[QUOTE="7sand8s, post: 2655658, member: 40738"] So I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought one. The key factor was how light it is for hunting as compared to my BERGARA both in .300 win mag…..I will say Christensen is a better built gun from factory. My question is that I have only tried one brand of ammo ….ELDX 200gr Precision Hunter. I did do barrel break in according to Christensen. The thing is I’m skeptical now becuase I didn’t study the gun enough to know that it’s actually a pencil barrel wrapped with carbon. I have always had good luck with eldx 200 in all of my 300s . This gun will not get a tighter group than 2” at 200, even then you have to really work to get it to do that. Now I’m just wondering if this gun prefers a lighter or heavier bullet…Christensen does reccomened only match grade ammo out of their barrels…I do have some Berger VLD Hunting I can load. They are I believe 208gr. Any suggestions would help at this point. Im Just thinking the whole pencil barrel wrapped with carbon isn’t the cats meow they say it is. It shoots great 1st shot and only if you let it sit and take another shot does it get within the 2” I spoke of…If I take three consecutive shots it’s all over everywhere. As big as 6-7 MOA [/QUOTE]
