The Christensen Arms Modern Precision Pistol is a bolt-action pistol chambered in .223 Rem. It weighs 4.4 lbs and has a 10.5-inch barrel, making it compact enough to maneuver in tight spaces while still giving the .223 cartridge room to develop meaningful velocity. The black hardcoat anodized finish is durable against scratches and corrosion.

Features 

 
At 4.4 lbs the pistol is light enough to carry all day in the field without fatigue. The 10.5-inch barrel balances compactness against ballistic performance. The receiver has an integrated base for mounting optics and accessories without additional adapters. The magazine is AICS-compatible and detachable, which speeds up reloads and opens the door to aftermarket magazines. 
 
The bolt-action format gives the pistol inherent accuracy advantages over semi-auto designs at the cost of follow-up shot speed — a trade-off that suits the varmint hunting and precision target shooting applications this gun is built for. 
 

Usage 

• Varmint and small game hunting 
• Precision target shooting and range work 
• Situations where a compact, accurate package is preferred over a full-length rifle

Owners of the Christensen Arms Bolt Pistol in .223 Rem tend to be satisfied, particularly those who bought it for varmint hunting or precision range work. Accuracy gets the most praise — the bolt-action design and .223 cartridge combination delivers tight groups, and Christensen Arms' attention to materials and fit is consistently mentioned.

The light weight is a practical plus for field use. At 4.4 lbs it's easy to carry and doesn't fatigue the shooter during extended sessions.

Price is the main point of friction. Some buyers feel it's expensive relative to other bolt-action pistols on the market, and a few mention that the aftermarket accessory ecosystem for this specific model is thinner than for more established platforms.

Overall the consensus is positive — buyers who understand what they're getting (a compact, accurate bolt-action pistol, not a budget option) are generally happy with the performance and build quality.
