    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Yeah that's pretty odd, perhaps it's a coincidence but I wonder if one of their machines is off somewhere and the barrels or actions coming off of it are not concentric or something

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Hey that sounds familiar lol, my first shot of the day was always high right, I was just guessing cold bore to some extent but I've never experienced it with another rifle. My rifle should be arriving Monday or Tuesday to Christensen and we shall see what happens. I hope it gets sorted and I...

    I'd imagine it gets more attention to detail and strict specs. Maybe test firing and such as well. A little extra care on the assembly end can make a huge difference.

    This TAC A1 feels much more like the heavy side of that argument. The MPR feels quite comfy to move around, it's a bit lighter for sure. If I can get the accuracy on par. A bit jelly of your TFM, what caliber?

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    I emailed eurooptic and was told basically that I was smoking the barrel and that it's not designed for any high volume of fire, and that anything more than 5 rounds at a time is abusing it. Which I was told by Christensen that this weapon is a good choice for PRS so I'd assume it should hold...

    Bergara HMR heavy bolt lift when hot.

    A little more break in time it'll probably loosen up. Only time I've had sticky bolt on a bergara was with hornady superformance which was way too hot. I've been told that hornady brass is soft tho. Havent had an issue with norma. No scratches or anything on cases to indicate a bur in...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    I would imagine the whole process of bonding/wrapping the barrels, turning them, stress relief and other work going into it adds several compounding factors. I see the benefit of CF Barrels, and this, while disappointing, has not turned me off to them. CA's machine work is very good, I see...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    It was a hot swap. I fired first 10, rolled over to spotting scope and he fired last 10 right after. It kept walking down. I keep hearing shooter error, some of it is, no one is perfect. but there is an issue with the weapon. I can shoot a Tac A1 half to 3/4 moa from a bag and atlas. My CTR...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    The goal is to cut weight and still maintain accuracy. it is also intended to cool faster. The idea for me was a semi-light weight rifle I could stretch to hunt at distance with a suppressor. It would be subjected to multiple rounds back to back at some times. I hunt coyotes, as well as...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Does not appear so, 12 o'clock position on brake still. I'm aware there is "nothing beneficial to getting a barrel hot" except that it shows a big issue with the system, groups should open up not walk away. And it has only fired maybe 2 groups that were within MOA and even a terrible gun will...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Well... here's my update: I double checked all torque specs, and I swapped scopes to my Viper PST. I fired 10 rounds to get it warm and foul the barrel. I brought another shooter and my wife with me today. My first 5 shot group with 130gr Federal Gold Medal Berger: I fired a second group...

    Hmmmm... keep us informed how that goes. I'm going to give it one last shot this weekend to see how it goes. My new grip arrived last night and it definitely feels much better.

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Before I took it out the first time I removed, cleaned and retorqued everything with proper lockers. I double checked it all prior to second. I'm probably going to take my 700 out of its chassis and take off the scope so I can swap it all over on the next outing. Just to eliminate any scope...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Perhaps it was missed, but between 2 outings it has been fired quite a bit by myself and another shooter. A 3rd shooter fired 2 groups thru it. None of us could achieve 5 shot MOA. Milhous is from Alaska and grew up shooting long range as well as hunting. He was shooting .75 moa with his...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    At this point I'm going to email christensen. I am going to give it one more shot at the range with myself and another shooter from a solid rest. Will update sometime next week when I get to the range. This is my weekend to work nights. Yay.

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    The large cluster of shots was at the end of the day. All of it was 140gr American Gunner. Literally the last shots fired. Now I was also shooting multiple different ammos for the other stuff in post 2. I'm also shooting from a relatively uncomfortable patch of ground. I usually shoot...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    While I agree the grip is trash, and I was looking at an ergo large, MPA enhanced and a few others, I also admit I am no sniper. My point is I'm almost 200 rounds in and I've not had a single grouping I'd be happy with. I'm going to take my 700 out of my KRG chassis and swap over the timney...

    += MPR VS CTR =+ The AMMO: THE TEST: 2x 5 shot groups per rifle of each ammo type 10 rounds fired consecutively, with a short pause between strings of 5. Rifles allowed 15 min to cool between each 10 shot string. Barrels cool to the touch. Both optics run at 14x magnification Same rest &...

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Well, I was finally able to get out to the range again with the "Good Ammo" that I had on hand. I am a bit less than pleased. Initial Review was here: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/christensen-arms-mpr-initial-review.6879393/ But, I wanted to post this as a thread of it's own due...

    My Larue 6.5 ultimate upper project

    I've been eying one of these as well as the Seekins SP10, this being much more affordable. Curious how well they shoot because reviews are sparse.
