The Christensen Arms MPR (Mountain Precision Rifle) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. It weighs 6.90 lbs, well under what most .338 Lapua platforms run, thanks to an aluminum receiver and a 27-inch 416 stainless steel button-rifled barrel. The integrated base replaces a traditional rail and is machined into the receiver, which keeps mounting options clean without adding height.

Detailed Features
The 27-inch barrel gives .338 Lapua full velocity development, which matters at the ranges this caliber is typically used for. The baffle brake is more effective at recoil reduction than a standard radial brake, which is relevant at 6.90 lbs in a .338 Lapua. Without it, the felt recoil would be significant. TriggerTech provides a clean pull with minimal overtravel, and the integrated base handles optic mounting without requiring separate rail components.
The right-hand configuration is standard. The black finish is straightforward and practical.
Usage Scenarios
The .338 Lapua Magnum with a 27-inch barrel is a serious long-range setup. The caliber retains energy and stays supersonic at distances beyond 1,000 yards. It's a practical choice for precision competition at extended ranges and for hunting large or dangerous game where terminal performance at distance is the priority. The 6.90 lb weight makes it unusually portable for a .338 Lapua platform, though the 48.5-inch overall length is still a factor in tight terrain.
