The rifles both use the renowned Mayfair M98 action which is the worlds only hot drop hammer forged Mauser action. Each one takes a great many hours to complete and are hand produced individually by our skilled master craftsmen.
Ian Medwell, Managing Director of MPR adds, “These rifles are the first of their kind to incorporate aerospace engineering precision, blended with the time old skills of traditional English gun making and finishing. Each of the rifles are individually custom made to order.”
He goes on to say “The specially commissioned Mayfair Mauser action, with detachable magazine, had enabled us to take the Mauser action back to its origins: that of a practical precision rifle”
Ian and some of his team will be available on our stand at IWA to answer your questions.
Calibres available will be: 243 6.5 Creedmore .308 7mm Rem Mag 300-Win Mag
