Christensen Arms 308 Winchester 16'' Ss Target Contour 1-10 Twist Cf Barrel
A Christensen Arms 308 Winchester barrel engineered for precision shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. This 16-inch stainless steel target-contour barrel combines match-grade 416R stainless steel construction with Christensen's aerospace-derived carbon-fiber technology to deliver the kind of consistency that separates competitive shooters and long-range hunters from the rest. The 1-10 twist rate stabilizes modern 308 Winchester loads across a wide range of bullet weights, making this barrel equally at home in a precision rifle build, competition rig, or dedicated accuracy platform.
Christensen Arms barrels are engineered to exacting tolerances—the barrel lining is measured to +/- .0001 precision—and wrapped in a proprietary carbon-fiber composite design that minimizes harmonic vibration while keeping weight down. That means faster lock times, less shot-to-shot drift, and the kind of group consistency that won't disappoint on the range or in the field. If you're building or upgrading a Rem 700–compatible rifle and refuse to settle for off-the-shelf accuracy, this barrel delivers the performance that justifies the build.
The 16-inch length balances maneuverability with velocity retention, and the target contour profile provides the rigidity high-precision work demands. Whether you're tuning a benchrest rifle, developing competition loads, or chasing sub-MOA groups at distance, this barrel is built to perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this barrel Rem 700 compatible?
Yes. This barrel is designed for Rem 700 compatible actions and platforms.
What bullet weights does the 1-10 twist rate stabilize?
The 1-10 twist rate is optimized for modern 308 Winchester loads across a wide range of bullet weights. Consult your specific load data and bullet manufacturer recommendations for your exact setup.
What makes the carbon-fiber construction different from a standard steel barrel?
Christensen's proprietary layered carbon-fiber design reduces harmonic vibration and shot-to-shot drift while keeping overall weight down. This translates to improved accuracy consistency and faster lock times—key advantages in precision shooting and competition.
Is this barrel ready to shoot out of the box?
This is a barrel blank. Installation requires appropriate gunsmithing tools and knowledge, or professional installation by a qualified gunsmith. Do not attempt to install without proper expertise.
