What’s unique about the Kaimai® (MPR™) rifle?

The Kaimai® MPR™ concept is a little different than the standard run-of-the-mill shortened/suppressed rifles, in that it is intended to also be able to use custom subsonic ammunition for special purpose hunting applications, as well as the standard high velocity (factory or custom-loaded) ammunition for general use deer hunting. This means that a new match-grade ‘fast twist’ custom barrel is required to be precision-fitted to the rifles action, in order for the rifle to be able to stabilise and accurately shoot the specialist subsonic hunting bullets (or other projectiles) at those subsonic velocities.

Combined with the shortened barrel is one of our top quality Kaimai® Hybrid™ aluminium/stainless suppressors (formerly SILENZ®) which all feature a stainless steel self-tightening internal muzzle brake, stainless steel inserts on all of the mid-baffles, Tennalum® ultra-high strength aluminium alloy, and several other advantageous design features that ensure that the best accuracy is maintained, and that the unit is strong and reliable and provides a good level of sound suppression for it’s size, while not being too heavy. There is simply no substitute for the addition of stainless steel right in the critical wear/high-temp internal areas of the suppressor where it is needed most, and while this does add slightly to the final weight of the unit by comparison (approx. 50-70grams more), that is well worth it for the massive increase in life-span, strength and effectiveness – especially on those short-barrelled rifles.

Genuine Kaimai® MPR™ rifles built by us on Tikka T3x actions also feature our quarter-closed (half-cock/safety-lock) conversion on the bolt, which safely and securely locks both the bolt and the trigger simultaneously, for when you want to hunt in a state of ‘semi-readiness’ with a round in the chamber. We have been performing this modification to Tikka rifles professionally for over 10 years, and have the system down to a fine art. As well as the bolt alterations and checking for smooth and reliable feeding, a trigger job comes as standard part of the rifle build process. Custom McMillan stocks (Fibreglass or carbon fibre) are available as an upgrade/extra if required. There are some other customised options which may also be available – just ask.
