Christensen Arms Model 14: Tactical Bolt Action with Vortex Scope

When a rifle needs to blend precision, portability, and thoughtful craftsmanship, you want a platform that doesn’t compromise. That balance is exactly what shooters look for when they need a capable bolt-action setup that can be carried into the field, deployed quickly, and deliver repeatable accuracy under real conditions.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS MODEL 14 — a compact bolt-action pistol configured with a folding stock, optics rail, spiral fluted bolt, carbon fiber handguard, muzzle brake, and a 10-round magazine — arrives ready to perform straight out of the crate, and it ships equipped with a Vortex Sonora 4-12X44MM scope to get you on target faster.

Design & Build: Lightweight, Rugged, and Thoughtful

The chassis of this pistol-style bolt action makes a statement: carbon fiber handguard for reduced weight without sacrificing rigidity, paired with a spiral fluted bolt that sheds weight and eases cycling. The folding stock turns a compact package into something even easier to transport or stow in a vehicle or pack. An optics rail gives a stable mounting platform for the included Vortex Sonora 4-12X44MM scope, making the system ready for a range of mission profiles.

Key features explained

One 10-round magazine provides a higher capacity than many pistol-length bolt systems while maintaining a compact profile. The muzzle brake tames recoil and reduces rise between shots, helping you track returns to target faster. The spiral fluted bolt not only reduces mass but also increases surface area for faster cooling and a cleaner look. These elements are balanced to keep swing weight low while ensuring the firing platform remains steady.

Optics & Shooting Performance

Equipped with a Vortex Sonora 4-12X44MM scope, the package offers a flexible optic for short to mid-range engagements. The 4-12x magnification range covers close targets with a wide field and extends out for precision work when you need it. Matched to the barrel and muzzle brake, the scope helps turn the setup into a compact precision rig suitable for ranch work, range days, or tactical training lanes.

Why the scope matters

Vortex optics are known for clear glass and durable construction at an accessible price point. When a rifle arrives ready-mounted, it removes the guesswork from scope selection and alignment, so you can focus on zeros and follow-up shots. This is especially valuable when working with a certified used firearm where a known-good optic comes included.

Handling, Ergonomics, and Practical Use

The folding stock changes the dynamic for storage and mobility — fold it for transport, deploy it for stable cheek weld and repeatability. The carbon fiber handguard keeps weight low along the barrel axis, improving muzzle control and reducing fatigue on extended carries. The optics rail provides ample real estate for zeroing accessories or backup sights if desired.

For those who value modularity, the legal and practical benefits of a pistol-length bolt-action system are clear: compact footprint, quick deployment, and simple maintenance. The muzzle brake does add length, but it delivers meaningful recoil mitigation that pairs well with the lighter overall package.

What certified used means to you

The certified program focuses on function and finish. For buyers who want to avoid surprises, the guarantee and return window are meaningful benefits. When a rifle arrives with a properly mounted Vortex scope and the features described — folding stock, spiral fluted bolt, carbon fiber handguard, muzzle brake, optics rail, and a 10-round magazine — you’re getting a ready-to-go system with real utility.

Maintenance, Accessories, and Upgrades

Routine maintenance on this platform is straightforward: keep the bolt and rail clean, ensure the scope mounts remain torqued, and check the muzzle device for secure fitment. The modular nature lets you add sling points, switch optics, or fit different muzzle devices if local rules and desired use recommend changes. Because the model listing shows ‘Various’ for specific model variants, confirm the barrel length and chambering with the retailer before adding aftermarket parts.
