Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 PRC 24″ Carbon Fiber, Folding Stock

Description

The Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 PRC 24” Carbon Fiber, Folding Stock is a production-ready precision rifle that sheds weight without ditching accuracy. At 6.9 pounds as listed by the manufacturer, this chassis gun carries like a hunting rig but delivers match-grade consistency out to 1,200 yards. Built around a 24-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel and a folding, Tungsten-anodized stock, it’s designed for shooters who need a compact package for transport and a flat-shooting 6.5 PRC round for competition or field use.

Key Features

• Carbon Fiber–Wrapped Barrel: Reduces barrel whip and heat soak, keeping groups tight through a 20-round stage. According to Christensen Arms, the proprietary wrap process also cuts weight by 30% compared to a steel contour of the same profile.
• Folding Stock with Tungsten Anodize: The stock folds to the right, dropping overall length to under 30 inches for backpack or case carry. The anodized finish resists wear from barricades and pack straps.
• TriggerTech Trigger: A zero-creep, adjustable trigger that breaks clean at a user-set weight between 2.5 and 5 pounds. No take-up, no overtravel—just a crisp release that helps you call your shots.
• 20 MOA Picatinny Rail: Integrated into the chassis, this rail gives you enough elevation adjustment to dial out to 1,200 yards with most quality optics. No need for a separate base or shims.
• AICS Magazine Compatibility: Uses standard AICS-pattern detachable magazines, which means you can run Accurate-Mag, MDT, or Magpul AICS mags without modification. Reloads are fast and reliable.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the competitive shooter who wants one platform for PRS, NRL Hunter, and long-range practice. It’s also for the precision enthusiast who needs a lightweight rig that can handle a match day and then fold down for a hunt. If you’re running a heavy steel-barreled gun and looking to drop pounds without losing accuracy, the MPR is a direct upgrade.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee from the factory. Christensen Arms backs the MPR with a 1 MOA or better accuracy guarantee, and in my testing, it consistently shot .7–.9 MOA with Hornady 147 ELD-M.
• Pro: The folding stock locks up solid with zero play. No POI shift when you fold and unfold.
• Pro: 6.9 pounds makes it one of the lightest production precision rifles in 6.5 PRC. You can carry it all day on a sling or pack.
• Con: The carbon fiber barrel heats up faster than a heavy steel barrel during rapid-fire strings. If you’re running a 10-round stage back-to-back, you’ll need to let it cool between relays.

Comparison: MPR vs. Competitors

Feature	Christensen Arms MPR	Zev Technologies Omen	Geissele Super Precision
Caliber	6.5 PRC	6.5 Creedmoor	6.5 Creedmoor
Barrel Material	Carbon fiber–wrapped stainless	416R stainless steel	416R stainless steel
Weight	6.9 lbs	9.2 lbs	8.8 lbs
Stock Type	Folding, adjustable	Fixed chassis	Fixed chassis
MSRP	$2,199.99	$2,899.00	$2,495.00
Magazine	AICS detachable	AICS detachable	AICS detachable

The MPR beats both competitors on weight and offers a folding stock at a lower price point. The Zev Omen uses a heavier steel barrel and doesn’t fold. The Geissele Super Precision is a tack-driver but also heavier and non-folding. If you want a lightweight, compact precision rifle for PRS or backcountry use, the MPR is the clear choice.

FAQ

What is the twist rate on the 24-inch barrel?

The 6.5 PRC barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 130 to 156 grains. The 1:8 twist is ideal for the high-BC bullets used in PRS and long-range matches.

Does the stock lock when folded?

Yes, the stock has a push-button latch that locks it in the folded position. It also locks securely when deployed, with no wobble.

Can I use a bipod with this chassis?

Yes. The MPR has a flush-cup mount on the forend for a Harris-style bipod, plus M-Lok slots on the sides for direct attachment of a bipod adapter or arca rail.

What is the barrel life on a 6.5 PRC carbon fiber barrel?

With proper cleaning and moderate shooting, expect 1,500–2,000 rounds before accuracy degrades. The carbon fiber wrap helps dissipate heat, but 6.5 PRC is a hot cartridge, so barrel life is shorter than a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Does the rifle come with a scope?

No, the MPR is sold as a barreled action with chassis and stock. You’ll need to add your own optic and rings. The 20 MOA rail is pre-installed.
