About this product
The Masterpiece Arms MPA PMR Tungsten 6GT 26″ is a competition-grade bolt-action precision rifle designed for PRS and long-range target shooting built on a billet aluminum chassis with a hand-lapped 416R stainless steel barrel. This specific configuration chambered in 6GT offers exceptional ballistic consistency and minimal recoil impulse for competitive shooters who demand repeatable mechanical precision under timed fire scenarios. The rifle ships with an Accurate Mag 10-round magazine and features full adjustability for length of pull, cheek weld, and recoil pad position to accommodate various shooter physiques and positional requirements.
What is the Masterpiece Arms MPA PMR Tungsten 6GT used for?
This rifle is engineered specifically for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competition and long-range target shooting where sub-MOA accuracy and rapid follow-up shots are mandatory. The 6GT cartridge delivers flat trajectories with minimal recoil, while the 26-inch barrel length optimizes velocity for targets beyond 1000 yards. The adjustable chassis allows for consistent shouldering and cheek weld across barricades, prone, and kneeling positions common in modern practical rifle matches.
How does the Masterpiece Arms MPA PMR Tungsten compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The MPA PMR outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in every precision metric, with a 0.5 MOA guarantee versus the Stevens' 1.5 MOA factory claim, though at three times the price. Where the Stevens 334 serves adequately for hunting and casual range use, the MPA chassis system provides tool-less adjustments for length of pull (13.5-14.5 inches) and cheek height that the fixed synthetic stock on the Stevens lacks entirely. For competition shooting, the MPA's Trigger Tech Special trigger (1-3 lb adjustable pull) offers a crisp break that the Stevens' basic trigger cannot match for speed or consistency.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 14.2 pounds unloaded, with an overall length of 46 inches including the 26-inch barrel and folded adjustable stock. The BA Competition chassis measures 2.5 inches wide at the forend to accommodate ARCA rails for bipods and bags, while the action maintains a 1.25-inch diameter for consistent bedding in the aluminum chassis. The weight distribution places 60% of mass forward of the trigger guard to mitigate muzzle rise during rapid strings of fire.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for hunters needing lightweight portability or shooters seeking a multi-role defensive firearm. The 14.2-pound weight makes it impractical for carrying over terrain, and the 26-inch barrel length creates handling issues in confined spaces. Anyone prioritizing budget over performance should consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win which delivers hunting-capable accuracy at one-third the cost, though without competition-grade features.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one Accurate Mag 10-round steel magazine, an adjustable cheek riser with 0.75 inches of vertical travel, and a recoil plate with five positions for length of pull adjustment between 13.5 and 14.5 inches. No optic, bipod, or muzzle device is included—expect to add another $2000+ for a competitive scope and mounting system. The chassis arrives with pre-installed M-Lok slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions but no rail sections or accessories beyond the magazine.
Is the Masterpiece Arms MPA PMR Tungsten worth it at $2236.99?
At $2236.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for serious competitors who would otherwise spend $4000+ building a custom precision rifle from components. The included Trigger Tech Special trigger alone retails for $225, while the billet aluminum chassis would cost $900 if purchased separately. For PRS shooters needing sub-MOA accuracy and rapid adjustability between stages, this represents one of the most cost-effective complete rifles on the market that doesn't require gunsmith fitting.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the MPA PMR uses standard AICS pattern magazines—the included Accurate Mag 10-round unit is AICS-spec. Both metal and polymer AICS magazines from brands like MDT or Accurate-Mag function reliably, though metal magazines provide better feeding consistency during rapid bolt manipulation.
- Does it fit in a standard 50-inch rifle case?
- No, the 46-inch overall length requires a case at least 48 inches internally to accommodate the barrel and folded stock. Pelican 1750 cases (49.5" interior) work perfectly, while most 46-inch cases will compress the foam excessively against the muzzle crown.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana typically take 7-10 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight for firearms. All rifles ship within 2 business days of cleared payment, with tracking provided immediately upon label creation. Expect FFL verification to add 24-48 hours to the process.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired rifles only—once fired, Masterpiece Arms requires you work through their accuracy guarantee process directly. They will replace any barrel not achieving sub-MOA with match ammunition, but shipping costs for barrel replacement are the owner's responsibility after initial purchase.
- Does this work with a Dead Air Nomad suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8-24 muzzle threads accept any .30 caliber suppressor including the Dead Air Nomad (25.5 oz). The 6GT cartridge generates low backpressure, making it ideal for suppressed shooting—expect a 28-decibel reduction at the shooter's ear with subsonic loads.
