For years Christensen Arms has been known for their high end ultralight rifles.  The high price tag attached to these rifles is usually what separated them from the rest of the consumer market.  Christensen looks to change that, and showcased a variety of new rifles and handguns at SHOT 2020 with incredibly appealing price tags attached.

Christensen Arms Ranger 22

Ranger 22

The real eye catcher this year was the new Ranger 22 rifle.  With a factory threaded barrel and MSRP of just $795, the Ranger 22 is a very appealing new 22lr option.

Ranger 22 Barrel

The Ranger 22 features a aluminum receiver and Christensen signature carbon fiber wrapped barrel.

Additionally, the Ranger 22 takes existing Ruger 10/22 pattern magazines.

The new Ranger 22 is also backed by a Sub-MOA 50 yard accuracy grantee.  For someone that’s looking for a cut above the rest, the Ranger 22 is defiantly worth looking at.
