Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ Carbon Fiber, 5rd

Description

The Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ Carbon Fiber, 5rd is a factory-built precision rifle that marries lightweight carbon-fiber construction with a fully adjustable chassis system. Designed for shooters who demand accuracy in the field or on the range, this model from Christensen Arms delivers sub-MOA performance out of the box. The MPR (Modern Precision Rifle) platform combines a hand-laid carbon fiber barrel with a rigid aluminum chassis, making it one of the most portable precision rifles in its class.

Key Features

• Carbon Fiber Barrel — The 22″ target-contour barrel is wrapped in hand-laid carbon fiber, reducing weight by roughly 30% over a steel barrel of the same profile. This keeps the rifle light enough for carry while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy.
• TriggerTech Flat Trigger — A fully adjustable, zero-creep trigger that breaks cleanly at a user-set pull weight (factory set to ~3.5 lbs). The flat shoe provides a consistent finger placement for repeatable shots.
• Folding Stock with Adjustable Cheek Riser — The buttstock folds to the right for compact storage and transport, and the cheek piece adjusts for proper eye alignment with optics. A length-of-pull spacer system lets you dial in your fit.
• 20 MOA Optics Rail — Machined into the aluminum chassis, the 20 MOA rail gives you extra elevation adjustment for long-range shooting without needing a sloped base. This is especially useful with the 6.5 Creedmoor’s flat trajectory.
• Free-Floating M-LOK Handguard — The carbon fiber handguard is fully free-floated, meaning no pressure touches the barrel during firing. M-LOK slots let you mount bipods, lights, or rail sections without adding a heavy forend.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the shooter who values both precision and portability. If you’re a hunter who stalks elk in the mountains and wants a rifle that shoots like a competition gun, the MPR’s 7.5 lb weight makes it feasible. It also suits the tactical precision shooter who needs a rifle that can ride in a pack or vehicle case without sacrificing accuracy. Collectors will appreciate the carbon fiber craftsmanship and the fully adjustable chassis system, which is rare at this price point.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee from Christensen Arms — most factory loads produce 0.5–0.75 MOA groups.
• Pro: Lightweight enough for all-day carry, yet rigid enough for benchrest accuracy.
• Pro: AICS magazine compatibility means you can use affordable, widely available magazines from Magpul, Accurate-Mag, and others.
• Con: The carbon fiber barrel can heat up faster than a heavy steel barrel during rapid fire strings, so it’s best suited for precision shooting rather than high-volume drills.
• Con: Folding stock mechanism adds a small amount of flex compared to a fixed chassis — most shooters won’t notice, but benchrest purists may prefer a solid stock.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 Creedmoor?

The 22″ carbon fiber barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains — the most common weights for 6.5 Creedmoor match and hunting loads.

Does the MPR come with a scope or rings?

No, the rifle ships without optics. The 20 MOA rail accepts standard Picatinny rings or one-piece mounts. Christensen Arms does not include rings or a scope.

Can I use this rifle for hunting?

Yes. At 7.5 lbs and with a folding stock, it’s well-suited for mountain and prairie hunting where weight and packability matter. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent cartridge for deer, antelope, and similar game out to 500+ yards.

What is the warranty on Christensen Arms rifles?

Christensen Arms offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. The carbon fiber barrel is covered for the life of the barrel against delamination or structural failure.
