Yep, those 215 gr pills over H1000 gracefully cradled by some nosler brass are what this gun will be fed. Only difference is I’ll most likely be starting them off with the Fed 210m primers as the appetizer We will see what she prefers. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Now I have to...

Boom! Just got off the phone with John at Mesa Precision. He has a build that was canceled by another customer that will be perfect for me and at a very fair price. It should be shipped Friday! Pictures of the test groups show .3 moa 3 shots with factory ABM 185’s and less than that with their...

Those havoks are looking like a killer deal. The spiral flutes we’re the only thing keeping me from going that route.

Stopped by the sportsman’s warehouse since I was in the area and was surprised to see them carrying at least 20 Christensen arms guns, and a bout 7 fierce fury’s. Handled the CA Ridgeline, Mesa, MPR and Fury all side by side. They didn’t have any fierce rifles with carbon fiber barrels to...

Thank you. I have heard great things about them also. They had my attention as the most probable direction I’d go until I found Mesa. All that means is I’m going to have to get another boom stick to see what the hype is about. Those Fury’s don’t look half bad either. The carbon barrel has my...

I’ve come close to getting a Christensen but ultimately got cold feet with the amount of problems they’ve had with their barrels. It seems like these past few years have been much better. Ultimately I decided that it seems like buying a $600 tikka or savage would put me in the same weight class...

I believe they use the lone peaks when they are out of their actions if I understood John correctly. He also said they can’t keep their actions on the shelf. Most of the work the work they do these days is on the Ti actions. They seem to be very thorough with quality control and haven’t built a...

They machine their own ss and Ti actions or use a blueprinted 700 if you want to save a few bucks. Lead times were as stated earlier, 7-8 weeks. The ascent uses an HS precision stock unless you want something else. They have their own stocks that should be coming out soon. The reamer they use...

I’m interested in these two scopes also. Everything I own is MOA but that Bushnell has me flirting with the idea of shaking things up.

I’ve found a few rifles in classifieds that are what I’m looking for but are in 300 rum or Norma mag. Very sweet setups but at this point I’m trying to keep things simple and stay with the 300 wm. I’ll have to spin off the break for group I go to Idaho with for the type of hunting we do there...

I most certainly will. Looking very promising, but some of the details aren’t posted on their website.

Those mesa’s are sweet! I’ll call tomorrow and talk to John. I’m trying to find that gap in the classifieds now.

Howdy everyone, I’ve been selfishly soaking up a ton of info on the forums here for years and felt like it was time to join. I’m far from an expert but hopefully I’ll be able to give a little back. This place has helped me out quite a bit. I’m always looking to get together with folks to hunt...

Spending an embarrassing amount of time geeking out on the subject over the last handful of years, google originally led me to the forum and it’s been a great compilation of knowledge. It was finally time I actually joined so I can interact with the community!

Thanks Sykes, mesa looks like it could be a good route to go with the timeframe I have to work with. Tidus56 hunting starts in October for me. I’ll give a 419 a try. I’ve read a bit about the bighorns and hear good things about them but haven’t ever had one in my hands. I’m not questioning the...
