MPA has packaged these items together to offer tremendous value on the “Competition Ready” package for precision-rifle competitions.

The chassis also includes a built-in inclinometer, thumb notch, lower mounted Picatinny rail, 20-MOA scope rail, A2-style pistol grip and is also R.A.T.-system compatible. The MPA buttstock comes with an adjustable cheek riser and length of pull that is locked in position with a system similar to the thumb wheels used in the Standard BA Chassis..

Available in 26-inch lengths for 6.5 mm and 6 mm and 24-inch lengths for .308 Win. M24 barrel profiles, the MPA BA PMR “Competition Ready” Rifle includes an EVG Grip, MPA DN3 muzzle brake and X-Caliber hand-lapped 416R stainless-steel premium barrel blank with a polished barrel finish.

We hear you (pun intended)! This year, we are reporting manufacturer’s sound-reduction rating where available. Now, not every manufacturer makes that information publicly available, so you’ll see a fair number of “N/As” where no decibel-reduction numbers were provided, but rest assured that, despite what you might think, the noise-reduction rating is one of the least important factors when choosing a new suppressor (more on that in a future article).
