[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1281064, member: 27307"] 300shorty, Most of us dislike being critical of factory or semi-custom rifles, there are too many variables which can change a decision unless it's a comparison on a one-to-one basis. Christensen Arms has been around a long time which can indicate that they are doing something right. However, they have had their rough times over the last couple of decades. I have had to fix several that arrived in less than satisfactory condition without the company standing behind the fixes. I have rebarreled several when their 'carbon fiber' barrels didn't shoot worth a hoot. All of this took place several years ago before I stopped screwing around with them. Recently I have read reviews of their work and builds which have been very positive. Something may have changed at the company and things are on the upswing, I don't know for a fact. I, like many others, share a common prejudice about having custom rifles made by small or one-man shops where quality is the primary goal along with customer satisfaction. The larger 'factory' shops don't seem to have the customer relationship that the smaller shops do. But, this is your choice and money to put it where you perceive the best opportunity exists.
