Overview: Christensen Arms Traverse Bolt Action Rifle
The Christensen Arms Traverse is engineered for demanding backcountry operations, integrating time-honored rifle styling with advanced material science. This platform delivers a blend of classic aesthetic and state-of-the-art performance, optimizing utility for the experienced enthusiast.
Key Features
Barrel System
The Traverse utilizes a light target contour Christensen Arms carbon fiber wrapped barrel, designed to mitigate weight while maintaining thermal stability and precision. This is complemented by an integrated stainless steel side-baffle muzzle brake, which effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing shot recovery for rapid follow-up engagements. The 27-inch barrel is threaded, providing adaptability for suppressors or alternative muzzle devices.
Stock and Ergonomics
The Monte-Carlo carbon fiber composite gunstock provides a classic interface, offering robust durability and significant weight reduction. Its design promotes consistent cheek weld for optimal optic alignment. The stock is finished in a distinctive black with gray webbing, enhancing both grip and visual appeal. A bottom Picatinny rail is integrated into the forend, allowing for the direct attachment of bipods, slings, or other rail-mounted accessories, thereby increasing functional versatility.
Receiver and Precision Interface
The action is paired with a 0-MOA optic rail, providing a direct, stable foundation for optic mounting without inducing inherent elevation bias. This precision-machined interface ensures secure optic integration, critical for consistent long-range accuracy.
Performance and Reliability
Weighing in at a starting point of 7.3 pounds, the Traverse is optimized for maneuverability and reduced carry fatigue in rugged environments. Its design and construction are focused on delivering reliable performance under varied field conditions. The rifle’s inherent precision is underscored by the manufacturer’s Sub-MOA guarantee of performance, validating its capability for tight group dispersion.
