CHRISTENSEN ARMS MPR CHASSIS

[corey suir]

I have started my first rifle build and am looking for it to be an all around rifle. Something i can take to the rang and shoot out to distance and something i can bring in the woods and hunt with. After looking at only god knows how many different stocks and chassis i had it narrowed down to about a handful of options. They are as follow; mdt hnt26, mdt ess, krg whiskey 3,krg xray, xlr atom and christensen arms mpr.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with these chassis' being used as both a hunting and target rifle? I personally feel that the hnt26 is going to be to light for those long days at the range and that the mdt ess (4.5 lbs) might be getting a little heavy for hunting. This would leave the Christensen MPR and the XLR in the middle of the weights sitting roughly at 3.5 lbs apiece.

Any help in choosing a chassis would be appreciated. Also if there any other ones that i should look it please let me know.

I think I'm leaning towards the christensen mpr chassis. Has all the adjustability is 1 pound lighter than the mdt ess and folds

How long have you had it and how is it holding up. Is the chassis lacking in any area

I am also looking at a folding chassis and having trouble making up my mind. A fellow member on here mentioned that the MPA ultralight would be a good option as well. The thing I like about the Christensen is that it has the carbon fiber hand guard for colder days. The aluminum on the MPA I dont know that I'd like when it's below 30° but it is one piece so stronger for sure. Let us know what you decide.

I do not know what has changed. See #6.

It seemed like you had moved on to something different is all. I wasn't sure if you were still using it or moved on to something else.

No!

Yes!

I had looked at the MPA Ultra light also. I also think that the metal fore end will be a major draw back for hunting during the winter
