[QUOTE="Taylor Volk, post: 2282042, member: 104416"] My friend bought a Christansen (carbon barrel can’t remember model) in 7RM in early spring 2020 I want to say. He was very excited as this was his first “magnum” rifle. He started sending me pictures of his groups at 100 yards and I was surprised. He had never shot anything really bigger than his .243 win that he had for 20 years, so I figured the 6” groups at 100 yds were from poor recoil management. Then I shot the rifle surprised that the recoil was surprisingly low. We tried almost every factory ammo available at the time and nothing grouped under 5” @100 yds. He sent the rifle back twice and Christansen said there was nothing wrong both times. It wasn’t the scope and it was mounted correctly. The only fix was to return the rifle and he ended up getting a browning hells canyon, which shot MOA out of the box with factory ammo. I was frustrated for him it took a lot of time and a lot of wasted ammo right before ammo quickly came unavailable. I will not recommend Christansen to anyone. [/QUOTE]
