Last year I stumbled across a really good deal on a Christiansen ELR in 300 PRC, I picked it up, threw a geniii razor HD on it and ordered a bunch of ammo. It was some time before I had time to shoot it, when I did I threw a Nomad L can on the end and took it to the range, first 2 shots were fine, 3-5 shots the bolt got increasingly harder to lift.
Now I know CA isn’t really looked at too favorably these days, seems like they’ve had a lot of QC issues, figure mine may have a tight chamber. Would there be any reason I couldn’t send the barreled action to someone and have the CF barrel trashed for a thicker steel barrel and throw it in a chassis or would I be better off starting fresh with a new action? I don’t want to say money isn’t a concern but I don’t mind spending money on quality stuff. I don’t know enough about the precision rifle game yet to make the decision so I figured I would ask here. I appreciate any input!!
