- I surprisingly won my new Christensen Arms MPR at auction. I didn't need another 6.5 Creedmoor, but this new rifle has a great reputation, from a rifle maker based in Utah, USA. This review will be ongoing as there will be many cartridge recipes tested and shown to you the viewer.

Puts the first 3 shots in one hole "well I don't know what to say". Well Dave, We will say that we appreciate your video. Congrats on winning it at an auction!
Thanks for watching and the kind words.
7:51 well my fiance just bought hers in 7mm PRC. Im sold on the MPR!
As a reloader and shooter myself I know that feeling after you shot that third round. I saw the smile on your face. It's just something about it when it comes together. Which in this situation is sweet because you didnt really have to work for it plus simplifies your reloading as you get 2 for one. I wish I could find those gold dots. Good bullet on game. On that break in procedure stuff I just dont believe in it but if its makes u sleep better sleep well. Sweet rifle and thanks for video. Keep them coming
We shall see on the next 4 loads with different bullets and bullet weights. Yeah the cleaning regiment seems a bit much, but the didn't write those instructions for their rifles just because they had extra ink to put in the manual, HaHa!
Great info Dave. I just bought that rifle this week, so I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible on my new firearm. Thanks
Best wishes for you and your new rifle. Thanks for watching.
Dave. Wow, that was an amazing group. Nice shooting gun for sure. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks Bobcat.
I bought this rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and put a Arken EP5 5-25X56 FFP MIL scope on it ...I will be shooting this rifle this weekend (Lord willing) at 100 - 800 yrds. I can not wait!
Best wishes for you and your new rifle. Thanks for your comment here.
Hi Dave - Thanks for all your videos. I believe you are an honest and sincere man, and a Christian man who loves the Lord. Like you, I am a follower of Jesus and I love the Lord, and I am so thankful that a person like yourself is allowed on youtube!
@@2003mikec Thanks for the kind words and may our Lords blessings be with you and yours.
That is accuracy that I can only dream about. I think you made a great investment there Dave.
Thanks Guy. As the saying goes, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
Awesome video. Will try and find the follow-ups. Congrats on a real good rifle and load. Your mic seems bad. Thanks for the video.
Yes, I am low budget, therefore not studio quality.
That's outstanding Dave....you should be excited!
We shall see Sandy. I will be shooting other bullet weights to measure against my Bergara. Thanks for watching.
Dave How about saying Yes Sir Ree. That's a superb group. Glad to see your formula works flawlessly .
HaHa! Yes Sir Ree! We shall see on the next group of loads if this shot pattern repeats. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I give you greetings from Armenia Dave. Excellent rifle, congratulations on the purchase.
Thanks for watching.
Your luck is holding out ! Great shooting and group
As the old saying goes " I'd rather be lucky than good" Thanks for watching.
Load development is done. Nice! 😁 I wouldn't touch the brake with it shooting groups like that.
We shall see Rusty. Next few tests will tell a better story.
You mentioned the only items that were not manufactured by Christensen Arms, but you missed the trigger is made by Trigger Tech
Yes I did. Thanks for the correction.
Nice group. I load for 2 different rifles with the same load. Both rifles shoot great in 6.5 creedmoor
That's good to know. Thanks for your input here.
Looks like a keeper to me 😊
Yes, but it is load sensitive. Thanks for watching and for your comment here.
Thanks, Dave.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I think I’d leave the LOP alone, especially after that group. Nice shooting
Thanks Andy.
Great presentation, thank you
Thanks for watching.
Nice shooting!
Thanks for watching.
Great accuracy! I'm sure your skill and ability have a lot to do with it though. Have you found any problems with magazine wiggling in the well? Another reviewer noticed it with the rifle he was reviewing and believes it may have been an isolated problem. He also had a problem with inconsistent accuracy and thought that the 2 problems could be somehow related. However, that was chambered in .300PRC.
No I have not noticed "mag wiggle". My rifle, like any rifle does prefer some ammo over others, but all in all, I have to say my rifle is consistently a 1 MOA rifle and more than satisfactory for my hunting uses. studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPLXqfgzMyk7eEau_mpD6ys0qUmXrxSCE1B/edit
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 It looks like a fantastic rifle!
It isn't their precision build, but christensen's ca5five6 is one of my favorite rifles of all time. Easy sub-MOA groupings at 100yds with a crappy rimfire scope, and with good glass I'm sure it can accurately touch things around 600yds out. I'm glad to see the consistency of their craftsmanship, your review makes me want to grab the MPR as well.
Thanks for your comment. See more of my CA MPR follow up videos in my playlist for a more complete review.
Good group 👍 couple more clicks and your on
Made it look easy
Thanks, But I think pure luck worked into the first shots. HaHa!
Looks like a keeper!
As the saying goes, so far so good...Thanks for your comment.
Dave, looks like you have a shooter there! What was that a 1/4" to 3/8" group? She'll be a deer slayer for you!!!
More luck group than measurable. We shall see with more different loadings soon.
Do you have specifications on the load you were shooting? Can’t do better than that!
In this case, 140gn Speer gold dot. 41.0gns Win. 760 Hornady cases. Winchester LR primer. Coal set to Speers test length. See my other loads in my Christensen Arms MPR playlist also. Thanks for watching.
Can i ask your recipe? I'm looking at getting one of these rifles in the same caliber. To me 140 grain is the perfect bullet weight for the Creedmoor. I love Speer gold dots and Barnes triple shocks and have both of them loaded in my 6.5 Grendel just curious on what kind of powder and how many grains you used to be so successful with that tight group. Thanks for sharing this video
In this case of this video 41.0gns of H-4350. But I strongly suggest to follow the bullet makers data and start low and work up cautiously within their guidlines. Thanks for watching.
Old boy is from Texas no doubt
Born there. But as my Dad always reminded me, Where ever I go, my Texas roots will always be with me.
After you shot that group, you looked at the camera as if it happens all the time. That's what I would have done, too. 😉
HaHa! Far from it...
I've heard the carbon fiber doesn't get hot in the sun like black aluminum? Also heard that type of barrel loses accuracy when hot from shooting? Not a problem hunting but be careful if load development takes 30-50 rounds(having to deep clean every 6 shots will allow cooling ! joking). Seems like the perfect rifle for you, light weight and accurate.
Carbon fiber wrapped barrel is new to me and a more expensive process than regular steel barrels, but supposedly the carbon fiber helps tp dissipate heat more efficiently and is stronger to help mitigate barrel whip.. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Whats the barrel length on that beauty?
24 inches
Just wondering did you end up following their break in process ?? Thank you !!
Yes I did...But after 50 rounds I returned to my normal regiment.
It don’t get much gooder than that.
We shall see on the continued load development. Thanks for watching.
What's the point of their "break in" process? What's it really doing?
According to their manual, they call it "Properly Seasoning a barrel" so it will maintain it's accuracy for the life of the barrel. The purpose is to eliminate any imperfections that may have occurred during the machining process, therefore making the barrel less likely to foul or accumulate copper or carbon.
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 hmmm🤔 well the barrel starts eroding away just from shooting itself, I don't think a little burr really has a chance lol whether you do a "break in or not lol. Especially when you start getting into cartridges like the 6.5 prc.
The fire cracking grabs copper also. Some break in isn't gonna stop that from happening.
I’m looking at getting a MPR soon but I’ve been watching other reviews and people talking about it’s a hit or miss with accuracy, any thoughts on this? I’m looking at getting one chambered in 6.5 PRC
Mine had to be sent back for repair and their service is excellent. I got mine because it is lighter weight than my other chassis rifles, so it would serve as a hunting rifle quite well. Can't speak for the 6.5 PRC or what anyone else's experiences are. Feel free to see my Christensen Arms playlist and see it in action with various loads and compare to my other Creedmoors.th-cam.com/play/PLXqfgzMyk7eEau_mpD6ys0qUmXrxSCE1B.html
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Thanks for the reply, do you mind me asking what was wrong with it? I’m stuck between this rifle or a Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro in 6.5 creedmoor
@@ZephlinSpeed1050 Sure from the factory the handguard/ barrel and muzzle brake were misaligned to where the handguard was touching the barrel and the brake was off center. They paid for shipping both ways and I got it back in 9 days. It does shoot sub MOA if I do my part. I have no experience Daniel Defense. But as stated, I got my Christensen arms new on Gunbroker for $1,090. So quite a bit lower than MSRP.
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 That seems like some good customer service then for sure. I think I might settle for the MPR in 6.5 PRC, it's such a good looking gun. Good video keep it up
@@zephlinhumbertson3002 They make 2 versions,. one with the carbon fiber wrapped barrel and one with a steel barrel that is less expensive but 2lbs heavier. Best of luck to you on your purchace.
Is the aluminum billet receiver a concern as far as durability, toughness, accuracy etc?
As far as "Durability, toughness" is concerned, I now gave about 100 rounds through this rifle and it is doing fine indeed. Accuracy shows this rifle to like the 129- 147 grain weight bullets. Thanks for your question.
Which scope are you using?
In this video, Ohhunt 6-24x50 FFP.
What optic are you running?
Ohhunt Guardian 6-24x50 FFP
oh boy, they recommend a break in process, bless their soul 🤦🏻♂️. It sounds like they just want to sound smart lol.
If you look at all the issues they've had with accuracy, maybe their pricess isnt the best way.
it wasn’t for me
Thanks John for your comment. Question's. Factory Ammo? Handloads? Accuracy issues or Mechanical issues?
