The Christensen Arms Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, built around a carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel and an adjustable stock with carbon fiber handguard. The 16-inch barrel keeps the package compact and light at 6.9 lbs., and the Desert Brown anodized finish holds up in the field.

Detailed Features 

 
The carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel reduces weight and improves thermal stability during sustained fire. The MLOK rail system along the handguard gives you clean mounting points for bipods or optics without adding bulk. Stock length of pull and comb height are adjustable, which matters when shooting from awkward field positions. 
 
The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering pairs well with the 16-inch barrel for mid- to long-range use. You give up some velocity versus a 22- or 24-inch tube, but the overall length stays manageable for hunting in tight terrain.

Owners of the Christensen MPR in 6.5 Creedmoor generally like the rifle, especially the weight. At 6.9 lbs. it carries well all day, and the carbon fiber components are the main reason for that. Out-of-box accuracy gets positive marks too — many shooters report solid groups without needing to do much work to the rifle first.

The 16-inch barrel draws the most debate. Shorter barrel means less muzzle velocity, and some owners feel that trades away too much performance for 6.5 Creedmoor at longer ranges. Others consider the portability trade-off worthwhile. It depends on what you're doing with it.

Price comes up regularly. Christensen rifles sit at the higher end of the bolt-gun market, and some buyers weigh that against alternatives before committing. Those who do buy generally think the build quality justifies it, though a few compare it against other carbon-chassis options at similar price points.
