The Christensen Arms Summit TI 28 Nosler 26″ Thumbhole 3+1 is a precision bolt-action rifle built for shooters who want long-range performance without hauling a heavy rig. Chambered in the hot .28 Nosler, it pairs a 26-inch steel threaded barrel with a titanium action and aluminum receiver to keep weight in check while staying rock-solid. This right-hand rifle ships with a fixed green thumbhole stock, an adjustable match trigger, and a radial muzzle brake. Christensen Arms backs it with their Half-MOA Guarantee, so you know it’s built to shoot.

Key Features
- 26″ Steel Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: gives you the velocity to reach out past 800 yards with heavy .28 Nosler bullets, and the threaded muzzle lets you add a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith.
- Titanium Action & Aluminum Receiver — Why it matters: shaves over a pound compared to all-steel actions, so you can carry this rifle all day on a mountain hunt without feeling it.
- Fixed Thumbhole Stock (Green with Black/Tan Webbing) — Why it matters: the thumbhole design locks your grip in the same spot every time, improving consistency, and the webbing pattern reduces glare in the field.
- Adjustable Match Trigger — Why it matters: you can dial the pull weight from around 2.5 to 4 pounds, letting you tune it for precision bench work or a crisp hunting break.
- Radial Muzzle Brake — Why it matters: cuts felt recoil by about 30%, so you stay on target for quick follow-up shots without flinching.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who demands long-range accuracy in a lightweight package. It’s perfect for hunters who hike miles into elk or mule deer country, and for precision shooters who want a factory gun that can hang with custom builds. If you’re a new shooter looking to step into magnum-level performance, the Summit TI gives you a forgiving trigger and muzzle brake to manage recoil while you learn.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, lightweight titanium build makes it easy to carry, radial brake tames the .28 Nosler’s punch, adjustable trigger suits multiple shooting styles.
Cons: The .28 Nosler ammo is pricey and can be hard to find locally, and the fixed thumbhole stock won’t fit left-handed shooters without a custom build.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the Christensen Arms Summit TI in .28 Nosler?
With the 26-inch barrel and high-BC bullets like the 175-grain Berger, you can expect reliable expansion and accuracy out to 1,000 yards. The Half-MOA guarantee means your first three shots should group under 0.5 inches at 100 yards with quality ammo.
Does the Summit TI come with a case or scope?
No, the rifle ships without a case or optics. You’ll need to buy a scope and rings separately. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard bases, so mounting a quality scope like a Leupold or Vortex is straightforward.
Can I use this rifle for hunting elk or bear?
Absolutely. The .28 Nosler pushes a 175-grain bullet at over 3,100 fps, delivering enough energy for elk, moose, and brown bear at extended ranges. Just make sure you practice with the brake off if you plan to hunt in thick cover where muzzle blast could spook game.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek rest?
No, the fixed thumbhole stock is not adjustable. The length of pull is set at about 13.5 inches, which fits most average-sized adults. If you need a custom fit, you may want to look at aftermarket stocks or a different model.
