Built around a lightweight, rigid chassis and a 27-inch threaded, carbon-fiber wrapped barrel, this configuration blends mountain-ready portability with ELR-class performance. A Black Nitride metal finish increases durability in harsh conditions, while the Desert Brown anodized side-folding stock folds for storage/transport and adjusts for a perfect fit behind the rifle. The result is a modern bolt gun that carries light, tracks true, and delivers the downrange authority the .338 Lapua Mag is famous for.
Why Shooters Choose the MPR in .338 Lapua Mag
ELR-Capable Ballistics: The .338 Lapua Mag offers high muzzle energy and flat trajectories that stretch effective range for steel or big game (where legal).
27" Carbon-Fiber Barrel: Carbon wrap reduces weight and helps manage heat while the longer 27-inch length squeezes velocity from heavy, high-BC bullets.
Threaded Muzzle (Brake/Suppressor Ready): Run a brake to tame recoil or a suppressor (where legal) to reduce blast and improve shot tracking.
Folding, Desert Brown Stock: Side-folding for compact carry; adjustable geometry supports repeatable cheek weld and eye alignment.
Black Nitride Metalwork: Corrosion resistance and low-glare durability suited for field, match, or duty environments.

Real-World Performance Advantages
Long-Range Consistency: The 27" tube stabilizes 250–300 gr class projectiles for consistent external ballistics at extended distances.
Manageable Recoil Options: Threaded muzzle lets you add a directional brake or suppressor (where lawful) to reduce recoil and keep sights on target.
Portable Precision: Carbon-fiber barrel and skeletonized chassis cut pounds, making it easier to hike, haul, and shoot prone in remote terrain.
Fit for You: Adjustable folding stock means you can dial-in LOP/cheek for fast sight picture and reduced shooter input—key for tight groups.
Weather-Ready: Black Nitride finish fights rust and abrasion; anodized chassis shrugs off bumps, dust, and field abuse.
Ideal Use Cases
ELR/Long-Range Steel: Push heavy bullets into the 1,000–1,500+ yard envelope with quality optics and dope.
Western & Mountain Hunts (Where Legal): Long shots across canyons or open basins—power and reach when conditions demand it.
Precision Training & Duty: Durable, repeatable platform for serious shooters who require top-tier performance.
Setup Tips (Maximize Your MPR)
Optic Pairing: Choose a robust scope with ample travel (e.g., 4–20x or 5–25x) and a reliable first-focal-plane reticle with 0.1 mil or ¼ MOA adjustments.
Mounting: Use quality rings/one-piece mount; consider a canted base if you’re pushing ELR distances. Torque to spec and verify eye relief in prone.
Muzzle Device: For best recoil control, time a directional brake correctly; for suppressed shooting (where legal), confirm thread pitch and manufacturer guidance.
Ammo Selection: Test multiple loads—many shooters like 250–300 gr high-BC bullets for balance of drop, drift, and terminal effects.
Zero & Dope: Zero at 100 yards and true your solver at real distance (e.g., 800–1,400 yards) for precise holds.
Maintenance & Care
Bore Care: Use a bore guide and quality rods/solvents to manage carbon and copper; allow the carbon-wrapped barrel to cool naturally.
Exterior Protection: Wipe the Black Nitride surfaces after wet/dusty outings; apply light oil film as needed.
Hardware Checks: Periodically recheck action screws, stock adjustments, and scope mount torque—especially after travel or large temperature swings.
Safety & Compliance
Know the Law: Threaded muzzles, suppressors, transport, and hunting regs vary. Follow all local, state, and federal rules.
Safe Handling: Treat every firearm as loaded; keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger until on target.
Secure Storage: Use a locking case or safe; store ammunition separately as required.
