Is there any gun more enjoyable to shoot than a rimfire? Rimfires are fantastic for plinking and target practice but also have practical applications like teaching new shooters, hunting size-appropriate pests, and competition. The Masterpiece Arms Rimfire rifle line is made for competition but also provides a shooting platform for everyone. There are two guns in the line, the Matrix Pro and the ESR Chassis, and each gun is designed to exacting specifications.

Masterpiece Arms provides details of their rimfires:

Masterpiece Arms builds World Class Rifles. We start with our industry leading Chassis System, utilize the Best Actions and Triggers produced, and our MPA/Spencer 416R Handlapped Barrels provide some the best shooting, most accurate rifles in existence. Designed, Built and Enhanced by Long Range Shooters and Hunters, our Rifles fulfill the needs of the most discerning shooters.

The Matrix Pro Rimfire Rifle is a combination of our…Competition Chassis, the Matrix Pro, along with an MPA/Curtis Action chambered for rimfire applications.

Available in a multitude of barrel profiles and muzzle threads, the rifle is setup specifically for PRS/NRL rimfire competitions.

The rifle will come standard with an ATS Barrel Tuner, along with a custom thread protector.

Because this rifle uses a standard Curtis Short Action “Action”, it can be converted over to a center fire rifle with the purchase of a centerfire bolt, barrel and magazine.

The barrel will use barrel nut system, giving the shooter the ability to adjust headspace, which can vary depending on the ammo being used by the shooter.

The chamber in this rifle is setup primarily for Lapua/SK ammo and other ammo with similar bullet profiles. We also have the ability to chamber the rifle in other configurations based on the ammo you prefer to run.
