[QUOTE="NVGuide, post: 2544693, member: 119078"] My .02… Christensen MPR in .338 Lapua is worth every penny. I put 2 of them together one for myself and one for my brother. Topped them both with Vortex Razor HD scopes. Both guns shoot factory Hornady Precision Hunter ammo (230gr and 270gr ELDX) at 1/2 moa and I have made hand loads with the same bullets that shoot 5 bullets touching day after day. With the adjustable muzzle brake, you can spot your own impacts consistently and the recoil is minimal. (My 14 year old daughter has shot it several times and she thinks her .243 kicks harder). It is loud AF though. My gun killed 5 elk last year in NV and 3 of the 5 were bang/flops on big bulls. The other 2 only needed 2 rounds with the average distance being 575+ yards. This gun is very manageable in a pack, the folding stock is solid and it flat out performs in the field day after day. There are other good options out there but fully set up with bipod, mono-pod, scope & rings, you are in the neighborhood of $5500 [/QUOTE]
