Are the christensen rifles not worth looking at? Serious ?
Was thinking about getting a 6.5 PRC myself and the ridgeline fft with 20” barrel was enticing as I run a suppressor whenever possible.
The one in the classifieds here looks like a great shooter. However, from what I've personally seen, they do not always shoot all that well. YMMV. Generally a straight out of the Box Tikka is a sure bet and not as much of a gamble when talking accuracy expectations. We can probably all share stories, but the latest CA rifle I saw was a decked out rifle one of my buddies bought last year. He's thrown so much money into it and it is only mediocre at best. The last time I saw him with the rifle was right before one of our club's precision centerfire matches he suggested in the club meeting. He told me that his new Tikka 270 winchester he had just bought for his wife was more accurate than his Christensen decked out in the chassis. He was pretty disgusted and looked like he wanted to throw that rifle into the woods. Unfortunately he did not show up at the shoot he suggested we have because his rifle was not up to the task.. I believe one member here was able to make it to that shoot (Sheister). I have other stories about CA, but they have the same ending. Sadly, one of my new buddies here just bought one. He says he has 4 grand into it and he wants to go shooting soon. I'm not going to bring any of my Tikka's, as I do not want to make him feel bad...
