Description
The Christensen Arms MPR Competition 6mm ARC 26″ is a production-ready precision rifle that pulls no punches on the line. Chambered in 6mm ARC and built on the proven MPR platform, this rig delivers sub-MOA consistency straight from the box. The carbon-fiber wrapped barrel keeps weight at 11 pounds while the 1:7.5″ twist stabilizes everything from 80-grain ELD-Ms to 108-grain hybrids. If you’re chasing X-ring hits at 600 yards or stacking wind calls at 1,000, this is the tool.

Key Features
- 26″ Carbon-Fiber Wrapped Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The 1:7.5″ twist rate optimizes 6mm ARC bullet stabilization for long-range precision, while the carbon wrap sheds heat faster and reduces barrel whip during strings of fire.
- AICS-Compatible Detachable Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: You get reliable feeding from standard 5-round AICS pattern mags, so you’re not locked into proprietary magazines that cost a premium and fail under pressure.
- Tungsten Anodized Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The hard-coat anodizing resists corrosion and scratches from barricade abuse, keeping the action slick even in wet or dusty conditions.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24) — WHY IT MATTERS: Direct thread a suppressor or brake without gunsmithing — the 26″ barrel length keeps velocity up even with a can attached.
- Adjustable Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The factory trigger breaks clean between 2.5–3.5 lbs out of the box, but you can dial it down further for precision stages without a trip to the smith.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the PRS/NRL shooter who wants a production gun that doesn’t need aftermarket work to be competitive. It’s also ideal for the long-range hobbyist who values weight savings — at 11 pounds, it walks the line between a heavy bench gun and a carry rifle for positional stages. If you reload 6mm ARC, the 1:7.5″ twist lets you push 108-grain bullets at 2,700+ fps without pressure signs.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box; carbon-wrapped barrel reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness; AICS mag compatibility saves money on spare mags; threaded muzzle for suppressor use; adjustable trigger meets match standards.
- Cons: The 11-pound weight is on the heavier side for a carry rifle — not ideal for backcountry hunting or long stalks. The factory stock lacks adjustable cheek riser, so you may need a cheek pad for perfect scope alignment.
