The Christensen Arms Modern Hunting Rifle (MHR) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. It weighs 7.4 lbs and uses a 7075 billet aluminum chassis with a Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber forearm. The 22-inch barrel is carbon fiber-wrapped using Christensen's Aerograde process, which keeps the barrel stiff and light simultaneously.

Detailed Features 

The Aerograde carbon fiber barrel wrapping is stiffer than standard carbon fiber wrap, which reduces heat distortion and improves shot-to-shot consistency at sustained firing rates. The threaded muzzle with included 5/8x24 muzzle brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise. The forearm has mLok, QD, and Picatinny attachment points built in, so accessory mounting doesn't require additional hardware. The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and breaks cleanly. The 7075 aluminum chassis is harder than typical 6061 aluminum, adding durability without meaningful weight penalty. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

The 6.5 Creedmoor caliber and 22-inch barrel combination is well matched for precision rifle competition and long-range hunting. The MHR's chassis design and accessory-ready forearm make it more customizable than most hunting-oriented bolt guns while staying at 7.4 lbs — heavier than the Ridgeline FFT but lighter than a traditional chassis gun.

MHR owners in 6.5 Creedmoor report positively, with accuracy and the chassis design being the most discussed features.

The rifle groups consistently at long range, and owners who run it in precision rifle competitions or for long-range hunting both note that it performs as expected from the Christensen platform. The Aerograde carbon barrel gets credit for heat management during sustained fire at the range.

The mLok and Picatinny-equipped forearm is specifically appreciated by users who want to add accessories without buying adapters. The chassis format makes it adaptable compared to a standard sporter stock.

Price is the regular friction. The MHR costs more than most production 6.5 Creedmoor rifles. Most buyers who bought it feel the build quality justifies it; those who didn't are typically budget-constrained rather than skeptical of the quality.

Customer service experience is the same mixed picture as across the Christensen line — some owners report smooth interactions, others hit delays or parts availability issues.
