Product Description

“`html

The Christensen Arms MPR in .22 Creedmoor is a lightweight, competition-ready precision rifle built for shooters who demand velocity without the recoil penalty. Weighing just 6.5 lbs thanks to Christensen’s signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology, this bolt-action chassis rifle pairs the wildcat .22 Creedmoor cartridge—the PRS shooter’s favorite—with a folding billet aluminum stock designed for extended-range competition and tactical precision work. If you’re running precision rifle matches or seeking a suppressor-ready long-range platform that won’t exhaust you on the firing line, this is it.

About Christensen Arms

Founded in 1995 in Gunnison, Utah, Christensen Arms pioneered production carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology and has spent nearly three decades refining aerospace-grade precision rifle engineering. Their signature innovation—a stainless steel barrel core wrapped in carbon fiber—delivers a massive weight reduction while maintaining the rigidity and thermal stability required for match-grade accuracy. Every Christensen rifle leverages aerospace materials: carbon fiber, titanium, and match-grade stainless steel, resulting in precision tools that weigh 5–7 lbs—significantly lighter than any steel-barrel competitor in the category.

Key Specifications

The MPR Platform

The Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) is Christensen Arms’ purpose-built competition and tactical chassis system. Unlike traditional hunting rifles, the MPR’s folding billet aluminum stock enables rapid transition between shooting positions—essential for precision rifle matches where equipment transport and stage setup demand compact profiles. The Remington 700 footprint ensures compatibility with a vast ecosystem of aftermarket triggers, optics rails, and precision components, while the threaded barrel accepts suppressors, which is critical for competitors seeking sound reduction and recoil mitigation during extended range sessions.

The .22 Creedmoor caliber is no accident here. By necking the 6.5 Creedmoor case down to .224 diameter, you gain screaming velocity—often 3,500+ fps with match-grade ammunition—paired with minimal recoil and wind drift compared to larger magnum calibers. For PRS competitors, this means flatter trajectories, faster follow-up shots, and the ability to shoot lighter ammunition costs without sacrificing precision. The 20″ barrel strikes the balance between velocity and portability, while the sub-7 lb weight means your shoulder and legs will thank you after 8+ hours of a two-day precision event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is .22 Creedmoor and why is it popular in precision rifle competition?

A: .22 Creedmoor is a wildcat cartridge created by necking down the 6.5 Creedmoor case to .224 diameter. It’s the PRS shooter’s favorite because it delivers 3,500+ fps velocity with minimal recoil, enabling flatter trajectories, superior wind resistance, and lower ammunition costs compared to larger magnum calibers while maintaining match-grade precision.

Q: How much does the carbon fiber barrel reduce weight compared to steel?

A: Christensen Arms’ carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology reduces rifle weight significantly—this MPR weighs approximately 6.5 lbs, lighter than nearly all steel-barrel precision rifles in its class. The carbon fiber wrap maintains barrel rigidity and thermal stability while eliminating unnecessary mass, critical for endurance during extended competition shooting.

Q: Is the MPR suitable for suppressed shooting?

A: Yes. The 20″ barrel is threaded, making it suppressor-ready. The MPR’s folding aluminum chassis and minimal recoil profile make it an excellent suppressed platform for training, competition, and tactical work. The .22 Creedmoor’s moderate pressure characteristics also pair well with quality suppressors.

Q: What is the Remington 700 footprint and why does it matter?

A: The Remington 700 footprint is an industry-standard bolt-action receiver design. The MPR uses this footprint, giving you access to thousands of aftermarket triggers, optics rails, chassis options, and precision components. This compatibility ensures long-term modularity and upgrade potential for competition shooters.
