[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 1592534, member: 86692"] Within the next couple of months, I am going to be looking into purchasing a new rifle. I love the idea of the carbon barrels and stocks. I want a 338 Lapua. I have always loved this round, and have wanted one for a long time. I will be shooting off my bench, and I will also be using it to hunt with, which is why I am not looking so closely at something like a Ruger RPR. The Ruger is not out of the question, but I prefer to have the option to effectively carry my rifle and hunt with it, as well as bang steel with it. I have been seriously looking at a Christensen BA model, it has everything I’m looking for in a rifle at a good price from what I can gather. Then my shooting buddy showed me the Fierce rifles.... My question is, can anybody give me the pros or cons of the Christensen vs a Fierce? I’m seeing a 1/2 moa guarantee on the Fierce and a sub moa guarantee on the Christensen. Is one brand much better than the other? I understand there’s going to be allot of opinions, one way and the other, but does anybody here have allot of experience with these rifles? Any differences in their carbon barrels? Quality of build, real world accuracy, weight and feel....(?) One thing I’ve noticed that I like is the muzzle brake on the Christensen over the radial design I’ve seen on the Fierce. I like gasses expelling from the sides verses all around for prone shooting, and from what I’ve seen on the internet videos, (it’s on the Internet so it has to be true), the Christensen brakes are really effective. Although brakes can be changed out easy enough... Any thoughts are much appreciated, especially from personal experience with either of these makers... [/QUOTE]
