[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1519825, member: 16938"] I have a Havak in the 6.5 CM. Mine is a first edition with the McMillan stock. It is a very well put together rifle with premium components and full action bedding. It commonly prints groups in the .3s with an occasional flier opening the group to .5 MOA with factory 143 Precision Hunter ammunition. My handloads with H4350 and 143s are slightly more precise without the occasional flier. The action bound a little when new, but it smoothed out nicely with use and a little sanding of the feed lips on the Magpul magazine. My Havak is fitted with a Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44. My 12 year old daughter used the Havak to put down her first mule deer buck at 640 yards. [ATTACH]112580[/ATTACH] I also have a Ridgeline chambered in 6.5 PRC. I am currently firing 147 ELD-Ms at 2975 fps. It printed a 2.5" four shot group at 600 yards to finalize load development and it balances extremely well with a VX5-HD 3-15x44 in low Hawkins Hybrid rings. I've had great luck with Christensen Ridgelines straight from the box. The action bedding could be better, but they do just fine with what they have. For a light rifle, it is very easy to shoot well. And the low recoil allows me to easily spot my hits. It is my new "go to" mountain rifle for deer and sheep. [/QUOTE]
