Next Generation Varminter

A lot of my varmint hunting customers are discovering some of the new calibers, stocks and chassis options that are available today. Many are traditionalists.

Long story short I'm going to be doing a new build for pdogs and I will be using a 6bra barrel on a Mack Bros action on an MPA Chassis with a Trigger tech Diamond trigger.

The 6bra will be for 85 Sierra Hp, 87vmax, 80 and 88 Berger varmint. I will post pictures and thoughts. Maybe others would like to discuss this idea.

I think I have come full circle, having started with wood stocked rifles in the 70s & 80s.
I think I put my first synthetic stock on my 22-250 in the middle to late 80s and then put one on a 30-06 a few years later. Then all of my rifles wore synthetic stocks.
Then a few years later I started to see that you could have a wood stock and have it shoot accurately also. A custom built with a beautiful laminated stock was ordered and then a few Coopers came along. There’s nothing like a pretty piece of wood, maybe even some blued steel. Oh, I still have some synthetic/stainless, though the pretty ones are more of a joy to carry in the field. Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses. LOL
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so you have to build and shoot what you enjoy.

For the record I totally agree!!

My varmint rigs and my elk rifle are dressed in wood. I have many synthetic stocks and none warm my heart.

With that said when my fat butt falls down the hill I'm hoping I brought the synthetic.

Chassis, and for that matter any stock with an aluminum bedding block has many advantages.

No gunsmithing. Just assemble and shoot.

If a person were to enjoy a wood stock I would simply say get an aluminum bedding block stock and enjoy many of the same benefits.

However, a chassis such as the MPA allows a PRS style tripod use as a build in... Something else I plan to explore.
