Continuing to move out of my .308 calibers to pursue PRS w 6MM and VARMINT hunting w 223 caliber.
I’ve decided to sell my .308 MPR (or trade) to a .223 MPR. This is the only trade I would consider The MPR is my favorite field rifle so I want to stay in the MPR system. I would definitely consider a 223 MPR on a trade if it was carbon fiber like what we are selling here.

The .308 MPR I have here is a laser w Hornady factory ammo. I’ve shot multiple 3-leaf clovers with these rounds as well as factory AMAX and standard ELDS. The rifle is just amazing and I would be willing to do a FACETIME from my loading bench if a potential buyer wanted to see the rifle up close. It comes with an Aluminum 2-shot quiver by HOLT which is awesome for a field gun. It’s so nice to have 2 rounds on a forearm. :)

The gun can’t have more than 100 -200 rounds on it. The gun came with ejection issues out of the box, but I sent it to factory and they told me the bolt was out of spec, (occasionally the fired brass would be dropped prematurely and before it made it out of the ejection port) they fixed it and it has not had an ejection issue since then. It breaks my heart to let this rifle go, it shoots light out, and after going through all the trouble with factory and getting the rifle to be so dependable it breaks my heart to let it go but.I just prefer the 223 caliber for my applications

I consider this BETTER THAN A NEW RIFLE. it’s proven, it’s tuned by a factory gunsmith. Expect the best shooter, I say it’s blessed because It shoots clovers w factory ammo.

Price would be $1900 shipped to a FFL

Didn't mean to come across as doubting you, I was only offering the information that it came in a 20" model as well. I've really enjoyed this rifle.

Oh I wasn’t insulted, I wanted to be sure of the length for my own good. and figured if posted a pic then that would make everyone sure of themselves.

Someone inquired about that ballhead

It’s a Manfrotto 468MG

I had a very heavy desert tech with nightvision and needed something that can handle 25+ pounds, I ended up with two. One for me and my buddy

Hah, ty for the vote of confidence. I think folks underestimate carbon fiber or they are scared of it. I like them for hunting rifles and I have a 6.5CM carbon wrapper that absolutely smashes plates out to 1000 yards and it doesn’t get hot or walk around like the stories I hear.

I might kill the sale of this rifle and hold on to it for deer rifle and just get the 223 for dogs.. Wish a .223 would come up for sale, in fact I’ll post a WTB now for one. Haha

I love the CFW barrels but I do have a couple that walk. I’ve never read where anyone else had issues but have never searched it either… all my .308’s are fine, .325 fine, 6.5prc and CM fine, 7RM fine, but my .300wsm and .300 NM both start walking at round 4 and get crazy after that.. all carbon fiber wrapped.
 
I found a Op willing to part with his .223 MPR for $1,600 so I’m whacking price of this .308 to $1,600. That would finish this exercise .
