[SHOT 2019] JP Enterprises MR19 Bolt Action
New for 2019 is the JP Enterprises MR19 Bolt Action Rifle. JP is no stranger to the precision rifle industry. On the contrary, they are one of the most well respected for making solid, reliable guns that shoot tiny groups.
This new offering from JP is built on an Ultimatum action with a sixty-degree short throw bolt lever. Typically when you hear sixty-degree bolt you immediately think heavy bolt lift, but JP has developed a
“50/50 cocking bias” into their system that keeps the bolt lift very manageable. The bolt face and barrel are interchangeable thereby allowing the user to change calibers quickly if needed.
The MR19 will be available initially in 6.5 Creedmoor and in 6mm Creedmoor. The barrels have cut rifling and come in 26-inch lengths with a one in eight twist rate. The forearm on the chassis has a full length arca swiss rail and a heat sink to keep the barrel temperature down during long strings of fire. The chassis features a side folding stock that locks up very tight.
The JP MR19 bolt action rifle will be available in the near future with a cost of $4999.00

I'd like to know what it weighs comparedto The Fix by Q.
I'd also like to know what the $1500 cost difference gets you, besides a barrel heatsink - especially considering The Fix comes with a Bartlein barrel.
Yeah, another $5,000 “tactic oil” bottle of snake oil, err, I meant high quality, precision rifle!
Where will the rip-off end? Apparently never because there must be plenty of suckers willing to spend their son’s car money on an over-priced rifle with even LESS practical civilian purpose than an AR fitted with a bump-stock AND a binary trigger!
Okay I ALMOST get the rave about the 6.5 Creedmoor...not really, but go along here. I think the 6.5 Grendel is still the better choice from a package standpoint.
What absolutely can NEVER see is forking over $5,000 for a small-bore rifle that’s struggling at 500 yards...WsTP? If I’m layin’ Out that kind of scratch It’s .338 Lapua all the way!
I can order a “sporting grade” Mossberg in 6.5 Creedmoor for $300. It comes with a great trigger, and good enough everything to make hits out to 1,000 yards, which is WAY beyond the 6.5’s proper performance limit for any reason other than bragging.
Come to think about it, before I pi$$ away 5 large on a .338 Lapua I’ll spend $300 on a MOSSY in .338 Win Mag which still ain’t no slouch at all when it comes to knocking holes through concrete piers at 100 meters, or reaching out for the win at 1,000 meters and more. Ninety-nine % of head-popping accuracy is in the cartridge not the gun - how the round is crafted for the job. I’ll take. Wal-mart grade rifle for $300 stoked with my Hand loads any day over an over-priced, over-heavy, cartoonishly proportioned urban commando wannabe that costs more than to remodel my kitchen!
