MPA Ultralite or Hybrid

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Looking to build a folding chassis varmint rifle. Don't want to wait 6 months for an XLR. Thinking MPA Ultralite or Hybrid. Would like gun under 9.5#. When adding optic (NX8 or Vudu), I want a 12# or less rifle.

Pairing with my Terminus Zeus Action and a Carbon fiber 6mm Dasher and 8.6 BLK barrels. Going with Dasher to be a light weight version of my comp rifle. I have a ton of brass and ammo. Any recommendations between the 2 chassis.

The kicker is I am a lefty. Not many chassis companies make lefty folders. I guess the MDT is an option but $1600 for a chassis seems a little steep.

Ultralite is a good weight. Is it missing in the options? Just a little worried the Hybrid might be too heavy. But positive for that, I could use it on my PRS action if I wanted to ditch the Foundation stock I put with it.

I’m not a lefty but I really like the ultralight.
Prefer it over the XLR version.
The MDT is awesome and worth the $$ imo but is too light if you have much weight in the barrel.

I would say if you need the options get the hybrid if not get the ultralite the ultralite seems really light do you have the barrel and stuff?

Have the barrels ordered. The 6mm barrel is about 3# and the action is 36oz. Ultra lite folder is 3.2#. Add muzzle device and it will be a good weight for a hunting rifle.

Yeah looks good plus your optic and rings….so what made you choose the zues over the valor?

CS Tactical has short action XLR element MGs in stock. Just bought one last week, and I like it quite a bit

Terminus had one in stock! It was a coin flip.
