The Christensen Arms BA Tactical rifle in .308 Winchester with a compact 16-inch threaded barrel (brand part no. CA10271-488481) is built for long-range tactical and precision shooting in a shorter, more maneuverable package. Christensen Arms pairs the threaded barrel with a 1-in-10 twist rate, and the rifle feeds from a 5+1-round detachable magazine. At a 41.5-inch overall length, this compact BA Tactical configuration handles more easily in tight positions than its longer-barreled siblings. Among compact tactical bolt action rifles, this BA Tactical configuration favors shooters who want a more maneuverable platform for close-to-mid-range precision work.
