The Christensen Arms Evoke 6.5 PRC 22″ Burnt Bronze/Green is a full-size production bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand sub-MOA consistency without the custom wait time. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, it pairs a 22-inch threaded barrel with a TriggerTech adjustable trigger and a synthetic Hybrid Hunter stock that includes an integrated Picatinny rail. Finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote with green accents, this rifle ships with an RFR-style muzzle brake and accepts detachable AICS-pattern magazines (4+1 capacity). According to Christensen Arms specs, the Evoke is intended as a do-it-all precision rifle for long-range hunting and steel-ringing sessions alike.

Key Features
- 22″ Threaded Barrel with RFR Muzzle Brake – Why it matters: The 22-inch length balances velocity retention with maneuverability in tight cover, while the included radial-port brake cuts felt recoil by roughly 40%, letting you spot your own trace through the scope.
- TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger – Why it matters: Factory triggers often run 3.5–4 lb with creep; this one breaks clean at a user-settable 2.5–3.5 lb, giving you a crisp release that doesn’t disturb your sight picture at 800 yards.
- Hybrid Hunter Stock with Integrated Picatinny Rail – Why it matters: The stock blends a rigid carbon-fiber-reinforced core with a textured grip surface, and the built-in rail accepts direct-mount bipods or ARCA adapters without extra hardware.
- 6.5 PRC Chambering – Why it matters: The 6.5 PRC pushes a 140-grain bullet at 2,950+ fps, delivering 1,400 ft-lb of energy past 500 yards—enough for elk-sized game with a flatter trajectory than the 6.5 Creedmoor.
- Detachable AICS-Magazine (4+1 Capacity) – Why it matters: You get fast reloads and the ability to top off from the prone position without breaking your firing grip, a key advantage in both competition and field hunting.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants a production gun that shoots like a semi-custom. The Evoke suits long-range hunters who need a lightweight rig (7.8 lb) that still prints .75 MOA with factory match ammo, as well as PRS shooters on a budget who want a threaded barrel, adjustable trigger, and detachable magazine without spending $3,000+. It’s also a solid choice for the reloader who wants to push the 6.5 PRC to its full potential—the 1:8 twist stabilizes 147–156 gr bullets easily.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Sub-MOA guarantee from the factory—most examples shoot 0.5–0.75 MOA with quality ammo
- TriggerTech trigger is a genuine upgrade over budget triggers; adjustable without tools
- Integrated Picatinny rail on the forend simplifies bipod mounting and reduces weight vs. add-on rails
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish resists corrosion and glare in the field
Cons
- Stock is stiff but lacks an adjustable cheek riser; taller shooters may need a cheek pad for a perfect weld
- Magazine well is polymer and can bind with some aftermarket AICS magazines if not fully seated

FAQ
Does the Christensen Arms Evoke come with a scope base?
Yes—the receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws, and the rifle ships with a one-piece Picatinny rail installed. You can mount standard 30mm or 34mm rings directly.
What twist rate is the barrel?
The 22-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 130–156 grain bullets. This stabilizes the heavier projectiles that the 6.5 PRC is known for, like the 147 gr ELD-M or 156 gr Berger.
Is the muzzle brake removable?
Yes—the RFR-style brake is threaded 5/8×24 and can be removed to install a suppressor or thread protector. The barrel is dimpled for set-screw suppressor mounts if desired.
What magazines does the Evoke use?
It accepts standard AICS-pattern short-action magazines. It ships with one 4-round steel magazine from Christensen Arms, but will also feed from MDT, Accurate-Mag, or Magpul AICS mags.
How does the trigger adjust?
The TriggerTech trigger uses an internal adjustment screw accessible through the trigger shoe. Turn clockwise for heavier pull (up to ~3.5 lb) or counterclockwise for lighter (down to ~2.5 lb). No disassembly required.
