CHRIS 8010312100 MPR FFT 22CRD 24 TNG
Pros & cons
What works
- Folds to 34.5 inches OAL — meets standard checked firearm case requirements for air travel.
- Carbon-wrapped 24-inch barrel dissipates heat 40% faster than an equivalent steel bull barrel during strings of fire.
- Integrated 20 MOA rail is machined as part of the chassis, eliminating a potential point of zero shift.
Trade-offs
- No case included — a significant oversight for a $2200 rifle designed for transport.
- At 12.8 lbs un-scoped, it's 2.5 lbs heavier than a standard-format hunting rifle in the same caliber.
- The skeletonized bolt handle provides minimal purchase for a gloved hand in cold conditions.

About this product
The CHRIS 8010312100 MPR FFT 22CRD 24 TNG is a precision-chassis bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range competition and field use. It was developed to satisfy the growing niche for a single rifle platform that can be reconfigured for multiple disciplines. I see it as a direct successor to the traditional custom-action chassis builds of the past decade, but with a focus on modularity and suppressor optimization that is essential for modern Title II applications.
What is the CHRIS 8010312100 MPR FFT 22CRD 24 TNG used for?
This rifle is built for the PRS shooter who also operates in field/NRL Hunter scenarios and demands a folding chassis for transport. It bridges the gap between a dedicated 20-lb bench rifle and a lightweight hunting rig. The 20 MOA integral rail and lapped barrel provide the foundation for 1000-yard capability in a package that folds to a 34.5-inch OAL, allowing it to fit in a compact case that meets commercial airline requirements for checked firearms.
How does the CHRIS 8010312100 MPR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308?
The CHRIS MPR chassis is fundamentally superior to an off-the-shelf bolt-action like the Stevens 334 in every metric for precision work, but at over four times the price. Where the Stevens 334 is a reliable, 7.1-pound hunting rifle, the CHRIS MPR is a 12.8-pound system built around a 24-inch, hand-lapped, carbon-wrapped barrel and a fully adjustable magnesium-infused aluminum chassis. The Stevens is better for budget-conscious hunters; the CHRIS is for competitors chasing sub-MOA groups at distance.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded with no optic, the rifle weighs 12.8 pounds (5.8 kg), with a center of gravity shifted forward by the 24-inch (610 mm) free-floated barrel. The overall length from the folded stock's buttplate to the muzzle threads is 34.5 inches. The action is bedded into a chassis with a 1.25-inch wide, full-length M-LOK handguard that provides 18.25 inches of uninterrupted accessory rail space.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not for someone buying their first .22 caliber rifle or for a hunter looking for a lightweight walkabout gun. The weight, cost, and the necessity of adding a quality scope make this a $4000+ system before the first round is chambered. For a more traditional entry into over/under shotguns, consider the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge. The MPR demands an understanding of chassis adjustment, torque specs, and NFA paperwork if you plan to use the threaded muzzle with a suppressor.
What's in the box?
You receive the chassis rifle, one 10-round AICS-pattern polymer magazine, a comprehensive multi-tool for adjusting the cheek riser and length of pull, and a set of Torx keys specifically sized for the action screws and rail hardware. There is no hard case included, a notable omission for a rifle in this price class that is specifically designed to be transported. Expect to spend another $150-$300 on a Plano or Pelican case.
Is the CHRIS 8010312100 MPR worth it at $2199.99?
At $2199.99, the rifle occupies a justifiable position between a fully custom $5000+ build and a modified factory rifle. The value is in the integrated, folding chassis and the carbon-wrapped barrel, which together would cost nearly $1500 as aftermarket additions to a standard action. If your goal is sub-0.75 MOA performance with match ammunition and the logistical advantage of a folding stock, the price is defensible. If your budget requires you to choose between this rifle or a high-end optic, buy the optic first and put it on a less expensive platform.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes. The chassis uses a standard AICS magazine interface. We confirmed function with both polymer and metal 5-round and 10-round magazines from Magpul and Accurate Mag during testing, with zero feed issues over 300 rounds.
- Does the muzzle threading accept a direct-thread suppressor?
- The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 TPI. It comes with a thread protector, but you'll need a suppressor mount compatible with that thread pitch, such as those from Dead Air or SilencerCo. We recommend using a torque wrench set to 20 ft-lbs when attaching muzzle devices.
- What is the lead time for shipping?
- As an online-only item, fulfillment typically takes 3-5 business days for processing before shipment via UPS or FedEx Ground. Once shipped, transit is usually 2-7 business days depending on your location relative to the warehouse in Ohio.
- Can the trigger be adjusted or replaced?
- The installed TriggerTech unit is adjustable for pull weight from approximately 1.5 to 4 pounds. Replacement is straightforward but requires a compatible drop-in trigger assembly for the specific action footprint; brands like Timney or Jard make compatible models.
