Long range mountain hunting needs a heavy hit and light rifle.
I am not and will not reload.
So naturally I went with 338 Lapua Magnum thats before I discovered the price of ammo.......
The next best hitting cartridge over twice less the price (which is the highest I can afford) of 338 is 300 PRC (correct me if I am wrong).
So now looking at 300 PRC rifles. Much more choice than 338 or so I thought. If I buy 5K plus rifle than it defeats the ammo savings purpose. Also sub 1MOA is enough. So all the customs like H-S, Gunwerks, Allterra, Red Rock..... are out. AND I looove chasse rifles (although thats not a requirement).
First thing that comes to mined is Christensen Arms MPR would be perfect if you knew what you were getting.... (between the issues with the action, the barrel....) if you hit a lemon with high chance you are screwed.
There is Kelby's Nanook MG but its almost twice as much as the MPR and havent seen many reviews on it. Not sure its worth twice the MPR.
SO..... for what I see I am left with:
FIERCE FIREARMS Rival either carbon or twisted (let me know whats better)
or
Proof Elevation MTR. What ****es me off there is that not only there is no custom cheek riser they didnt even include a freaking muzzle device..... But that rifle is no doubt will perform will have no issues.....
So although I was excited to buy a rifle I see no exciting options.......
What am I missing?
