I was looking at getting a Tikka TAC A1 but I'm now thinking I'll save up a bit more and go for this rifle. Does anyone have an idea of if Cabela's will stock or special order it? Got my club points + got some late Christmas present Cabela's gift cards to use.
(Apologies to EuroOptic who started the tread and made me aware of this,I'd buy from them if I didn't have $400+ in Cabela's points & cards to help reduce out of pocket costs)
I broke my 22” Creed in with winchester Match 140’s and Hornady Black 140’s and both were shooting 1/2 MOA @100 yds.
I picked up my 22" 6.5 Creedmoor today that I ordered from Euro Optic, and found a few boxes of factory Federal Gold Medal 130gr Berger ammo on the way back. With a borrowed S&B 5-25 from another rifle put 20 rounds through it zeroing and shot 3x 5 round groups.
Initial impressions, it's a very nice rifle and IMO a phenomenal value. Everything is smooth on it and well fit. I'll be honest I wasn't expecting much out of a "semi custom" grade chassis rifle with a carbon barrel for a tick over $2K but I'm impressed. The trigger is very nice (although I'lll probably switch it for a 2 stage), breaks around 3.5lbs, very crisp and I love the flat shoe. Action is very smooth, feeding, extraction, and ejection was smooth and positive for the 20 rounds I shot. The muzzle brake is very effective, I shot it without removing any of the tuning plugs and recoil was extremely mild. The chassis is well done, the adjustments all work as they should, the folder locks up tight and is smooth to operate. The forend has a little flex as you would probably expect but nothing substantial or enough to come in contact with the barrel.
Only 20 rounds so far with one type of factory ammo but the gun seems very accurate. Zeroing and shooting I could certainly see accuracy improving both from getting a few rounds on the gun and me learning grip and finger position. The first 5 round group after zeroing was rather unimpressive but group #2 and #3 both tightened up nice to just over 1/2moa. Groups were mostly horizontal which I expected due to the 20+mph wind gusts we're having.
I'll shoot some more tomorrow and hopefully wind will cooperate a little more but so far I'm very satisfied with the rifle and it far exceeds my expectations. I foresee this rifle wearing a TBAC Ultra 7 and a NF 4-16x42 and taking a lot of critters. If the rifle performs how I believe it will I see myself taking it to some local matches either.
Thanks for the review. I was saving up for one of these but the Nucleus release kind of ruined those plans. I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy one of these for a hunting rifle, or just wait till the chassis is offered and put my own build in it.
Quick question: I notice the bold handle is swept like a R700. If it were straight, do you see any potential issues with the folding stock? I'm trying to figure out what actions would be compatible with it.
Thanks.
I have been looking at this MPR and the Tikka T3x Tac A1, I think it looks great and would buy this over the Tikka, but I am concerned with stuff I have read about the company's quality control issues in the past.

How does the action compare to other customs? Are they custom level or does it feel more like a 700?
Yep, same problem here!Dang, just when I thought my mind was settled on my next rifle this happens. I want to get my hands on one to try out.
Does anyone know when the 6.5 PRC will be available?
When I had inquired about ordering one in 6.5CM they told me the lead time was about 12 weeks. I'd suspect the 6.5 PRC is at least that much. They are very responsive to email though so I'd just drop them a note and see what they say.
I've had to back off plans for ordering one but with their announcements I was torn between 6.5 CM and PRC. I have a 7mm mag for larger game hunting so the MPR would be a 95% target and 5% deer rifle, so CM would likely be better choice. Going with 6.5 PRC might be good enough for Elk. A 300 NM would definitely take care of elk but I'm not sure I want to spend $4 every trigger pull and deal with the recoil. Maybe I just need a lotto ticket win and I can get one in 6.5CM and one in 300 NM with a big ass brake.

I've been fantasizing about a AMG on top, not sure if I'd use a Spuhr or another mount?
I did consider the night force ultra light uni-mount or their rings?My plans had included an AMG but just mounted with rings as it seems counter to the approach of the "light" MPR to add unnecessary weight from a unimount vs just rings. But the weight difference in the Spuhr @ 7.8oz vs the Vortex matched rings at 2.1oz is 5.6 oz and I doubt I'd notice that difference.

I got a deal on one today and picked up a 22" Creedmoor. I really like this rifle and hope it shoots like the ones on here. The markings on the adjustable stock and cheek piece are a nice touch. The cheek piece on mine was loose. I had to remove the 3 screws that hold it on, remove the locktite and reinstall. I don't know if I will be able to shoot it this weekend, but I'll report back when I do.
A deal is in under MSRP? Already on a recently announced rifle? Nice! I'm still working on liquidating others to be able to get the MPR in 24" 6.5. love seeing pics and interested to hear how it shoots.
What scope are you putting on it?
I wasn't aware of the markings on there. That's a nice touch and good attention to detail.
They don't have that gritty, rough and clanky feeling that most 700's do if that's what you're wondering. It feels like a quality nitrided 700 style action, not sure how else to describe it. It's got a little more clearance than your typical Defiance which feels very tight to me. It's got a good fit, not sure how to describe it but may sorta like a Surgeon?
I doubt anyone is going to be disappointed by the feel of the action.
This may be a dumb question, but I'm really interested in purchasing this rifle in the 22" 6.5CM. I like the idea of it being light and portable but have a few concerns. The biggest question, would this be a suitable rifle to shoot a PRS event with? I have never shot one, but am interested in doing so. I am also undecided on optic options. I like the Vortex Razor GenII 4.5-27 but I know its heavy. I'm also considering the new Eotech Vudu 5-25 thats coming out because of the lighter weight and compactness of it. And the NF ATACR is also a serious contender, falling in the middle, weight wise. I want the setup to be multipurpose; match shooting (completely new to me), target shooting to distance (farther than my .308), and hunting. Please educate me.
Hate to say it but I was not impressed with the action I felt at dsc. it was really loose with a lot of slop imo. My horizon rebarrel feels much better
