Thanks for the opinions and advice. I just purchased the Ridgeline but decided on the 30 Nosler. I will ship tomorrow and I'm excited to get on it. Thanks again!

Have this exact rifle, I've only shot a box through it for breakin. Was 3/4" groups. I'm selling since I'm building a 30 nosler. You'll enjoy this rifle!

Most of my African game has been taken with a 1 of 3 Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunters in 300 Win. You'll have some left over for accessories or Glass. They all shoot fast and I've never had one that wouldn't shoot 1/2 MOA with a handload or 1 with Factory.

I've procrastinated on getting a custom rifle built for my upcoming hunts and now it's too late to have one built. I'm looking to spend 2k give or take and not sure what direction to go. I'm looking at the weatherby ultra lightweight and the nosler model 48 long range. Not sure if I'm wasting money on these and should look at other options or try to find something else on the classifieds. And opinions would be appreciated. Thx

I shoot a sendero in 300 win great accurate rifle

I have a Remington ADL in 300 winmag which shoots inside 0.65 inches at 100 yards with 5 shot groups. If you get a Remington CDL, a Timney trigger put in it and scope it with a Shepherd scope, either a 3 to 10 power or a 4 to 12 power, you will have a rig that will let you shoot to at least 800 yards and probably to 1000 yards with sufficient accuracy for anything deer-sized up to moose or bear. A Remington BDL will do it, too. If you want a less costly custom rifle, go to the Remington Custom Shop and have them make one on the 40X action. It will shoot with any of the other custom shop rifles and cost less. Weight will be around 7.6 lb without scope and mount. All of these will cost less that the Nosler and shoot just as well. Also, if you're going to get a stop-gap rifle and order a custom rifle for later, I suggest the Ruger Hunter with muzzle break. It will hold at least an inch at 100yards with 5 shot groups and comes with integral rings. It runs around $900 and weighs in around 7.6 lbs. It is made on the M77 Hawkeye action, and has a fully adjustable trigger. I currently use a Remington CDL in .35 Whelen, firing a 225grain Sierra GK. or a 250 grain Speer HotCor, and it consistently shoots under an inch at 100 yards. I have killed Whitetail with it at a little over 450 yards and one at around 525 yards with first round hits using a Shepherd P2 bullet drop compensating and ranging scope. I have two Remington ADL's in 300 winmag, now, and both will shoot my handloads inside 1 inch at 100 yards (5 shots). They are standard weight rifles with synthetic stocks. The BDL and the CDL or the Ruger M77 Hunter will do what you want and look a lot nicer, though.

Get the sendor and you will have more money for optics for the rifle.

The Christensen Ridgeline is a great option at under 2K. It's a proven performer that produces excellent results with factory loaded ABM (Berger) 215s, and Nosler 180 grain Trophy Grade ammunition.

I can't find the ABM/Berger 215's loaded ammo anywhere. Any thoughts?

Reload?

Christensen seems like a solid gun but the Ridgeline is not that light coming in at 7.2 lbs for a carbon barreled production gun. Also, only a 1" guarantee. Howa's and Savage have that guarantee for $600.

I have a few Fierce rifles and they are much more like a custom rifle with all the features on it than a production rifle. 3 Lug action is smooth as glass and with the wire EDM cut race ways it runs nice. All there models come with a 1/2 MOA gaurantee and mine do it no problem. My Fury .300 WIN weighs 6.8 lbs and cost me under $2,000 at Sportmans' Warehouse.

Found this article about there CT Edge guns. http://www.rokslide.com/fierce-ct-edge-rifle-review/

The Ridgelines are under 7lbs. The newer ones do not have the carbon mag box and are about 3oz heavier than the older ones but still run about 6lbs 13-14oz. I have had 3 CAs and all had no problem getting under .5moa. Having said that the Fierce rifles are in another league. They may shoot the same accuracy wise but the Fierce actions are among the best while the CAs have poor timing.

Get a hold of Dan at the Long Range Only store. They had a pile of it in stock a few weeks ago.

I own a Browning A-Bolt in .300 Win mag and have been very happy with its accuracy and overall design and excellent build quality. A-Bolt rifles are Browning's top line but the lower priced X-Bolt rifles have shown very consistently good accuracy. Both levels of rifles are 3 lug bolts with low (60+ deg.) bolt lifts for faster cycling.

My rifle is over 20 years old and going strong. It is a Stainless Stalker with a synthetic stock and is light enough for mountain use here in Nevada.
