[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1723010, member: 59541"] I just picked up a CA Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC last week. Sportsman's Warehouse is having a 10% off sale so I got it for $1710. They are also $1695 at Eurooptic.com. Plus CA has a $100 gift certificate for their store if you buy a firearm between 9/23-10/13. Went to the range and these are shots 6 through 10 with a brand new rifle @100. This is with factory Hornady 143 ELD-X "Precision" Hunter ammo. The bottom hole was all me as I tried to get it off before cease fire. I'm impressed as the ammo had a ES of 81 and a SD of 36 which is horrible. I will reload for it after this year's hunts so I'm hoping to get tiny groups. :) [ATTACH=full]151592[/ATTACH] I talked to several people about the CA Ridgeline and Mesa before purchasing.
