I had one in 7/08. Very nice rifle. I shoot more off bags each year than I do at deer. For me it was to light for bench shooting...didn't ride the bags well. Perfect for hunting though. Light, accurate, etc. Just wasn't what I wanted.. didn't suit my needs well enough. I sold it. Again, very nice rifle...just wasn't for me. But I'm the same way about model seven rems, and other lightweight rifles. May be perfect for you. Just depends on what your needs are.

I have a Mesa and it shoots everything I have tried around an inch but that's about as well as I can do so the rifle can probably do better , doesn't weigh a lot and carries well. They come with a Trigger Tech trigger that's adjustable without removing the stock. I can't find anything to really complain about with it.
Rifles shoots great. Thier customer service not so much. Got a new ridgeline , the mag follower was installed backwards. Fixed that myself . Threads on muzzle we partially missing and mangled . Got an r.a. after the argument with their rep who said over and over the threads were 9/16 something. Clearly stated on their page its 5/8x24. Regardless they were messed up. Funny the thread protector still came off and on .
Anyways , when they got the rifle they unboxed it , put it back in the mail without doing anything. Had to fight them again . Box it back up , mail it again and this time 6 weeks later they fixed it.
It shot great after all that.
Had 2 ridgeline, one b.a vtac and a mesa in 300 win mag that hasn't been shot. So that one I don't know .

Good rifle for the price, but it's a light weight hunting rig for sure. Not a bench gun as mentioned. I've had several and sold a few on here. The ones I had were all capable of .5" MOA.
I had a Remington 710 270 I bought 15 years ago that I could not hold a group to save my life. Had a friend shoot it and same thing. Paid 300 for it then and had a 500 dollar scope on it. ( the crazy yugo we do ) . I did pull the trigger on the Christensen and looking forward to sighting it in. Thanks for all the feedback

Nice rifle. If you do a search for Christensen on here, you might find a thread about bolt knobs for one. I hated that tiny bolt knob, and put a larger one on the one I had. I just don't remember the name of the manufacturer. Made a big difference working the bolt.I had a Remington 710 270 I bought 15 years ago that I could not hold a group to save my life.

I've got a mesa in 7 mag and love it. Shoots sub moa with factory ammo.
I've got a Ridgeline in 7 mag and had to send it back because the bolt wouldn't work correctly. They fixed it and sent it back with a new bolt and a bigger bolt knob. Mine has the carbon barrel and it won't shoot 140 or 150 grain bullets but is very accurate with 162. Sub MOA
