Christensen Arms Modern Precision 308 Win 16" Rifle, 5rd, Threaded Barrel - Black

The Christensen Arms Modern Precision is a lightweight, precision-built rifle designed for hunters and shooters who demand accuracy without sacrificing portability. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 16-inch threaded barrel, this tactical rifle strips away tradition in favor of modern materials and engineering—carbon fiber throughout, a folding stock, and a 20 MOA rail that's ready for serious optics. At 6.9 pounds, it's built to go the distance whether you're glassing from a ridge or setting up for a long-range shot.

What sets the Modern Precision apart is the obsessive attention to weight savings and rigidity. The barrel is a Christensen Arms 416R stainless steel aerograde with carbon fiber wrapping, paired with a target contour that promotes consistency. The chassis is 7075 aluminum billet with hardcoat anodize, and the handguard is carbon fiber with M-LOK slots. Every component—action, barrel, rail, even the skeletonized bolt handle—was chosen to shed ounces without compromising strength or precision.

The rifle ships with an adjustable side-baffle muzzle brake (removable, 5/8×24 threaded), a match-grade flat trigger, and AICS-compatible magazine compatibility. The folding stock uses locking hinges and Magnelock technology, giving you a compact package that still offers adjustable length of pull (12.5–14.5 inches) and a carbon fiber cheek riser. You get six QD mounts and barricade steps for field use. Backed by Christensen Arms' Sub-MOA Guarantee, this is a rifle built to deliver.

Whether you're hunting western game, competing in precision matches, or running a tactical rifle course, the Modern Precision balances lightweight carry with the accuracy and modularity serious shooters expect. The black nitride finish and modern aesthetic make it as functional in a pack as it is on the bench.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this rifle compatible with standard AR grips and AICS magazines?

Yes. The Modern Precision accepts standard AR-compatible grips and uses AICS-compatible detachable magazines. The magazine release is tactical-style for smooth field operation.

Can I use a suppressor on this rifle?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is standard for .308 suppressors. The included adjustable side-baffle muzzle brake is removable, so you can mount a suppressor directly to the barrel threads.

What is the folding stock like, and how adjustable is the length of pull?

The stock features locking hinges and Magnelock technology for secure deployment and compact storage when folded. The length of pull adjusts from 12.5 to 14.5 inches to fit different body types and shooting positions. An adjustable carbon fiber cheek riser helps maintain consistent sight picture across those settings.

What optics rail does this rifle use, and will my scope mount?

The Modern Precision includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail that is compatible with standard Remington 700 optics bases. Any scope mount designed for a Rem 700 pattern rail will work. The 20 MOA angle is ideal for long-range .308 shooting.

How light is this rifle, and why does weight matter?

The Modern Precision starts at 6.9 pounds, making it one of the lightest precision rifles in its class. Light weight matters for backcountry hunters, overlanders, and shooters who move between positions—less fatigue means better accuracy when it counts, and it's easier to pack into remote country.
