extremely well built. The action is slicker than cat shit and fed out of the suplied Pmag like butter.

Also had a couple questions about the action and the owner of Curtis called me and sent video to help... it was about 9:30 on a Friday night. That to me is a guy who stands behind his product, and doesn't abandon his customer after the sale.
Priced where it's at and combined with that kind of performance you can see why they are gaining popularity fast.

Buy with confidence

In a heavy gun like a MPA 6.5 very little
@Yarael

Great company. Lots of innovation and always upgrading. Regardless of what the action or build is, i WILL have a competition rid in an MPA chassis one day. Soon. Ish.

What mags for the 6.5 do you suggest? Binder or no binder?

I like MDT mags, but pmags will work too.

I load Berger hybrids to 2.88 so I can just scrape by with a binder plate.

It’s the best value in precision rifles IMO. I may buy one in 6.5 Creedmoor to shoot production class PRS next year. The triggertech special is one of the best triggers(short of the Diamond) on the market. Curtis action (Axiom clone) will take shouldered prefit barrels if you ever want to change caliber and upgrade. The MPA brakes are BRUTAL to shoot next to, but effective in reducing recoil.

any thoughts on the rifle for the PRS production class?
