Great answer to a question I didn't ask. If I would have had one of your super double top secret overpriced AR's maybe I would've got this one down...... I'd have shot him right in the Burns! You could have filled your first elk tag. That would have been kewl. LULZ!
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

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.

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...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

SafariBurns succeeded in derailing and interesting thread didn't he? He apparently missed the whole point of the OP.....functionality, performance, build quality, actual usage of these particular rifles. Not sure why he went off on a tangent regarding calibers, ability, practice, etc? We all have enough experience to know what works for a specific application, which is quite obvious. The guy has proven to be a fraud and a farce, but I do thank you guys for your information and feedback before he showed up.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Scott's been drooling over the APR for quite some time and needs someone to buy one so he can live vicariously through them. Don't be an enabler Fowler...... SKane is devious enough by his own self. Probably selling the 'better half's" shoes on Poshmark to afford the APR.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Ah yes. Another interesting topic thread turned into a two topic thread. One interesting. One, not so much.

My 6.5 PRC rifle purchase fell through, so thought I'd ask those with experience. Assuming the price is practically the same, or in the ballpark.....considering the Tikka, Sauer Atacama, or Sako S20, which one are you buying? Not the least bit interested in Christensen anything. I have brass, powders, and dies already. I bought a used Sauer, the one with dark green cerrakote and a camo stock. Got it pretty cheap. It shoots great and it runs really well from the shoulder,I have killled three running hogs with it off hand and the stock design seems to really mitigate recoil. It has a little negative drop at the comb like the NULA rifles. I should add that I have Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots itty bitty groups. Go with what feels best when you shoulder it.

Profile of a Sociopath
Gaslighting
Toxic folks use gaslighting techniques to manipulate others. But it's a common habit of sociopaths, too. They "rely on gaslighting to disempower their victims," Koenig says. "This involves lying about their activities ... and making someone else think they’re wrong when they’re right, did something they didn’t, or didn’t do something they did." It's confusing AF, which is why it's manipulative.
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I have brass, powders, and dies already. Back on track . . . . None of the above. I chose to go the route of a custom - 2, actually. Defiance Deviant Hunter, 26" Proof CF, 1-7.75, and a Defiance anTi, 20" Bartlein #4 CF, 1-7.75. One resides in a Mesa Precision Attitude; the other a McM Game Stalker. Both wear BDL-style bottom metal and TriggerTech triggers.

I won't be buying any. My 30-06 Ruger does mesh well with my shooting skills

I have a M70 Classic Stainless in .325 WSM I bought as a donor. It's sitting in a McMillan Bridges Edge.
Might become a PRC, if it doesn't get sold first.
That being said, there have been very few negative Tikka threads here.

As many of you are already aware from my constant gloating, Higgins guided me onto this trophy elk in Montana several years ago.
