That is disappointing to hear. Did Christensen have anything to say about it?

I have a lot of components left for 338 Lapua. Wondering if there are accuracy differences for the Christensen Mesa with the metal barrel or mpr with the carbon fiber barrel. Would likely be using a suppressor as well.

LGS has a ELR version at 2099, but it has a carbon fiber barrel, does that barrel still have issues with groups opening up more then with the regular steel barrel?

I found my stash of 338 Lapua brass and bullets I squirreled away. Wondering how a Savage 338 110 Precision rifle would compare to a Christensen Mesa in 338LM? COAL limits, chamber tightness etc? I remember a few years ago my old Savage would pressure out early compared to loads others had and I...

I have a few thousand 162 ELD and 175 Bergers I bought in anticipation of a 7RM that I never purchased. I have a lot of H1000 and RL23. Wondering how the barrel life is with loads on the lighter end with these slower powders vs max charges in a smaller cartridge for the same bullet. Aiming for...

I use suppressors on my rifles, this barrel taper on the stalker looks pretty thin

I picked up a like new stainless x bolt in 300wsm in trade, didnt know anything about the caliber until after I brought it home. Wondering if it can be rebarrelled into something in the 7mm caliber, or if I should just sell it and move on. Been eyeing another Bergara in 7mm so unsure what to do...

That is exactly what mine was doing. I just soaked both trigger packs and the bolt in solvent thinking the colder temps might have gelled up some cleaning oil if it had gotten in there. Seems to have worked. Strange coincidence I guess that it was happening to the original pack when I...

I have a b14 hmr that I put a timney in. Have about 300 rounds through it but now after cocking it, the firing pin will follow with the bolt. If I manage to get it on safety it will stay cocked until I put it on fire and the trigger will pull normally. I switched trigger packs back to the...

3.775” for the Bergara mag, looks like some AICS mags can go a bit longer. My hodgdon book shows I will have .250“ of mag space if I load to book figures with 162’s. I was hoping someone had worked up a load in this rifle before and how they fit. Will see how everything fits together when the...

Ordered a Bergara Wilderness Terrain in 7mm RM, ballistics look pretty similar to my 6.5 PRC's but brass and bullets for it seem much easier to find right now. I am approaching 4 reloads each on my 6.5 prc brass and haven't found more to order yet. Looking for a starting point for it, I have a...

My 6.5 PRC's love 57gr of h1000. It will send them out at 2925 with 58ish gr but seeing pressure signs, 57 is a happy place for them at 2860fps. I have done a lot of shooting with 4350, but it pressures out quickly without the velocity H1000 gives. Same with RL23. 839 is quick, but FPS varies...

Thinking to purchase another rifle, in 7mm, how does the wilderness stock differ from the hmr? I have the HMR but never seen the wilderness terrain version. Is it lighter, or just missing the adjustable LOP?

Three 6.5 PRC’s and a 6.5 I planned convert to PRC...holding off in case they come out with one and I can sell the Creedmoor version. Compared to the Tikka super light stock, the Mauser stock feels better. They all shoot sub MOA, .75 at worst. Never tried with factory ammo so your results will...

Locally, I saw KY Gun Co has them for about 275 with free shipping right now so I got it cheaper after showing that.
