The Christensen Arms Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, built around an aluminum receiver, carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel, and a billet chassis with folding stock and MagneLock technology. At 6.90 lbs with a 22-inch barrel it's notably light for a chassis precision rifle.

Detailed Features 

 
The carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel is the primary reason the MPR hits 6.90 lbs despite the full chassis design. The TriggerTech flat trigger has a clean break and is adjustable for pull weight. The folding stock with MagneLock secures the stock solidly when open and folds for transport or storage. No traditional sights are included — the receiver has an integrated base for mounting optics directly. The 1:8" twist rate is well-matched to the 140-grain 6.5 Creedmoor bullets most precision shooters use. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

 
The MPR is built for long-range shooting — hunters taking shots at distance and precision rifle competitors are the primary buyers. The 6.5 Creedmoor caliber has a flat trajectory and mild recoil that makes it practical at extended ranges. The folding chassis makes transport easier than a traditional fixed-stock rifle. It's priced at the higher end of the production precision rifle market, which reflects the carbon fiber barrel and chassis construction.

The Christensen Arms MPR in 6.5 Creedmoor draws consistently positive feedback, particularly from long-range shooters and hunters.

Accuracy is the most-praised attribute. Owners frequently report sub-MOA groups and find the 6.5 Creedmoor chambering performs well at distance with commercial 140-grain loads. The carbon fiber-wrapped barrel and lightweight chassis are highlighted as differentiators — 6.90 lbs is unusually light for a chassis rifle and gets specific mention from hunters who carry it in the field. The TriggerTech flat trigger earns praise for its clean break. Adjustable fit from the chassis also comes up positively.

The price is acknowledged by nearly every discussion as significant — the MPR sits at the higher end of production precision rifles. Most owners who comment on it feel the construction quality justifies the cost, though buyers on a tighter budget may find comparable accuracy from less expensive platforms. Customer service from Christensen Arms gets mixed reviews; some owners report attentive warranty support, others describe slower or less satisfactory interactions.

Overall the MPR has a strong reputation among precision rifle shooters who prioritize weight savings and build quality.
