The Traverse came about when Christensen Arms took the features customers kept asking for and rolled them into one rifle. The result is a mountain gun with old-school lines and thoroughly modern guts. This version is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20 inch carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel in a light target contour and a 1:8 twist, which stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets the Creedmoor is known for. At roughly 7.3 pounds bare, it carries like a mountain rifle should, and Christensen backs it with their Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
The Monte Carlo carbon fiber composite stock is the signature piece here. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, the beavertail-style forend rides bags and packs well, and the black finish with gray webbing looks sharp without being flashy. Up top you get a 0-MOA Picatinny optic rail already installed, and underneath there's a short rail section on the forend for mounting a bipod. The removable stainless side-baffle brake takes the already gentle 6.5 Creedmoor down to nearly nothing, and it can be tuned with set screws to manage muzzle jump so you can spot your own hits. A match-grade adjustable trigger, spiral fluted bolt with an oversized knob, M16-style extractor, and a machined billet receiver round out a feature list that reads more like a custom build sheet than a factory rifle.
This is a rifle built for hunters who cover ground. The 20 inch barrel keeps the overall package handy in timber and easy to maneuver in and out of a truck or a pack scabbard, while the 6.5 Creedmoor still delivers plenty of reach for deer, antelope, and similar game across open country. Feeding comes from a 4+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, so there's no detachable mag to lose on the mountain. Built by hand in the USA, the Traverse is the kind of rifle you buy once and hunt with for decades.
Yes. Christensen Arms backs the Traverse with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and independent reviews have consistently found it shoots tight groups with quality factory ammo. The 1:8 twist 20 inch barrel handles heavier 6.5 Creedmoor bullets like 140 to 147 grain loads very well, which is exactly what you want for extended-range work on game.
You can. The side-baffle brake threads onto the muzzle and comes off easily if you prefer a bare barrel or want to run a suppressor. It also has set screws up top that let you tune muzzle jump, which makes it easier to stay in the scope and spot your own impacts.
No, this model feeds from a 4+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate. A lot of backcountry hunters prefer this setup since there's no magazine to drop or lose in the field, and it keeps the rifle's belly slim for comfortable carry. The floorplate drops open for quick, easy unloading.
You give up a modest amount of velocity compared to a 24 inch tube, typically in the neighborhood of 75 to 100 fps depending on the load. In exchange you get a noticeably handier rifle that's easier to pack, maneuver in timber, and shoot from field positions. For most hunting distances the tradeoff heavily favors the shorter barrel, and the 6.5 Creedmoor still has plenty left for game well past 400 yards.
