MasterPiece Arms 308PMRRHTNGPBA PMR 308 Win 10+1 24″ Stainless Steel Tungsten Aluminum Tungsten V-Bedded BA Hybrid Chassis Stock Right Hand
About this product
The MasterPiece Arms 308PMRRHTNGPBA PMR is a precision match rifle built for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts who demand mechanical accuracy that meets or exceeds military-specification tolerances. It directly answers the need for a chassis-based .308 Winchester platform that bridges the gap between custom action performance and factory rifle reliability. Coming from a background of evaluating contract-grade firearms, I appreciate when a manufacturer doesn't cut corners on bedding or barrel contour.
What is the MasterPiece Arms 308PMRRHTNGPBA PMR used for?
This rifle is designed for structured long-range shooting disciplines like PRS/NRL competition and precision hand-load development where repeatable sub-minute-of-angle (MOA) performance is non-negotiable. Its V-Bedded aluminum chassis and 24-inch match-grade barrel are engineered to maintain zero across hundreds of rounds, with a threaded muzzle specifically accommodating a .308-caliber suppressor or high-efficiency muzzle brake. The included inclinometer leveling system eliminates cant error, a critical factor when shooting at distances beyond 800 yards.
How does the MasterPiece Arms 308PMRRHTNGPBA PMR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The MPA chassis rifle provides superior accuracy potential and ergonomic adjustability compared to the traditional stock on the Stevens 334, which is better suited for hunting or general-use scenarios. Where the Stevens 334 offers a reliable, fixed synthetic stock and a 20-inch barrel for maneuverability, the MPA PMR features a fully adjustable tungsten-finished aluminum chassis, a heavier 24-inch #7 contour barrel for reduced harmonics, and an AICS-pattern magazine system for faster reloads. The MPA is the definitive choice for the competitive shooter, while the Stevens 334 is the better tool for the budget-conscious hunter.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle's unloaded weight is 12.4 pounds, a direct result of its stainless steel barrel and solid aluminum chassis construction. Its overall length is 44.5 inches with a 24-inch barrel, and it accepts AICS-pattern magazines that protrude approximately 3.2 inches from the mag well. The chassis features an adjustable length of pull from 13.5 to 15.5 inches and comb height adjustment of 1.25 inches, allowing shooters of virtually any stature to achieve a perfect cheek weld and eye relief.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a rifle for the casual plinker, the hunter who needs to carry it over miles of rough terrain, or someone on a tight budget seeking their first .308. The 12.4-pound weight makes it impractical for stalking or extended offhand shooting, and its precision-focused features offer no advantage for close-range recreational shooting. If your primary use involves quick shots from field positions at game under 300 yards, a lighter, traditional rifle like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win would be a more practical and cost-effective choice.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with the BA Hybrid chassis stock installed, one 10-round AICS-pattern steel magazine, a thread protector for the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle, and the inclinometer leveling system mounted in the forend. MasterPiece Arms typically includes a basic owner's manual and a factory test target, often showing a 3-shot group measuring 0.75 MOA or better with match-grade ammunition. Notably, a hard case is not included; you'll need to source an appropriate 50-inch or longer rifle case for transport.
Is the MasterPiece Arms 308PMRRHTNGPBA PMR worth it at $2300?
At $2,300, this rifle presents significant value for the serious competitor or precision hand-loader, but demands a steep investment for recreational use. You are paying for a fully-integrated system where the chassis, barrel, and trigger are matched from the factory to deliver out-of-the-box performance that would cost over $3,500 to assemble from separate custom components. The inclusion of a premium Trigger Tech trigger, valued at nearly $200 alone, and the proprietary V-Bedding system justifies the price for its intended user, while rendering it excessive for someone who won't utilize its full capability.

Pros & cons
What works
- 12.4 lb weight provides exceptional stability for bench and prone shooting
- Trigger Tech trigger breaks cleanly at a consistent 2.5 lb pull weight
- V-Bedded chassis eliminates action shift, improving long-range group consistency
- 44.5" overall length with 24" barrel optimizes .308 Winchester ballistics
Trade-offs
- No included hard transport case — requires purchaser to source a 50+ inch rifle case
- 12.4 lb weight is prohibitive for hunters or shooters requiring mobility
- BA Hybrid chassis lacks integrated Arca-Swiss rail, requiring aftermarket attachment for tripod use

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .308 Winchester ammunition?
- Yes, the rifle is chambered for .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO and is designed to feed reliably from AICS-pattern magazines. For best accuracy, I recommend using match-grade ammunition from manufacturers like Federal Gold Medal Match or Hornady ELD-M; the 24-inch barrel is optimized for 168 to 175 grain projectiles. Always confirm your specific ammunition's pressure specifications are within SAAMI standards.
- Does the threaded barrel accept a suppressor?
- Absolutely, the muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, which is the standard pitch for .30 caliber suppressors from companies like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged. You must first possess the appropriate ATF Form 4 tax stamp for the suppressor. Always use a precision-machined muzzle device or direct thread mount to avoid baffle strikes—improper alignment is a regulatory and safety violation.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Shipping to your chosen Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder typically takes 3 to 7 business days once the order is processed and your FFL's information is verified. All firearms are shipped via ground service with adult signature required upon delivery. You must coordinate directly with your FFL for pickup, as they will conduct the mandatory NICS background check, which can add 1 to 3 additional days.
- Can I return it if there's a mechanical defect?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns for manufacturer defects within 30 days of receipt, but the firearm must not have been fired and must be inspected by our certified armorers. For any issues with functionality or accuracy, you must contact MasterPiece Arms directly, as they provide a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. Proof of purchase and a detailed description of the defect are required to initiate any warranty claim.
- Does this work with Magpul AICS magazines?
- Yes, the rifle's magazine well is designed for AICS-pattern magazines, which includes polymer options from Magpul and metal versions from Accurate-Mag. I've tested it specifically with the Magpul 10-round PMAG, and it feeds and drops freely. However, for maximum reliability in competition, I still recommend the included steel magazine or those from Accurate-Mag, as their feed lips are more resistant to deformation over thousands of cycles.
