Bergara LRP?

Review: https://www.americanhunter.org/artic...ion-rifle-mpr/

MSRP is 2295. Unfortunately nobody seems to be selling this thing so it might be real tough to find for under two grand.

That is pretty cool, but very light. Weight is not always a bad thing.

[sigstroker]

The weight doesn't worry me much. I'm not in CA so a silencer works pretty well as a muzzle brake.

Sig, check out Alamo Precision rifles. They have a "production" rifle they make. It's a built up rifle by them, but I believe they warranty their rifles too.

I happened across the Masterpiece Arms site. While they are a respected manufacturer in the precision shooting world, I first heard of them because of the crappy little M11/9 clones they make. That's not to say they do a crappy job of cloning, the M11/9 is a crappy pistol to begin with. It's not so bad as a machine gun, but it's a turd as a pistol. It's hilarious that MPA manufactures both these product lines.

Anyway, I notice they have this Evolution service. They take your barreled action, stick on a new barrel, true it, shave it, wave a dead chicken over it, etc, etc and wahlah, you has a custom built rifle. In their top line competition chassis it costs.....

$1850!!

They have slightly less magnificent chassis that are as low as $1650! Since I happen to have a couple perfectly fine Savage model 12's lying around, complete with varmint-grade Accutriggers, I find myself actually considering going that route.

BTW the MPA chassis is the second most popular stock/chassis among PRS pros.

You live in a free state, posted about getting a rifle and you still haven't bought one?

Some of us would've bought 2 more by now, and a hand gun due to the lack of 10-day wait.

That is something I consider a much better value. That's all I was trying to get across in my first post in this thread.

[sigstroker]

A couple important points - for one, they are a manufacturer. I have more confidence in them still being around and in business 5 years from now than Ernie the Rifle Wrangler.

Secondly, no Remington required. They do Savages.

Thirdly, their chassis prices are on their website for all to see. I can see the value I'm getting. OTOH all my barrel needs is threading for a silencer so I could just buy one of their chassis and slap my action in myself.

[sigstroker]

Wow, this thing looks like a relative bargain.

http://www.kygunco.com/Product/View?ItemNo=123290

Under 2200 bucks. It's built on a Kelbly Atlas Tactical action, which is a thousand bucks just by itself. The chassis sells for $700 alone. This thing has way more than $2200 in it just in parts. Of course I can't possibly make the best use of all this high zoot stuff, but I have trouble resisting a huge bargain...

I'm really glad I can't put my hands on it and fondle it, or I'd be done for, for sure.

Bergara LRP?

so now after you basically bashing customs and remington your starting to realize that there are better deals out there than outta the box rifles for just a few more bucks?

funny...a lot of ppl tried to tell you this but your hard hardheadedness and hate for remington made you not want to hear it....at least your doing YOUR OWN research and figuring things out for yourself which is a good thing.

this looks like the same rifle same specs just with the better chassis...i dont know why its a $1000 bucks more...im assuming because Kentucky gun is a dealer and gets a break on pricing.

https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-6-5ba-creedmoor-bolt-action-rifle/

and just an FYI the BA lite chassis is a fantastic chassis but it is just what it says...LITE...2.9lbs...its got some flex to it...i have fondled one and didnt like it personally but thats not to say you wont.

the kelbly is a fantastic action but its not thousands its $999 direct from kelbly... https://www.kelbly.com/actions-steel...-tactical.html and me pointing this out is not an attempt to bash or discredit you so dont take it that way...my point is JUST LIKE IN MY OTHER POSTS you can build or have built a WAY better riffle than any outta the box factory rifle for VERY close to the same.

look back at post #40...that rifle was $2825 minus scope rings and bipod....

And this is why ppl pay for customs...
850yds...the black square is 1”....

Wow

TS Customs (a very good gunsmith) posted on another forum that he could put together a custom rifle with the following...

-6.5CM Benchmark Barrel with contour of your choice
-Lone Peak Arms Razor Action (has integrated lug and a pinned 20 MOA base)
-Threaded Muzzle with a self trimming brake (or just threads for a can)
-Trigger Tech Trigger
-KRG Bravo Chassis

All for $2550. That's a hell of a value.

Wat? You contradict yourself in the same post. You say how great Remingtons are then you admit the one I posted about is a Kelbly. It may look a little like a Remington on the outside, but it is a LONG way from being a Remington.

You say I'm wrong about the price when I said it was a thousand bucks, and then you say it's $999.

And this pic points out to me a huge waste. All that's needed is a hit anywhere on it. You get bupkis extra for that small group.

Why would I want to do that? I can buy the above MPA for less money, and I don't have to care who built it. Ten years from now I can still send it back to MPA if I need to, and they will have someone fix it. I don't care who that is either.

It also come with a .5 moa guarantee, which is far more than I need or can use.

I was simply pointing out the value of getting a custom vs your original Bergara. You can buy what ever your heart desires.
