[QUOTE="NVGuide, post: 2335696, member: 119078"] I have the Christensen 338 LM in the MPR Chassis with a Vortex 5-25x50 FFP. I built it last year specifically for elk hunting in NV. It now has 4 elk to its credit from 640 yards to 875 yards. 3 of 4 were one shot kills. Hornady Precision Hunter Ammo with 270gr ELDX will shoot 3/4 moa all day long. My hand loads with 230gr ELDX bullets and IMR 7828SSC shoot one hole groups regularly at 100 yards. The felt recoil with this gun is minimal mostly due to the great muzzle break Christensen uses. I often spot my own impacts with this gun at ranges of 400 yards or more because the recoil is so manageable. My wife has shot 20+ rounds thru it and swears the recoil is less than her old .243. In my opinion, I could easily shoot this gun all day long and get tired of nothing except the muzzle blast. 4 other Christensen Ridgeline models with similar scopes (three 6.5 CM’s and a 7MM Mag) all love the Hornady Precision Hunter Ammo and easily shoot sub-moa.
