Wedgetail Industries "MPR Mini" .223Rem Pump Action Rifle (with accuracy testing)

Following the success of the Wedgetail MPR 308 rifle, they have released the manually operated pump action version in 223. This rifle cannot be converted to semi-automatic and is a pump action rifle under Category B here in Australia. The rifle takes standard 223 pmags and worked flawlessly throughout the review. The only thing I don't personally like is the pump not locking forward like the Remington 7615 because if you pull back on the pump when shooting, it will pull the bolt out of battery, however I demonstrate other shooting positions to easily work around this. Accuracy was good using Hornady ELD-Match (as it has a 1"7 twist) which came in under an inch for 5 shots at 100 yards. Hunting ammo groups were best achieved with the Sierra factory 55gr Blitzking ammo. Overall this rifle is Australian made and they've done a nice job on the look and feel overall.
