1st elk hunt need rifle advice

I just recently had a chance to handle a Christiansen Ridgeline in 300 WSM.

I gotta admit that is a nice semi lightweight gun. I looked up the specs. It was 6.3 lbs with a 24" barrel.

Up here, it's a $2,700 Canadian gun but a friend of mine couldn't resist - lol (he got it for $2650 taxes in new). I can't say anything... I picked up
an HK 770 in 308 at the same gun show lol. The wives were giving us both **** about it's not like we didn't have similar guns already.

I might get to pull the trigger on it tomorrow. I gave him a few boxes of reloads to break it in a try. I'm hoping that I can get away to the range with him tomorrow and see how it shoots.
 
Read an article about a Proof a Research .280 AI a while back. Lightweight, accurate, almost as fast as a 7mm Rem Mag. What's not to like.
