I have a little jingle in my pocket and I am looking to purchase a new long range rifle. It will be used probably 75% for hunting and 25% for target shooting.
I have been looking fairly seriously into a Christensen Arms 300 WM bolt action.
One option is the ELR with the adjustable cheekpiece. Next option is the Traverse with the Monte Carlo high cheek piece rifle. The last option is the ridgeline. With the Ridgeline you don't get any kind of rise in the cheek piece.
Is the rise in the cheek piece worth having? Critical? Needed? I have never had a high cheek piece on any rifle and never shot with one.
On a 300 WM rifle what would be the best weight?
I know there are A LOT of opinions out there... anyone with first hand knowledge with solid recommendations? Pro's? Cons? Move on and choose another brand? TIA!
