Bolt action rifle shooters should understand the difference between push feed bolt actions and controlled round feed bolt actions. If you are operating a controlled round feed bolt action (CRF) you should always load the chamber by cycling cartridges into the chamber from the magazine. Do not direct load a cartridge into the chamber by hand, then close the bolt over the cartridge case head. This stresses the extractor. If it is not an emergency situation, do not do it.

As a safety measure, if you are using a bolt action rifle with the fine trigger, do your movements and transports with an empty chamber. In shooting position, keep your bolt handle fully raised as a mechanical safety until you have determined the need to fire.

D&L MR-30 PG - Precision Bolt Action Rifles

Now available in calibers from 6mm through .338 Lapua in compact, standard size, and long range models.

A two rifle concept for the tactical marksman is taught at for one reason. It Works. The MR-30 PG is the longer range half of the concept.

The MR-30 PG rifle package was developed for the most discriminating precision marksman after decades of research, testing, and development by Dave Lauck and other professionals. This rifle is not an attempt at duplicating any other rifle, it was designed from the ground up as the most rugged, repeatable, and accurate precision field rifle available anywhere.

One of the most popular chamberings for this package is .308 Winchester. There are several reasons for this chambering: accurate factory loaded match grade ammunition, a factory loaded bonded core tactical round applicable for barrier penetration with minimal fragmentation and a similar close range trajectory to the match load, long accurate barrel life, minimal recoil, acceptable trajectory pattern for the moderate ranges commonly encountered during tactical operations in a civilian environment. .308 Winchester has long been established as a proven accuracy cartridge. Other chamberings are popular too: 6mm, 6.5mm, .338 LM.

The MR-30 PG rifle system is completed on a new DLS Signature or magnum action in the caliber of choice. The actions used have been selected for their reliability, accuracy, and overall quality. Total weight and length of the completed rifle depends on customer request, selected options, and barrel contour. The expected use environment should be a consideration when requesting an approximate weight. Weight range is normally 7 - 27 pounds. A stout rifle is ultra stable in the field and the MR-30 PG's optional rugged carry handle makes the system quite portable. The full length (Operator removable) carry handle also provides excellent scope protection and an area for camo and accessory attachment. Lightweight MR-30 rifles are available with no handle.

Cost was not a major consideration in determining what components were selected to develop the MR-30 rifle. Components were selected based solely on their ability to achieve the overall goal of the system: a superbly rugged and accurate field rifle. Cost of the finest components used in the MR-30 PG, as well as the substantial meticulous labor involved in handcrafting individual rifles, add up to an expensive rifle package. There are lower cost accuracy packages for shooters that do not require the extreme durability and precise repeatable accuracy this system delivers. Those of you who have been behind the rifle in critical situations already know there is no substitute for having the very best. Informed administrations are also aware of the liability exposure which results from fielding less than state of the art equipment.

A sample of an aluminum stocked MR-30 PG, after 30 days of continuous intense testing and evaluation in rugged conditions, maintained repeatable accuracy to the point of being able to win First Place in the International Tactical Rifleman’s Championships, the Carlos Hathcock Shootoff and the Golden Egg Shoot. The EGG Shoot consisted of dialing in a cold shot at 500 yards and making a hit on a chicken egg sized target with a single shot. Numerous other precision shoot offs have been won with this state of the art rifle, including numerous entries into the One Mile Club, which requires hitting an 11" x 16" target at 1800 yards. More MR-30 PG rifles than any other types combined have made entry into the OMC. The D&L MR30PG rifle won 1st place in the 2019 international sniper competition in Bulgaria.

Features included in the MR-30 Professional Grade rifle system:

• Complete accurizing of a new select rifle action in the caliber of choice.
• A heavy duty bolt handle and body are used for reliable operation in the harshest of conditions.
• The extractor and ejector are polished and fitted for reliable function.
• The bolt body is vented. In the unlikely event of a pierced primer, high pressure gases can be vented away from the shooter.
• Proper striker springs installed for reliable ignition.
• New trigger group installed and tested for safety and reliability at a reasonable pull weight. The trigger group is finished for corrosion resistance.
• The recoil lug is an ultra rugged integral steel lug, over twice the size of the common factory lug. This adds increased surface area and rigidity to the system.
• The finest precision barrel is fitted to the select receiver, a premium stainless steel barrel. The chamber and throat are specifically cut, and the barrel specifically rifled (twisted) for the cartridge and bullet being fired. 18"-30" barrels are common lengths. It has enough weight to shoot extremely well off the bipod or front rest. (Support under the rear if the stock is also recommended for best performance.) The muzzle can feature a recessed and protected precision crown or muzzle brake. Muzzle brakes are recommended for magnum cartridge barrels.
• The select actions use a rigid bolt stop.
• The MR-30 PG is corrosion protected by a special finishing process following the machine work. Carbon steel parts can be finished in matte hard chrome. Over coatings are applied to add color or camo to stainless steel. Under extreme field conditions, where the outer surface may be cut through, the hard chrome or stainless steel underneath will still be in place to resist corrosion. Scope rings can be treated with the same process. Matte black scopes are recommended. (Coating scopes can dry the O-rings and is not recommended.) On a camouflage rifle, the rings can be camouflaged to break up the black scope lines and/or the scope camo taped.
• The stock is fully adjustable for length of pull and cheek piece height. This allows for the rifle to be fitted to the individual shooter or compensate for cold/hot weather clothing. The butt features an effective recoil pad. The stock is over finished, similar to the barreled action.
• The stock design for the MR-30 PG is truly state of the art for the professional tactical marksman.
• It sets the standard in field durability. No wood, kevlar, or fiberglass is used. No action bedding to go bad or internal bedding blocks to come loose from a composite material. The D & L Tactical stock is a rigid aluminum system.
• The stock design allows for substantial free float clearance between the barrel and the forearm. The troublesome internal magazine has been eliminated and replaced with a reliable DBM (detachable box magazine). The MR30PG rifle has an integrated, selective magazine lock feature to avoid losing the detachable box magazine from the rifle under field conditions. (Note: The magazine lock should be in the 'unlocked' position to eject magazines from the rifle, and while inserting magazines into the rifle).
• The stock features an ambidextrous pistol grip design of the same configuration as the popular 1911 auto pistol. The stock utilizes 1911 pistol stocks or an AR-15 style pistol grip.
• A log book pouch and angle indicator can also be attached to the stock, as well as an integral level and compass.
• A bipod mount can be fitted to the stock.
• The underside of the butt stock features an elevation wheel for precisely fine tuning the elevation alignment and creating a 3rd point of ground contact for a rock steady hold (a monopod).
• Heavy duty attachment rings should be fitted to scope and base for superior rigidity. The scope needs to be mechanically leveled with the rifle.
• The MR-30 PG rifle system can be custom fit in a top quality travel vault for the utmost in system protection during shipment. (Vault size and cost will vary with rifle dimensions).
• An MR-30 PG maintenance kit is available. The kit consists of a one piece coated cleaning rod, bore guide, patches, brushes, jags, and accessories. Marksman's choice is recommended as a bore cleaner.
