Description
Some rifles are built to do a little of everything. The Christensen Arms ELR is not one of them. This is a dedicated extended long range hunting rifle, and every piece of it points toward the same goal: putting a bullet exactly where you want it at distances most rifles never get asked to reach. The 7mm Remington Magnum chambering is a natural fit here, sending high-BC bullets fast and flat with plenty of energy left way out past where most hunters hang it up.
Why the ELR's Carbon Fiber Barrel Matters
The 26 inch target contour barrel starts with 416R stainless steel and gets wrapped in Christensen's Aerograde carbon fiber, giving you the stiffness and heat management of a heavy barrel without lugging heavy barrel weight up a ridge. A 1:9 twist stabilizes the long, sleek bullets that make the 7mm Rem Mag shine at distance, and the removable titanium side-baffle brake takes real bite out of magnum recoil while shaving weight compared to a steel brake. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so swapping to a different device is simple. Total weight starts at about 7.5 pounds, which is remarkable for a rifle in this class.
Built Around the Shot, Not the Spec Sheet
The carbon fiber composite stock adjusts for both length of pull and comb height via spacers, so you can get your eye behind big glass without craning your neck. An enhanced grip angle, modified beavertail forend, and five flush cup mounts handle slings and bipods cleanly, and spot bedding with stainless pillars keeps the action locked in place. Up top, an integral 20 MOA Picatinny rail buys you extra elevation for stretching your dope way out there. A TriggerTech trigger and an oversized fluted bolt knob round out the controls, and the whole package is backed by Christensen's Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
Who Should Pick Up This Christensen Arms ELR
If your hunts involve open country, long glassing sessions, and shots you need to be sure of, this rifle earns its keep. It is also a great fit for anyone who wants a legitimate precision rig that does not weigh as much as a bench gun. Pair it with quality glass and good ammo, and the ELR will hold up its end of the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Christensen Arms ELR accurate enough for long range hunting?
Yes, that is exactly what it was designed for. Christensen Arms backs the ELR with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and the target contour carbon fiber wrapped barrel, TriggerTech trigger, and pillar bedded stock all support consistent groups. With quality ammo and good glass, this rifle is capable well beyond typical hunting distances.
Can I remove the muzzle brake on the ELR and run a suppressor?
The titanium side-baffle brake is removable, and the muzzle is threaded in the common 5/8×24 pattern. That makes it straightforward to swap on a suppressor or another muzzle device. Just keep in mind that removing the brake will bring back more of the 7mm Rem Mag's recoil.
How adjustable is the stock on the Christensen Arms ELR?
The carbon fiber composite stock adjusts for both length of pull and comb height using spacers, so you can set it up to fit your build and your scope height. It also features an enhanced grip angle, a beavertail forend, and five flush cup mounts for slings and bipods.
Does the ELR come with a scope or iron sights?
No, the rifle ships without sights or optics. It has an integral 20 MOA Picatinny rail machined into the receiver, which gives you a rock-solid mounting platform and extra elevation travel for dialing long shots. Plan on pairing it with a quality long range scope to get the most out of it.
