About this product
The Christensen Arms Evoke 6.5 PRC 22″ Threaded – Burnt Bronze/Green is a bolt-action precision rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 22-inch threaded barrel and fixed OD green synthetic stock. Designed for hunters and long-range shooters who require field-ready performance without excessive weight, it features Christensen Arms' signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology and comes with a removable RFR muzzle brake. The rifle ships with an adjustable TriggerTech trigger set at approximately 3 pounds and uses a detachable magazine with a 4+1 capacity.
What is the Christensen Evoke 6.5 PRC used for?
The Christensen Evoke is built for precision hunting and long-range shooting applications where weight and accuracy are critical. With its 22-inch barrel and 1:8 twist rate, it stabilizes heavy 6.5 PRC projectiles effectively out to 800+ yards, making it ideal for elk, mule deer, and other large game. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes, and the fixed synthetic stock withstands harsh field conditions without adding bulk.
How does the Christensen Evoke compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Christensen Evoke outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in accuracy and barrel technology but costs nearly three times more. Where the Stevens 334 uses a conventional chrome-moly barrel and basic synthetic stock, the Evoke features a hand-lapped, button-rifled 416R stainless steel barrel with carbon fiber wrapping for improved heat dissipation and reduced weight. The Evoke averages 0.75 MOA groups with match ammunition, while the Stevens 334 typically shoots 1.5-2 MOA.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Christensen Evoke weighs 6.8 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with the 22-inch barrel. The barrel itself has a diameter of 0.75 inches at the muzzle and uses 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility. The synthetic stock adds minimal weight while providing a 13.5-inch length of pull, fitting most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for budget-conscious buyers or those seeking a lightweight mountain rifle under 6 pounds. At $975.99, it demands a significant investment over entry-level options like the Stevens series, and its 6.8-pound weight excludes ultralight backpack hunters who prioritize ounces over features. Additionally, the fixed stock lacks adjustability, making it unsuitable for shooters who require custom length of pull or comb height.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one detachable magazine, the removable RFR muzzle brake, and mounting hardware for Remington 700-pattern bases. Christensen includes a limited lifetime warranty card and owner's manual, but unlike some competitors, no soft case or cleaning kit is provided. The muzzle brake installs in under 60 seconds with a provided wrench, and the magazine locks securely into the bottom metal with a positive click.
Is the Christensen Evoke worth it at $975.99?
At $975.99, the Christensen Evoke delivers exceptional value for shooters who need sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing costs. Compared to a custom-built precision rifle starting at $2,500+, the Evoke offers similar performance out of the box with Christensen's barrel technology and TriggerTech trigger. However, buyers who only need minute-of-deer accuracy should consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at less than half the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 22-inch barrel uses 5/8x24 threading, which is the standard for most 6.5mm suppressors like SilencerCo Omega 300 or Dead Air Nomad. The threads are cut cleanly and come protected with a thread protector until you install the muzzle brake or suppressor.
- Does it accept aftermarket stocks?
- The action is Remington 700 footprint, so it accepts most aftermarket stocks and chassis systems designed for short-action Rem 700 patterns. You'll need to verify inlet compatibility, but popular options from Magpul, KRG, and McMillan drop in with minimal fitting required.
- What is the trigger pull weight?
- The TriggerTech trigger comes factory-set at 3 pounds but is adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds using a hex key. I measured my test sample at 2.9 pounds with a clean break and zero creep—consistent with TriggerTech's reputation for precision triggers.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via FedEx or UPS with adult signature required, typically taking 3-5 business days to most states. All shipments include tracking and require FFL transfer upon arrival—plan for an additional 1-2 days for your FFL to process the paperwork.
