Description
The Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 PRC 24″ Carbon Fiber Barrel Rifle is a modern precision rifle built for hunters who demand sub-MOA accuracy without packing a boat anchor into the backcountry. This chassis-based bolt gun pairs a target-contour, carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a folding billet chassis and adjustable cheek riser, giving you a lightweight platform that shoots flat and hits hard out past 800 yards. Chambered in the hard-hitting 6.5 PRC, it delivers the energy and trajectory you need for elk, mule deer, and antelope at extended ranges.

Key Features
- Carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel – Why it matters: Reduces weight by nearly a pound over a steel barrel of the same contour, so you can carry it all day without fatigue while maintaining match-grade accuracy.
- Folding billet chassis with adjustable carbon-fiber cheek riser – Why it matters: Lets you fine-tune your cheek weld for a perfect sight picture and folds for compact storage in a safe or pack, making transport and stalking easier.
- Removable stainless steel side-baffle brake (Black Nitride) – Why it matters: Tames the 6.5 PRC’s recoil for fast follow-up shots on moving game, and the side-baffle design directs blast away from your shooting position.
- AICS-compatible detachable magazine – Why it matters: Offers reliable feeding and quick reloads in the field, with wide availability of aftermarket mags for backup.
- Threaded barrel (5/8×24) – Why it matters: Ready to accept a suppressor or muzzle device without a gunsmith, keeping your setup quiet or reducing muzzle rise.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who spends more time glassing than sitting in a treestand. If you’re chasing elk across public land, spot-and-stalking mule deer in high desert, or dialing in for a 600-yard shot on pronghorn, the MPR’s light weight and long-range capability make it a natural fit. It also suits precision shooters who want a do-it-all rifle that transitions from the range to the mountain without compromise.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box – consistent .75 MOA groups with quality factory ammo.
- Pro: Lightweight at 7.8 lbs, easy to carry on long hikes.
- Pro: 6.5 PRC offers flatter trajectory and more retained energy than 6.5 Creedmoor at extended ranges.
- Con: The folding stock adds complexity and a slight amount of play when locked – not an issue for field use, but precision bench shooters may prefer a fixed stock. Per Christensen Arms specs, this is a trade-off for portability.
