Precision in a backcountry rifle means more than tight groups — it means a platform engineered to perform reliably under real-world conditions. For shooters who demand lightweight handling, modern materials, and a familiar stock profile, this rifle balances classic ergonomics with cutting-edge components for tactical and field use.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS TRAVERSE is a full-size .22-250 Rem rifle configured 4+1 with a 24″ natural stainless steel threaded barrel and a natural stainless aluminum receiver. The Traverse pairs a classic Monte-Carlo carbon fiber composite gunstock — finished black with gray webbing and a raised comb — with a light target-contour Christensen Arms carbon fiber wrapped barrel and a stainless steel side-baffle brake, delivering a controlled, vibration-damped firing platform at a starting weight of about 7.3 pounds.

Tactical features and engineering

The Traverse is built around precision-focused hardware: a 0-MOA optic rail for zero-offset mounting, a bottom picatinny rail for accessories, and a threaded muzzle for modular muzzle devices or suppressors. The carbon fiber-wrapped barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity for consistent harmonics; the stainless steel side-baffle brake tames recoil and helps keep follow-up shots on target. Christensen Arms backs the rifle with a Sub-MOA Guarantee, underlining the manufacturer’s confidence in its factory accuracy.

Why the .22-250 Rem fits this package

.22-250 Rem offers a very flat trajectory and high velocity in a light-recoiling package, making it ideal for varmint control, extended sighting work, and point-blank precision at mid-range. When matched to the Traverse’s lightweight carbon-wrapped barrel and stable Monte-Carlo stock, shooters get fast target acquisition and controllable follow-ups in field scenarios.

For optics and accessory planning, the 0-MOA rail simplifies zeroing and the picatinny under-rail accepts bipods or lights without altering the stock profile. The fixed Monte-Carlo with a raised comb supports consistent cheek weld for repeatable sight alignment. View product details and pricing to compare configurations and add-ons.
