[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 2919451, member: 6327"] No kidding! :D I ordered a brand new Christensen Arms Ridgeline chambered in 6.5 PRC just to see if all the hype was true. I got it all set up ready to go and headed to the range with a good supply of factory ammo to get acquainted. I set up at 25 yards, chambered a round and pulled the trigger the shot was just off the point of aim, I lifted the bolt handle and the case would not come out of the chamber. The bolt lift was not hard but the case wouldn't budge. I beat the bolt open with a plastic hammer I keep in my range box and examined the case, there was a large gouge on the base of the case just forward of the rim, the chamber was so badly burred that it took a chamber reamer to fix it. It was very obvious that this rifle was never test fired at the factory! On a gun that retails for over $2000.00 this should NEVER happen. My $350.00 TC Venture .270 shoots circles around it and works every time I pull the trigger and cycle the bolt. Sorry to drag this OT! [/QUOTE]
