Both models share a robust 7075 billet aluminum chassis, lightweight design, and folding stock, enhancing portability and functionality. The MPR Rimfire is offered in black, desert brown, or tungsten Cerakote, and integrates the TriggerTech\u00ae trigger system, consistent with its centerfire counterpart. However, unlike the original MPR, the MPR Rimfire utilizes Ruger\u00ae 10\/22 magazines and is chambered in rimfire calibers such as .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. Additionally, the MPR Rimfire promises a sub-MOA guarantee at 50 yards, leveraging the same carbon fiber technology for enhanced accuracy and performance in a more lightweight and transportable design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Christensen Arms rifle on wooden table with range finder and chronograph\" class=\"wp-image-204494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5015.jpg 1483w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Getting some range time in with the Garmin XERO chronograph, and Vortex Ranger 4000GB <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mpr-rimfire-out-of-the-box\">MPR Rimfire Out of the Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the factory, the MPR Rimfire comes with one 10-round Ruger rotary magazine, an Allen wrench, gun oil, ear plugs, a&nbsp;sticker, target-proving sub-MOA groups from 50 yards, and an owner&#8217;s manual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Unboxing the Christensen Arms MPR Rimfire\" class=\"wp-image-204098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4895.jpg 1385w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Christensen Arms MPR Rimfire with all included contents from the factory&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-folding-stock\">Folding Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One standout feature of the MPR Rimfire is its folding stock, which employs MagneLock\u2122 technology to secure the bolt when folded, ensuring it remains immobile during transport.

The carbon fiber cheek riser is&nbsp;comfortable and helps shield against ambient temperatures. With a 1\u2033 adjustable riser range and a length of pull adjustable from 12.5\u2033 to 14.5\u2033, it can be precisely tailored to fit your size and shooting style. Although these adjustments require an Allen wrench rather than being toolless, they hold firmly once set. The stock is also compatible with standard AR grips and includes six QD mounts, making it a versatile and highly functional part of the MPR Rimfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"carbon fiber cheek riser on Christensen Arms MPR Rimfire\" class=\"wp-image-204495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5013.jpg 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FFT carbon fiber cheek riser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chassis\">Chassis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Built from 7075 aluminum, the chassis serves as the backbone of this rifle, providing a lightweight yet durable foundation.&nbsp;Using&nbsp;a billet aluminum chassis ensures a robust and consistent platform, a key component for maintaining the rifle&#8217;s accuracy and stability. Additionally, the chassis incorporates V-block bedding, providing a solid and repeatable interface between the action and the chassis.

The lever mag release sticks down far enough to be easily released. This design facilitates seamless and effective magazine changes. Additionally, the front of the magwell features a machined barricade stop with a &#8220;flat&#8221; surface, offering a stable point of contact for shooting from barricades or other surfaces. The rifle also supports AR-style grips, providing versatility in grip options, with the included Magpul MOE-K grip offering a minimalist yet functional choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"mag release on Christensen Arms MPR rimfire\" class=\"wp-image-204498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5008.jpg 1358w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lever mag release and flat front face that worked as a barricade stop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-action\">Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPR Rimfire features a small yet adequate bolt handle. Equipped with dual extractors, the rifle is designed for reliably extracting spent cartridges. The bolt is also sort of a rectangular shape which I thought was interesting, but it works and helps decrease weight while still getting the job done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"bolt face with dual extractors from bolt action rifle\" class=\"wp-image-204099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4899.jpg 1452w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rectangular-shaped bolt face with dual extractors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The action includes a 0-MOA top Picatinny rail fastened down, allowing for easy mounting of optics and accessories suitable for rimfire applications. While I would prefer to see a 20-MOA rail machined into the action, I never had the top rail work loose during testing. This has happened to me with other rifles in the past, so a single-piece system seems to be the best option to me even though the MPR Rimfire ran great as it is. While the bolt action&nbsp;itself&nbsp;can be described as pretty gritty, it seems reasonable for a rimfire rifle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-handguard\">Handguard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPR Rimfire also features a 10.5&#8243; or 14&#8243; Flash Forged Technology (FFT) carbon fiber handguard. It has M-LOK\u00ae compatibility, which adds to its lightweight design. This handguard not only supports various accessories but also helps to dissipate heat. The FFT carbon fiber also looks amazing&nbsp;in my opinion&nbsp;while feeling great in my hands. While there is no top Picatinny rail, the&nbsp;slimmed-down&nbsp;profile is a great option for this lightweight bolt gun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Christensen Arms MPR Rimfire on wooden table with scope and small bipod\" class=\"wp-image-204499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5011.jpg 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Handguard features M-LOK slots on the bottom allowing for mounting accessories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trigger-on-the-mpr-rimfire\">Trigger on the MPR Rimfire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPR Rimfire utilizes a flat-faced Remington 700 compatible <a href=\"https:\/\/triggertech.com\/collections\/bolt-action\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"christensen-mpr-rimfire-review-nrl22-hunting-and-more\" title=\"Christensen MPR Rimfire Review!

I set it to 2.5&nbsp;lbs&nbsp;which felt much better and worked great for an NRL22 match I competed in.

It features a lightweight contour and shot great as I will elaborate on later. The carbon fiber sleeve is precisely tensioned to mitigate common issues associated with lightweight barrel designs. It incorporates a standard thread pitch of 1\/2 x 28. Also, it includes features such as a match chamber and precision lapping for enhanced performance. Between the carbon fiber barrel and handguard, there is hardly any foreword weight making this rifle very maneuverable. It also proved to be a great host for mounting a suppressor. Let me tell you, there is hardly a gun more fun to shoot than a suppressed 22. This was a blast, and ridiculously quiet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Carbon fiber barrel on Christensen Arms rifle\" class=\"wp-image-204100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4896.jpg 1470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carbon Tension Barrel with 416R rifled core featuring a 1\/2 x 28 muzzle threads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-precision\">Precision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have been talking about all the cool things packed into the MPR Rimfire, but how does it&nbsp;actually&nbsp;shoot? Throughout this review, I have hundreds of rounds through this rifle. It is still shooting sub-MOA groups with premium Norma ammunition among others. I even used this rifle at an NRL22 match where I used 40gr <a href=\"https:\/\/normausa.com\/product\/dedicated-rimfire\/22lr-match-22-40-gr-50-qty\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"christensen-mpr-rimfire-review-nrl22-hunting-and-more\" title=\"Christensen MPR Rimfire Review! NRL22, Hunting, and More!\">Norma MATCH-22<\/a> with great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christensen Arms backs this rifle with an impressive guarantee of sub-MOA accuracy at 50 yards. To verify this claim firsthand, I conducted multiple shooting sessions at 50 yards with various types of ammunition. While 5-round groups naturally exhibit slightly larger variations compared to cherry-picked 3-round groups, they provide a more comprehensive assessment of the rifle&#8217;s performance with different&nbsp;types of ammo.

It shoots incredibly softly, stupidly quiet when suppressed, and groups very well. It is a versatile system and has allowed me to run it in&nbsp;all sorts of different&nbsp;configurations. I shot an NRL22 match where I was able&nbsp;to successfully engage targets out to 320 yards.&nbsp;For my first match ever, I ended up placing 8\/23 in the open division. I was stacked against competitors with rifles mostly 3-5 times more expensive than this rifle. While the heavier rifles they were using would be ideal for long-range competition shooting, this lightweight MPR Rimfire can do it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Man shooting the Christensen Arms MPR Rimfire against a wooden post\" class=\"wp-image-204501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5007.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the many different shooting positions from the NRL22 match I competed in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for fun, I was even able to hit a target at 502 yards. This ended up being roughly a 31.9 mil hold. In a case like this, a 20 MOA rail would have been ideal. My only issue with this rifle was that after shooting suppressed the gun got rather gummed up. I had just a couple of instances at my NRL22 match where the rifle jammed, and the magazine didn&#8217;t freely eject. When it jammed, I had to push up on the mag while working the action. Then when the mag didn&#8217;t drop freely, I found it much easier to push it out from the top when the bolt was to the rear rather then trying to pull it out from the bottom. However, suppressed rimfire rifles are very dirty, and this issue is not unique to this rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hunting\">Hunting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also ran it with a <a href=\"https:\/\/pulsarnv.com\/products\/pulsar-thermion-2-lrf-xp50-pro\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"christensen-mpr-rimfire-review-nrl22-hunting-and-more\" title=\"Christensen MPR Rimfire Review!

This was ideal for varmints but despite what your momma told you, even 22lr can still take down medium-sized game.
