Now that I have your attention... This doesn't exist... Yet.
For those who don't know what the Christensen Arms MPR is, it's their "Modern Precision Rifle" which is built using their own 700 style action which is nitrided and features an oversized bolt handle and mini M16 style extractor. The MPR also uses their own lightweight chassis that features a carbon fiber Mlok forend, a fully adjustable right folding buttstock, and uses AICS pattern magazines. The rifle uses their own carbon wrapped 416R stainless barrels which are threaded and finished off with a very effective tunable muzzle brake. The MPR also uses the Triggertech Primary flat shoe trigger.
The MPR is geared towards those looking for a "do it all" style rifle that can be used for both hunting and long range shooting and is currently priced at $2295 - $2395 for current models.
Here's the current MPR models offered by Christensen Arms.
The idea behind offering a 223 1:7 chambering option is to expand the line on the smaller end to give shooters the option for a more cost effective to shoot and lighter recoil rifle for training or youth shooters as well as being an excellent small game varmint and predator rifle. The 1:7 twist will allow the shooter to shoot the high BC 75-90gr bullets but still have the ability to shoot most of the light weight ultra flat shooting varmint bullets or grab off the shelf 69r or 77gr match ammo. The 1:7 will allow for the widest range of ammo compatibility while being specifically tailored to the long high BC options that most precision shooters choose.
So how many would like to see this product come to market?
Also what would be your preferred barrel length?
The idea is to have a few barrel lengths to accommodate those who want a compact or possibly ultra compact packaged who may want to use a suppressor as well as a longer length for those who want the highest velocity and won't be using a suppressor or overall length with suppressor isn't a concern.
So lets hear it and get some support to hopefully get this product to market. Please participate in the poll and feel free to share your thoughts.
