Chiappa 8011202200 MPR Rimfire 17 HMR 16 inches Rifle

The Chiappa 8011202200 MPR Rimfire in 17 HMR is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for shooters who demand accuracy at distance without the recoil and noise signature of centerfire platforms. Built by Christensen Arms, this 16-inch barrel rifle fills a critical niche in tactical training, small-game hunting, and precision rimfire competition where cost-per-round efficiency meets sub-MOA repeatability. Law enforcement and military personnel frequently select 17 HMR platforms for low-signature practice and qualification work, making this compact configuration ideal for facility-constrained environments and noise-sensitive ranges.

At 8.4 pounds with a 16-inch barrel, the Chiappa MPR delivers a lightweight, maneuverable platform without sacrificing sight radius or barrel harmonics critical to 17 HMR ballistic performance. The bolt-action design ensures reliability and precise round-to-round consistency—essential for duty qualification and long-range varmint work where wind reading and shooter fundamentals define success. The 17 HMR cartridge produces approximately 2,550 fps with jacketed hollow-point ammunition, generating flat trajectories to 125 yards and consistent energy retention for clean, humane terminal performance on small-to-mid-sized game and paper targets alike.

This rifle is optimally suited for shooters investing in a dedicated precision rimfire for marksmanship development, police academy dry-fire curricula, or long-range rimfire competition circuits where 17 HMR dominates accuracy categories. Maintenance is straightforward—standard rimfire cleaning protocols apply—and ammunition availability remains strong across commercial channels. The compact 51.2-inch overall length makes it practical for tactical carbine training courses, vehicle transport, and confined-space shooting scenarios where full-length centerfire rifles prove unwieldy.
