Description
Christensen Arms built its name on carbon fiber barrels, and the BA Tactical is where that expertise meets a purpose-built precision platform. At its heart is a 26-inch target contour barrel, 416R stainless steel wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber, free floated, match chambered, and hand lapped. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy match bullets that make 6.5 Creedmoor such a favorite at distance, and the removable stainless side baffle brake keeps the muzzle planted so you can spot your own impacts. Pull the brake off and the 5/8×24 threads are ready for a suppressor. Every one of these rifles ships with Christensen's Sub-MOA guarantee, so the accuracy is baked in before you ever open the box.
A BA Tactical Action Built for Repeatable Precision
The Black Nitride treated receiver is machined with a full-length integral 20 MOA Picatinny rail, which means no separate base to work loose and plenty of elevation headroom for stretching past 1,000 yards. The spiral fluted bolt runs an M16-style extractor with dual ejectors, and the oversized fluted bolt knob makes fast cycling easy from awkward positions. Feeding comes from an AICS-pattern detachable box magazine sitting in machined billet aluminum bottom metal, and the enlarged ejection port keeps brass clearing cleanly. The match grade trigger breaks crisp in the 2.5 to 3.5 pound range, exactly where a precision rifle should be.
Why the 6.5 Creedmoor BA Tactical Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
The carbon fiber composite long range stock is where this rifle separates itself from fixed-dimension competitors. Adjustable comb height and length of pull let you dial in perfect eye alignment behind your scope, and the adjustable butt cant fine-tunes shoulder fit for prone work. You also get a modified beavertail forend that rides bags well, a bottom rail up front for a bipod, five flush cup mounts for slings, and a LimbSaver recoil pad. At around 7.4 pounds bare, it carries lighter than most rifles in this class, which matters whether you are hiking to a firing point or rotating through stages at a match. American made, and equipped like a custom build without the gunsmith wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Christensen Arms BA Tactical come with an accuracy guarantee?
Yes. Christensen Arms backs the BA Tactical with their Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it is built to print sub 1-inch groups at 100 yards with quality match ammunition. That is a factory promise, not marketing talk, and it is one of the main reasons this rifle shows up at precision matches.
Can I run a suppressor on the BA Tactical?
You can. The side baffle brake is removable, and underneath you will find standard 5/8×24 muzzle threads that accept most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and aftermarket muzzle devices. The brake itself is also adjustable, so you can tune it if you prefer to keep it on.
What magazines does the BA Tactical 6.5 Creedmoor accept?
It feeds from AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, which is the most common short action precision magazine standard out there. One magazine ships with the rifle, and spares from Magpul, MDT, Accuracy International, and others drop right in.
Is the stock adjustable enough for prone and positional shooting?
The carbon fiber composite stock adjusts for comb height, length of pull, and butt cant, so you can get proper eye alignment behind a big scope and a solid shoulder pocket in the prone. It also has a bottom Picatinny rail for a bipod, a modified beavertail forend that tracks well on bags, and five flush cup mounts for sling attachment.
