New Wedgetail MPR Micro in .223 & .300BLK

Last updated on September 16th, 2025

Something new has just been released for Aussie shooters, it’s the new Wedgetail MPR Micro in .223 and .300BLK. It’s a compact pump action that shrinks down the design of the MPR .308 and even the MPR Mini. And this is how it stands out.

Wedgetail’s MPR .308 made waves for giving shooters a high quality pump action option. It shares the same familiar layout as their semi auto rifles but the company kept this look while avoiding restricted classification.

Then came the MPR Mini in .223 and .300BLK and now the MPR Micro also in .223 and .300BLK, which pushes things even smaller. It’s built on that same style frame, but everything is tightened up. It’s 2.5 kg and only 760mm long with the stock down. The barrel is just 330mm (13 inches) and the handguard is only 300mm . That makes it noticeably more compact than the Mini.

Despite the smaller size, the Micro keeps the modular forged aluminium receivers and the hammer forged barrel Wedgetail is known for. It’s still pump action and shares the same basic mechanics, so it’s reliable and consistent on the range.

So why go Micro? If you want something easy to handle, especially in tight spaces, or just like having something smaller, this is the next step down from the Mini. And compared to the big MPR .308, it’s lighter and will feel more nimble. All the core qualities are still there, simple, strong, straight pull cycling, Aussie made, but it’s trimmed for maneuverability.

One thing to keep in mind is how laws treat these rifles. Some states, like NSW and Tasmania, ban rifles that look like this platform even if they’re pump action. The Micro looks familiar enough that it will likely fall under those same restrictions.

To sum it up, the Wedgetail MPR Micro is the smallest of the new pump action family. It’s lighter, shorter and easier to move around than both the MPR .308 and the Mini. It delivers that same build quality, same operation, just in a tighter package. I am seriously considering ordering one in FDE and adding an LPVO or maybe a 3-20×50 optic. A neat compact rifle system for sure and great to see more Aussie made rifles.
