Christensen Arms Pre-Fit Barrel Features The Christensen Arms Pre-Fit Barrel is built around a 416R stainless steel core that is button rifled for consistent accuracy then wrapped in carbon fiber to reduce overall weight without sacrificing the rigidity a long-range 6.5 PRC barrel needs. Both the Sporter and Target profile options start at a 1.20 inch diameter and taper down to .920 inch sharing the same internal steel core so shooters get the same accuracy potential regardless of which contour they choose. Sporter barrels taper off quickly making them the lighter choice for carrying through the field on a hunt while Target barrels taper gradually for added rigidity suited to long-range precision shooting. A muzzle end thread protector ships with the barrel to keep the 22 inch threaded muzzle protected until a suppressor or muzzle device is installed. Because this barrel is currently offered specifically for Remington 700 actions it is designed as a direct pre-fit upgrade rather than a barrel requiring extensive gunsmith fitting. The carbon fiber wrap not only trims weight compared to a traditional steel barrel of the same length but also helps manage heat during strings of fire keeping point of impact more consistent as the barrel warms. Christensen Arms built its reputation on lightweight accurate rifle components and this pre-fit barrel brings that same engineering to shooters upgrading an existing Remington 700 platform. Whether chasing game at distance or refining a long-range precision setup this barrel gives Remington 700 owners a proven path to improved accuracy in the increasingly popular 6.5 PRC cartridge.
