If you’re spending a day at the range, hunting prairie dogs out west, or need a reliable rifle for Kansas deer season, accuracy and portability matter. The Christensen Arms MPR 6mm ARC delivers both. This bolt action rifle is built around a 16-inch carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel, keeping the weight down to 6.9 pounds. It’s a rifle you can comfortably carry across a field or pack into a vehicle.

The 6mm ARC cartridge offers a flat trajectory and manageable recoil. It performs well at distances out to 800 yards and beyond, making it a worthy choice for Kansas hunting or long-range shooting.

What This Rifle Does Well
This MPR is designed for those who prioritize a lightweight and compact precision rifle. The side-folding stock reduces the overall length for easier transport – fits nicely in a standard 36-inch rifle case. It’s a good fit for competition shooters participating in PRS Gas Gun or NRL Hunter matches, or for hunters who cover a lot of ground.
The 1/2×28 threaded muzzle allows you to attach a suppressor or muzzle brake to fine-tune performance. It comes with a thread protector cap if you choose to run it without an attachment.
Things to Consider
The 16-inch barrel will result in slightly lower velocities compared to longer barrels. Expect around 2,650 fps with 108-grain ELD-M loads. However, this doesn’t hinder its effectiveness at longer ranges. The carbon fiber wrap on the barrel provides excellent stiffness without adding weight, maintaining consistent accuracy.
