Is that “miss” only because you didn’t like the sound the MPR action made/feel of the action?
Yes. I have not fired it hoping it will make returning it easier, though it probably won't matter whether I shoot it or not, it's far less value now that I've opened the box and stupidly took it home from the shop. Their incomplete machining job was laughed at by my go-to gunsmith.
CA can't or won't fix it, they ran the bolt when I sent it to their factory and - get this - have actually told me to I need use plenty of grease and hold pressure on the bolt handle differently so it doesn't rub as much, which means they have acknowledged its not right. I have been patient and courteous with them, it was going well but now they conclude with this insulting answer. On a $400 rifle, maybe, but not on a premium "precision" rifle. There is very little precision in the way this action was machined; why should I trust the chambering, extractor, or any other part of the construction?
I can't imagine what my gunsmith's reaction will be when I tell him they said to add more grease and be more careful when I cycle the bolt. "Congratulations and nice choice on your $2200 precision rifle - just be careful, we didn't have time to build it right, so try a few different ways to hold the bolt handle and bite gently on your cheek when you cycle it."
No more CA for me - there is way too much competition out there for me to accept this joke of a rifle for their price. I now have a barrel and chassis for sale, and maybe I can get $1.50 for the scrap value of the receiver and bolt.
Quite a few shooters I have talked with since buying this rifle have said CA used to be good but pressure to produce volume has wrecked them. Someone above also said they have developed a hit-or-miss reputation.
I sure don't mean to insult any CA owners; if you got a "hit" - great for you. I got a "miss".
