[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1409129, member: 103996"] I have a Ridgeline in 300 Win mag, I love it. 5 shot groups are okay, the carbon isn’t good at dispersing heat as a fluted bull barrel but 3 shot groups are always ~1/2 moa @200 Nice and light, but for really long shots (for me that’s 900-1200) it’s borderline too light on the barrel, it wobbles around more than heavier guns. It still shoots good at range, 3/4-1 moa at 850 (furthest I’ve tested just for groups) but it’s not the rifles accuracy that make it less accurate at range. It’s the fact that the barrel (the whole gun really) is light enough that even your heartbeat make the crosshairs move ever so slightly where heavier guns don’t do so (at least, not as much) Trigger is pretty good, to be expected for its price range. All of the pros and the cons of the 700 action, there’s a YouTube review that covers the details on that better than I can explain. The review is for one in 28 or 30 Nosler. If you plan on carrying the rifle a fair distance and hunting with it (as in, carry it maybe a few miles, go prone and shoot it LR) then it’s a great rifle. IMO the weight of the rifle makes up for the fact that it’s a little bit harder to shoot long range. It’s not that bad, but I wouldn’t want anything lighter. Shoots great, fairly well balanced for the little weight that it has. Something that might help is a more sturdy stock. The one on it is nice but it’s not ergo friendly for LR imo and it’s not the most sturdy stock by any means. I see a replacement for mine in my future. [/QUOTE]
