Description

There is a reason the Modern Precision Rifle turned heads when Christensen Arms first rolled it out, and this .223 Rem version might be the most fun way to get into one. You get all the hardware from the bigger MPR chassis guns, scaled down to a cartridge that is cheap to feed, easy on the shoulder, and plenty accurate for punching steel way past what most people expect from a .223. The 16-inch barrel keeps the whole rifle at 41.5 inches, and the folding stock shrinks it down even further for the truck or the pack.

What Makes the MPR Chassis Different

The backbone here is a 7075 billet aluminum chassis with a free-floating carbon fiber M-LOK handguard up front. The folding stock locks up tight with a locking hinge and Magnelock technology, and both the carbon fiber cheek riser and length of pull adjust to fit you properly behind the glass. Christensen even machined the left side of the mag well lower-profile so prone reloads with the AICS-pattern magazines go smoother. The grip is standard AR pattern, so swapping in your favorite takes about two minutes.

A Carbon Fiber Barrel That Backs It Up

The barrel is Christensen's 416R stainless blank wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber, cut with a match chamber, 1:8 twist, and a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle wearing a removable side-baffle brake in Black Nitride. That twist rate stabilizes heavier match bullets in the 69 to 77 grain range, which is exactly what you want when you stretch a .223 out past 500 yards. Every MPR ships with Christensen's Sub-MOA guarantee, so the accuracy is on paper, not just in the marketing.

Running the Christensen MPR at the Range

A TriggerTech flat-shoe trigger, spiral fluted bolt with an oversized knob, and an integrated 20 MOA rail round out the package, so it is optic-ready out of the box. Whether you are building a trainer that mirrors your big-bore precision rig, getting into PRS-style matches without the ammo bill, or just want a tack driver for varmints, this one covers a lot of ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magazines does the Christensen Arms MPR .223 use?

The MPR feeds from AICS-pattern detachable box magazines and ships with one 5-round mag. Since AICS is the most common precision rifle magazine pattern out there, finding higher capacity spares in .223 is easy from brands like MDT and Accurate-Mag.

Can I put a suppressor on this MPR?

Yes. The .223 version has a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, which matches most .22 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. The factory side-baffle brake is removable, so you can swap straight over to a can whenever you are ready.

Is a 16-inch barrel enough for long range shooting in .223?

It gives up some velocity to a 24 or 26 inch tube, but the 1:8 twist stabilizes heavier 69 to 77 grain match bullets that hold up well downrange. Plenty of people ring steel at 600 yards and beyond with short-barreled .223 bolt guns, and the shorter barrel makes the rifle much handier, especially suppressed.

Does the Christensen MPR come with an accuracy guarantee?

It does. Christensen Arms backs the Modern Precision Rifle with their Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it should print sub-1-inch groups at 100 yards with quality match ammo. Between the carbon fiber wrapped match barrel and the TriggerTech flat trigger, the rifle has the hardware to deliver on it.
