The Christensen Arms MPR Competition in .223 Remington is a match-ready folding chassis rifle with a 26-inch threaded barrel and an installed side baffle muzzle brake (brand part no. 801-03061-00). Christensen Arms builds it for competitive shooters, with a TriggerTech Special flat-shoe trigger, a vertical grip with thumb rest and a 17-inch FFT carbon fiber handguard. The stainless 416R barrel runs a 1:8 twist, and Tungsten Cerakote is the only color the maker lists for this model. It is the version to choose for stage-based matches that call for a .223 Remington rifle with a long 26-inch barrel.

Key Specifications

• The rifle is chambered in .223 Remington, the cartridge that sets the ammunition and ballistics for this build.
• The barrel measures 26 inches, the length Christensen Arms lists for this chambering.
• Rate of twist is 1:8, the rifling Christensen Arms pairs with this chambering and barrel length.
• The barrel is 416R stainless steel, button rifled with a match chamber.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so the installed brake can come off for another thread-on muzzle device.
• An adjustable side baffle muzzle brake in stainless steel with a black Cerakote finish comes installed and removes for other muzzle devices.
• The trigger is a TriggerTech unit with a Special flat shoe, the match-oriented trigger Christensen Arms fits to this model.
• The finish is Tungsten Cerakote with FFT carbon fiber, the only color Christensen Arms lists for the MPR Competition.
• The barrel is free floating, so only the receiver supports it and the barrel stays clear of the handguard.
