MasterPiece Arms (MPA) has been in the business of making great bolt action rifles and chassis systems for years. They’ve just announced their latest addition to their line of chassis rifles – the Pork Chop rifle. This is a purpose-designed rifle for varmint hunters, ranchers, and those who need a rifle for herd management purposes. With the Pork Chop, MPA says that shooters can achieve longer shots with a rifle that can be comfortably packed into the most extreme terrain.

Pork Chop Anyone? MasterPiece Arms New Purpose Built Varmint Gun

The Pork Chop rifle is built upon the MPA Hybrid Chassis. The rifle is then customized with a special Cerakote paint scheme which comes in several variations and covers both the barreled action and the chassis. Custom Cerakote jobs are also being offered as an extra add-on for those who want a truly unique varmint gun.
