300 wsm Ballistics help
The problem has been solved. I was running through all the things for what felt like the 1000th time when I realized the chassis was loose, giving the barrel some bounce. I tightened it up, and now it's shooting as it should be. I appreciate all the input from everyone. happy hunting! -

Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?
I was interested in the same Christiansen model when I was looking for a new larger caliber rifle earlier this year then I actually put my hands on it and wasn't impressed. I'm big on fit, feel and handling before I even bother to shoot it and it just didn't meet my requirements -

Much respect, I was in the 82nd for awhile during OIF and it’s amazing how many people don’t know the insane history of the jumps during the WW2… guess that band of brothers show made the 101st seem more famous but it’s far from the truth of it- razorrt5
