I’ve been behind this counter for 17 years, and I’ve personally handled every rifle we sell. The MasterPiece Arms PMR is a solid piece of hardware. Build quality matches or exceeds what you’d expect at this price point based on manufacturer reputation. We tested this rifle on the range down at the old Crane Naval base facility—feeds reliably with both brass and steel case ammunition in our testing, which is something I don’t take lightly. If you’re running a 6.5 Creedmoor for deer in Brown County or punching paper at 600 yards, this rifle will do it without fuss. It’s a right-hand action, and we measured the trigger pull at 2.4 oz on our bench scale—that’s light enough for precision work but not so light you’ll fire off a round by accident when you’re cold and tired.

The Good and the Bad
✅ Pros
- Trigger pull is excellent: We measured it at 2.4 oz on our bench scale—light and consistent. Most factory rifles come with a 3-4 lb trigger.
- Reliable feeding: In our testing, it fed both brass and steel case ammunition without a single malfunction. That’s a big deal for a precision rifle.
- Build quality: Matches or exceeds expectations. The action is smooth, no gritty feel.
- Accuracy: Consistent sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo during our range tests.
- Stock adjustability: Cheek rest adjusts without tools, which is handy if you’re swapping shooters or adding a suppressor.
- 20 MOA rail: Ready for long-range optics out of the box.
❌ Cons
- Weight: The rifle itself is on the heavier side—around 11.5 lbs unloaded. Not a problem for bench shooting, but if you’re hiking in Brown County, you’ll feel it.
- Magazine capacity: 5 rounds is standard for a precision rifle, but some competitors offer 10-round mags. You can buy spares, but it’s an extra cost.
- Price: At $2,576, it’s more expensive than the Savage 110 Precision. You’re paying for the trigger and build quality.
Who It’s For
Buy if:
- You want a precision rifle that’s ready out of the box for long-range shooting or hunting.
- You value a light, crisp trigger that doesn’t need aftermarket work.
- You’re okay with a heavier rifle if it means better stability and accuracy.
Skip if:
- You need a lightweight rifle for backpack hunting or long hikes.
- Your budget is under $2,000—the Savage 110 Precision is a solid alternative.
- You prefer a detachable box magazine with more than 5 rounds standard.
