SOLD MPA Vanquish PMR Rifle, 6BR w/ Options for a turnkey set up

Fitz
Hello all, I won't be having time to shoot this year due to a small home business start up so I need to move this on to someone who can use it.

Full factory MPA build in excellent shape. It has only been to the range 2-3 times for some load dev.
  • Vanquish chassis in tungsten
  • MPA branded ARC CDG action
  • MPA barrel- 26", 6br, 1:7 twist with approx 120 rounds on it.
  • B&A (MPA branded) Tac-Sport Pro trigger
  • 1x magazine
$2300 delivered for the rifle alone, no accessories except for 1x magazine.


Can include the following items at an additional cost. I will not sell these separately until the rifle sells.
  • Chad TiNi brake w/ tuner- $400
  • MDT Ckyepod single pull w/ arch clamp and rubber feet- $400
  • Area 419 34mm 1x piece mount-$250
  • Leupold Mark 4HD 6-24 PR-2 mil/mil- $1100
  • SG Pulse level- $140
Total for the accessories- $2290

Total for the entire package- $4000 for a turnkey set up.

The buyer will also have the option to buy the Lapua brass I have for it.

Please check out my feedback, message with any questions. No trades please, like the MPA .22 I sold last month this money is being sunk into a small home business I have started which will be taking up all of my spare time this year.

Chaplins in Schools: An interesting concept... might have some merit!

My first thought was that chaplains tend to support the rah-rah fight and die for our country presentation that many of us see holes in as we have aged a bit. I like my pastor, and he is generally sound, but sometimes he seems a bit willfully blind to the reality many of his flock face every day. I am very aware of the innocence of my children and am hesitant to leave them to be influenced by a “true believer” without my input.

VS the current guidance counselor model?

You trust them less than that?

Well fuck... I think we know just what Klaus Schwab, the WEF, and the planners behind the 15-minute cities had been taking inspiration from...

Never been THAT heavily into the Half-Life universe and lore in the past but recently a great many YT documentaries have made uncanny connections between the game series' horrific occupying and ruling entity called the Combine to the apparatus behind modern technological totalitarianism. Launched in the early 2000s with add-ons over the years continuing on today, Half Life's creators really broke down the psychological means by which how a group of elites can have entire populations under their control and the intricate use of breaking peoples' wills and turning them against each other, while constantly relocating them so no one has the chance to form families and friendships. Very familiar with real world goings on...

I put @Makinchips208 first because I think thats the only real answer. First because public schools are indoctronation centers. "Sit still, shut up, do as we say." I hated school, not learning, but the way they did it. Children dont need to be sitting in a little wooden desk all day. In fact, public schlool in the rural south, made me hate for learning it took 30 years to get over.Then the anti Christ agenda they now push. And the assholes youre stuck with all day, a lot of them bullies or worse.

I was not in the military so I cant comment on @Hecouldgoalltheway 's post, but from what I've read of military chaplins, that might be a good avenue. Mature, vetted ones with real life experience, not young dikheads. As to Christians living a better life, I think thats dependent on a lot of factors. My experience in traveling the world has shown me that most people are basically good and kind. I'll leave it there as I'm not up for any long debates that never resolve anything.

Saved you for last @sirhrmechanic . You named one problem you would face, any 'Christian' will by default, end op trying to convert others. This is not a criticism, just an observation, but you'll always hear a variation of..."Yes you have problems, there are problems in the world, but there is salvation in Christ. You've got to turn your life over to Jesus." Right or wrong, thats religion and all that goes with it, and doesnt belong in 'public' gubmint funded schools. They are for STEM and some other liberal arts. If you want that teach them at home or send them to a private/parochial school.

Book learning is a small part of the equation What I think is important in one who councels, is first, empathy. Being able to sense and connect with another persons pain or confusion. Secondly, Having deep life experience to draw upon, having been through a lot of pain or suffering certainly can help provide that empathy. Third, knowing what questions to ask, and how to ask them.

Since we're talking Chaplins, enjoy Eric Burdon. Makes me feel old.

As Hecouldgoalltheway mentioned (and I mentioned in the first post) the model of the miliary chaplain is what I sort of had in mind. Definitely a very specialized type of person.

If I am not mistaken, one of the only religions that are not allowed to proselythise are the Sikh's. But a counselor of any faith 'should' be able to handle the role under the restriction that they not try and add sheep to the flock, so to speak. If you can't handle that... then you're not gonna set foot in a school!

Well, it's all theoretical right now. And what we have ain't working. So maybe try some creative stuff.... or maybe not!

Cheers,

Sirhr
