Description
The Christensen Arms MPR 6mm Creedmoor 24″ Carbon Fiber, Desert Brown is a lightweight precision rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without the weight penalty. Weighing in at around 6.9 pounds, this bolt-action chassis rifle combines a target-contour, carbon fiber-wrapped barrel with a billet aluminum chassis and a folding MagneLock stock for easy transport and consistent bedding. The Black Nitride-finished action and removable stainless steel side-baffle muzzle brake keep it durable and shootable right out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Barrel – The 24″ target-contour barrel reduces weight and dissipates heat faster than steel, letting you shoot longer strings without poi shift.
- Folding MagneLock Stock – Locks up solid with zero play when deployed, but folds compact for packing into a truck or safe. No tools needed.
- Billet Aluminum Chassis – Provides a rigid bedding platform for the barreled action, improving consistency from shot to shot.
- Black Nitride Finish – Applied to the action and muzzle brake, this finish resists corrosion and carbon fouling, making cleanup easier after a long day at the range.
- Removable Side-Baffle Muzzle Brake – Reduces felt recoil by about 40% (per Christensen Arms), letting you spot your own hits through the scope.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants one gun for both the field and the range. If you’re chasing pronghorn in open country or ringing steel at 800 yards, the MPR’s light weight and precision barrel let you carry it all day and still shoot tight groups. It’s also a solid pick for the tactical shooter who needs a compact, accurate platform for classes or matches.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a 24″ barrel is rare in a precision rifle. You’ll feel the difference on a long hike.
- Pro: The carbon fiber barrel keeps the balance point near the action, so it handles more like a hunting rifle than a heavy bench gun.
- Con: The carbon fiber barrel can be more sensitive to barrel heating than a heavy steel barrel—plan your strings accordingly.
