The Christensen Arms ELR 6.5 PRC is a long-action, extreme-distance bolt rifle with a 26-inch carbon-wrapped barrel (brand part no. 8010700100). Christensen Arms starts with a 416R stainless steel target-profile barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber, free floated, button rifled and match chambered. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and carries a removable titanium side-port brake for recoil control. An integral 20-MOA Picatinny rail gives extra elevation travel, and an adjustable carbon fiber composite stock lets the shooter set the fit. It is built for hunters and long-range shooters whose idea of a normal shot starts at 1,000 yards.
