[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 193009, member: 10"] James Jones, The funny thing is that it was my personal rifle, I probably had 150 rounds down her before I sold it. Still shot VERY good, 1/2 moa when I sold it. The customer that bought it from me is a good customer and I know him very well. He shot the rifle quite a bit and was very happy with the ballistic performance and accuracy of the rifle but wanted to use the rifle in all weather conditions and that simply is not possible with a single load using WC872, just a bit temp sensitive so you really need a warm and cold weather load if you want top performance in all conditions with reliable function. He sold the rifle and thats the end of what I know about the rifles history. It it was cared for, It could easily have a decent amount of life left in the barrel, at least big game hunting life that is. Will it snipe a ground squirrel at 800 yards, maybe, yet again, thats not what the 7mm AM is designed for. My main concern is this, its a tricky thing to reduce an existing barrel down dramatically in diameter without having the bore diameter increase or become inconsistant along the length of the bore. Properly made carbon wrapped barrels have barrel blanks that are specifically made to a profile for wrapping the carbon fiber on them, as such they can maintain proper bore specs. I do not know how Christensen Arms would be able to do this and maintain the original specs of the Lilja barrels bore. Plus, as you mentioned, $3500!!!!:confused: My god, a brand new rifle would be less then this ordered from me. Its on a Rem 700 receiver for crying out loud. Hell, a custom receivered 7mm AM would be less then this. They seem to be awful proud of their work at Christensen Arms, not sure why, all they did was turn a barrel down and apply carbon fiber........ Anyway, if anyone wants a 7mm AM and happens to see this rifle, PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT, call me up, we will get you a new rifle with an accuracy garantee for less money and you will know exactly what you have in your rifle, stay away from this rifle PLEASE because I will not be backing this rifle in any way as far as warrantee work or accuracy garantees.
