Description
There are lightweight rifles, and then there is the Summit Ti. Christensen Arms started with a titanium receiver, which gives up nothing in strength to steel while cutting the weight roughly in half, then machined it with an integrated 0 MOA Picatinny split rail so your scope base is part of the action itself. Add a spiral-fluted bolt with an oversize knob, a crisp TriggerTech trigger, and a hinged floorplate magazine that skips the bulk of a detachable box, and you get a 6.5 PRC that starts around five and a half pounds before glass. For anyone who counts ounces on backcountry hunts, that number matters.
The Barrel Behind the Summit Ti's Half-MOA Guarantee
The 24 inch light target contour barrel is where Christensen's carbon fiber experience really shows. Underneath the aerograde carbon wrap is a hand-lapped, button-rifled 416R stainless blank with a match chamber and a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets 6.5 PRC was built around. It floats free in the stock, sheds heat well for a barrel this trim, and wears a removable titanium radial muzzle brake on 5/8×24 threads to take the edge off recoil. Christensen backs the whole package with their Half-MOA accuracy guarantee, which is not a claim many production rifles this light can make.
A Carbon Stock That Matches the Summit Ti's Mission
The hand-laid aerograde carbon fiber sporter stock in a natural carbon finish keeps the clean lines and low weight going. Bedding pillars and spot bedding give the titanium action a rigid, consistent foundation, and the integrated recoil pad plus the factory brake make the 6.5 PRC pleasant to shoot from field positions. With 3+1 capacity and a chambering that hits hard at distance without punishing you at the bench, this is a rifle built for elk timber, sheep country, and any hunt where the truck is a long way behind you. It carries like a daypack and shoots like a target rig, which is exactly the point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Summit Ti in 6.5 PRC weigh?
The Summit Ti line starts around 5.5 pounds, and this sporter-stocked 6.5 PRC version sits right at the light end of that range. The titanium receiver, carbon wrapped barrel, and hand-laid carbon stock are what get it there. Even with a scope and rings mounted, most setups stay comfortably under 7.5 pounds.
Is the Christensen Arms Summit Ti accurate enough for long range hunting?
Yes, Christensen backs this rifle with a Half-MOA accuracy guarantee, which is a higher bar than most production hunting rifles carry. The free-floated, hand-lapped 416R stainless barrel has a match chamber and a 1:8 twist that handles the heavy, high-BC 6.5mm bullets well. Paired with 6.5 PRC ballistics, it is a legitimate 500 yard and beyond hunting setup for shooters who put in the practice.
Does the Summit Ti use a detachable magazine?
No, this rifle feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 3 rounds plus one in the chamber. Christensen went this route to trim weight and keep the bottom of the rifle snag-free for pack carry. Unloading is quick since the floorplate drops the rounds out without cycling them through the action.
Can I remove the muzzle brake on the Summit Ti?
Yes, the titanium radial brake threads onto a standard 5/8×24 muzzle, so you can take it off or swap in a suppressor or thread protector. Just keep in mind the rifle is very light for a 6.5 PRC, so the brake does noticeable work taming recoil. Many owners run the brake for practice and a can in the field.
