FAQ
Is the Christensen Arms MPR RIMFIRE compatible with 10/22 magazines?
No, it is not. The Christensen Arms MPR RIMFIRE uses its own proprietary magazine system, designed specifically for the .17 HMR cartridge and this action for optimal reliability.
How does the carbon fiber barrel benefit a .17 HMR rifle?
While the .17 HMR isn’t a high-heat round, the carbon fiber wrap adds significant stiffness to the barrel without the weight of a heavy steel contour. This stiffness minimizes barrel whip and vibration, contributing directly to the rifle’s excellent accuracy potential.
