Does any one here have experience with the Christensen MPR ?

https://christensenarms.com/modern-precision-rifle/

I have been toying with the idea of a Tikka CTR or chassis bolt gun for some time. The idea of a heavy “belly shooting” only bolt gun seems limiting and I like the idea of the lighter weight MPR as a light precision / General Purpose bolt gun.

The MPR seems to be just what I am looking for and it is about $1k less than Q’s Fix.

Any positive or negative experiences with Christensen rifles in general ? Or with their carbon fiber wrapped barrels ?

It uses Remington 700 optics mounts and takes AICS mags.

I know Kyle Lamb has been a proponent of earlier Christensen rifles and he sold their AR barrels on his VTAC site.

I admire the Christensen hunting rifles at the "library" at my local Cabela's but of my price range - hope someone has experience to share.

The MPR is about $2k - not cheap but reasonable able compared to their $4k and up hunting guns.

This is very interesting. The light weight of the 16 inch .308 appeals to me. I wish it was a switch barrel.

I saw generally positive reviews there, though almost everyone there is running 6.5 Creedmore.

What chambering(s) are you considering?

There is a lightly used 20’ .308 availible local to me.

I have other .308’s so logistics are a factor.

The idea of this light chassis rifle is so interesting that I think I will take a road trip to handle one this week. Any suggestions for a scope? I think a heavy scope would comprise the handeling. Maybe two scopes would be the solution. A hunting scope and a target scope. My first thought was a Leupold 3-18x

Gravity can make any top-heavy LW rifle a handful.

What's your target use spec? Looking to stay MOA or Mil on both scopes? Budget?
