The Christensen Arms BA Tactical 6mm Creedmoor Bolt Action Rifle is a precision long-range rig built for shooters who demand consistency at distance. Chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, this rifle pairs a Black Nitride action with a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel target barrel and a removable stainless baffle muzzle brake. The fixed, adjustable long-range composite stock gives you a custom fit with adjustable length of pull and comb height, and it accepts AICS detachable magazines. Ships with a single 5-round magazine and backed by Christensen Arms’ Sub-MOA Guarantee. If you want a ready-to-run tactical rifle that shoots tiny groups right out of the box, this is it.
