    What do I do now?

    Search the OP's posting history. He lays out virtually the same story in another thread and names the builder. I'm not saying he does or does not have a legitimate issue, just trying to give you guys a clue that there is another thread about this and the maker is named, along with some other...

    Christensen Arms Ridgeline

    I've had 2 Ridgelines, a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 300 Win Mag. Both shot under 1 moa with the right load. The 6.5 CM was a tack driver, but it took a lot of load development to get it there. If you are just looking for a lightweight hunting rifle, the stock is ok. The ergonomics suck for shooting...

    Help Me Decide

    I like your thought process. If you build it on a Bighorn/Zermatt action, that gives you the option of swapping bolt heads, so you can get prefit barrels in virtually any caliber that will fit into a short action. I think plenty of guys are feeding 6BR with no issues, but I don’t have any...

    WTF did I just spend my money on?

    Agree with that. Best $ I ever spent was on an original Terrapin rangefinder. Way better than any currently available rangefinder, but a worthless brick if it breaks. Still, best money I’ve ever spent. Ill be sad when it dies.

    First post and new build idea

    The Christensen action isn't that great. I had a MPR and a couple of Ridgelines. I really liked the MPR chassis, but the action was a bit gritty with a heavy bolt lift. The TriggerTech is great, but you can buy that for about $125 and put it on any other Rem 700 style action. By the time you...

    PRS Shooters • Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro • Good Value For Newb?

    That means it's probably not a very good choice either. Buying one from GAP would be a fantastic choice, even if it did cost a bit more.

    Berger Ammunition.....anyone know if they're producing ammunition?

    Bruno's has 156 gr and 140 gr in stock. You have to go to their website and enter "6.5 creedmoor berger" into the search bar. It doesn't show on their Berger ammo page for some reason.

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope recommendations.

    I have a MK5 3.6-18 and an AMG. They are both nice. Not as nice as the TT 315 M or H, but half the price. My MK5 has the H59 reticle, and honestly, if I were going to buy that one again for a hunting rifle, I would get the illuminated TMR. I really like the floating dot aiming point and having...

    0 MOA vs 20 MOA Rail for vortex viper 5-25x50 on Bergara HMR 6.5

    Just get a 20 moa rail. There is no downside. Just gives you more available elevation when you move out to farther distances.

    GAP Sikes Edition Hunter???

    I sent them all the parts to build my rifle in late February. They quoted 4 months. Covid hit during that time and they still delivered in 4 months. I don't know what their quoted lead times are now, but yes, if you supply all the parts, it will probably be quicker.

    What’s your process for working up a load? Have you done a proper ocw or ladder test?
