Description
The Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor is the Modern Precision Rifle built on a 7075 aluminum billet chassis with a folding stock, a carbon fiber wrapped 22 inch barrel and a TriggerTech flat trigger. It is a match ready rifle out of the box that still fits in a pack when the stock is folded.
Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel and Muzzle
The 22 in. barrel is a 416R stainless core in a target profile, button rifled and match chambered, then wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber. The wrap sheds close to a pound against a bare steel barrel of the same contour and moves heat out of the steel faster, which keeps groups honest deeper into a string.
Rifling is a 1:8 twist, the right pitch for 140 to 147 grain match bullets. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears an adjustable stainless side baffle brake that you can time and tune, or replace with a suppressor without a gunsmith.
Chassis, Folding Stock and Trigger
The chassis is machined from 7075 aluminum billet and anodized black. The buttstock folds to the side and locks magnetically in both positions, which drops overall length by roughly nine inches for pack carry or a short case, then returns to zero when you open it.
The carbon fiber cheek riser adjusts through an inch of height and length of pull runs from 12.5 to 14.5 inches, so the rifle fits shooters in a t shirt and in a parka without tools. A TriggerTech flat shoe trigger handles the break with a clean release and a short reset, and the action feeds from AICS pattern magazines.

Why the 22 Inch Barrel Works Here
A 22 inch tube is the sensible middle of the 6.5 Creedmoor range. It gives up very little velocity against a 24 inch barrel, keeps the rifle balanced between the hands rather than nose heavy, and leaves room for a suppressor without the whole package becoming unwieldy on a barricade or in a truck.
Paired with the folding stock, the result is a precision rifle that measures about 33 inches folded. That matters more than it sounds, because a rifle that fits a pack or a discreet case is a rifle that actually goes with you.
Why Buyers Choose the Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor
Most chassis rifles arrive heavy. This one starts at 6.9 lbs., which is remarkable for a rifle with an aluminum chassis, and the carbon barrel is where that weight is saved. You get match rifle adjustability and a hunting rifle carry weight in the same package.
The details are the ones experienced shooters check first. AICS magazines, a TriggerTech trigger, a real adjustable brake, an M16 style extractor and a full length top rail are all included rather than sold as upgrades.
Who Should Buy It
The Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor suits precision rifle series competitors who also hunt, backcountry hunters who want chassis adjustability without chassis weight, and shooters who need a rifle that travels folded. It is also a sound first serious precision rifle, because 6.5 Creedmoor match ammunition is cheap enough to shoot in volume.
