What makes the Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro stand out?
The Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro in 6mm Dasher is a serious piece of kit built for competition. From the moment you pick it up, you can feel the solid construction. The MPA BA Competition Chassis is a rigid platform, which is critical for consistent accuracy. It’s got a good balance to it, even with the heavier barrel. The tungsten finish isn’t just for looks; it offers a decent layer of protection against the elements, which matters if you’re shooting outdoors in Kansas weather. The 6mm Dasher cartridge itself is known for its ballistic efficiency and low recoil, making it a favorite among precision rifle shooters who want to stay on target for follow-up shots. The factory trigger on these is usually a TriggerTech, and those are crisp and predictable right out of the box. You’re getting a rifle that’s pretty much ready to hit the range and compete without needing a bunch of immediate upgrades.

Pros and Cons of the MPA PMR Pro 6mm Dasher
- ✅ Competition-Ready: This rifle is designed from the ground up for precision rifle series (PRS) and similar competitions. It’s not just a hunting rifle dressed up.
- ✅ 6mm Dasher Chambering: Excellent cartridge for long-range precision, known for its accuracy and consistency. It’s a handloader’s dream, too.
- ✅ MPA Chassis System: Highly adjustable for length of pull, comb height, and features a barricade stop and bag rider. You can really dial in your fit.
- ✅ Quality Components: Bartlein barrel blank (or similar), TriggerTech trigger, and MPA’s own action are all solid choices.
- ✅ Tungsten Cerakote Finish: Provides good corrosion and abrasion resistance, which is important for a rifle that sees regular use.
- ❌ Weight: At 12-14 lbs, it’s a heavy rifle. Not something you’d want to carry through the woods during deer season.
- ❌ Caliber Specificity: 6mm Dasher isn’t a common off-the-shelf cartridge, so you’ll likely be handloading or buying specialized ammunition.
- ❌ Price Point: This is a premium rifle for a specific purpose. It’s an investment, not a casual purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the effective range of a 6mm Dasher?
The 6mm Dasher is highly effective for precision shooting out to 1,000 yards and beyond, depending on bullet choice, barrel length, and shooter skill. It’s known for its ability to buck wind well.
Is the Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro 6mm Dasher legal in Kansas?
Yes, the Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro 6mm Dasher is a standard bolt-action rifle and is legal for purchase and ownership in Kansas for individuals who can legally possess firearms. As an FFL holder, I’ll handle the transfer in compliance with all state and federal laws.
What kind of maintenance does the MPA PMR Pro require?
Standard bolt-action rifle maintenance applies: regular barrel cleaning, ensuring the action is free of debris, and checking torque on action screws periodically. The Cerakote finish helps with external protection, but internal cleanliness is key for accuracy.
Can I use this rifle for hunting in Kansas?
While technically possible, the Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro 6mm Dasher is primarily designed for precision target shooting, not hunting. Its weight and caliber are not ideal for most Kansas hunting scenarios, especially for larger game like deer or elk where other calibers are more suitable and often required by regulation. For varmints, it would work, but it’s overkill.
What optics would you recommend for this rifle?
For a rifle like the MPA PMR Pro, you’ll want high-quality, high-magnification precision rifle optics. Brands like Nightforce, Vortex Razor HD, Leupold Mark 5HD, or Kahles are common choices among competitors. Look for scopes with ample elevation and windage adjustment, clear glass, and a good reticle for ranging and holdovers.
Does the rifle come with a muzzle brake?
Most Masterpiece Arms PMR Pro models come with a threaded barrel, and often include a muzzle brake or are ready for one. Specific configurations can vary, so check the detailed product specifications or contact us for confirmation on this particular model.
