“We’re excited to have Bennie participating in this new style of rifle competition,” said Stephen Graham, Senior VP of Marketing, Christensen Arms. “Cooley will have an advantage by using our Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) chambered in 6.5 PRC. It’s as if the MPR was built for the NRL Hunter Series and we can’t wait to see what he can do with this amazing rifle.”

The MPR is an ultra-lightweight chassis rifle designed to break with tradition. Beyond the folding stock, the complete package is well-equipped with a target contour Christensen Arms carbon fiber barrel, carbon fiber comb, free-floating carbon fiber handguard and a 20 MOA rail.

The MPR weighs in starting at 6.9 pounds and is backed by the Christensen Arms Sub-MOA Guarantee.

“I cannot stress enough how well this series matches up for the Christensen Arms MPR,” said Bennie Cooley, Christensen Arms’ professional shooter. “The MPR will be a driving force in this series and is certain to dominate it. I can’t wait to get out there and unleash the precision of this incredible rifle!”
