Christensen Arms MPR Competition 6.5 PRC 26″

The Christensen Arms MPR Competition 6.5 PRC 26″ is a factory-built precision rifle that skips the build-it-yourself route and delivers a ready-to-run long-range platform. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, it pairs a 26-inch stainless steel barrel with a carbon fiber handguard and an adjustable tactical stock, all wrapped in a Tungsten Anodized finish. This is a competition-ready bolt gun designed for shooters who demand repeatable sub-MOA accuracy without the gunsmith wait.

Key Features

• 26″ Stainless Steel Barrel: The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes 140-160 grain 6.5 PRC projectiles, giving you the velocity window to push past 1,200 yards without losing supersonic stability.
• Adjustable Tactical Stock: Cheek riser and length-of-pull adjustments let you dial in a consistent cheek weld, which is critical for maintaining the same head position shot after shot.
• Carbon Fiber Handguard: Reduces weight forward of the action, helping the rifle balance near the magazine well for easier positional shooting from barricades or tripods.
• Tungsten Anodized Finish: Corrosion resistance that holds up to wet match days and humid range bags. This isn’t a safe queen finish.
• AICS Magazine Compatibility: Drop-in with standard AICS pattern magazines, so you can run 5-round or 10-round setups without proprietary hardware.

Who It’s For

This rifle targets the PRS competitor, the ELR hobbyist, and the hunter who wants a single gun for both 600-yard steel and elk at 400. If you’re tired of bedding actions and truing receivers, the MPR Competition gives you a factory-tuned platform that’s ready for a match this weekend.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box. Christensen Arms test-fires each rifle and includes a target.
• Pro: Light enough to carry on a mountain hunt but stiff enough for a barricade stage.
• Con: The 6.5 PRC has more recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor, so follow-up shots on a timer require solid fundamentals. It’s not a beginner’s caliber.
