Fierce or Christensen Arms?

[Gynaroo]

I have two Christensens. One Mesa and one Ridgeline. Both good rifles. Shoot better than me. Both have killed lots of elk and deer.

My only complaint is the bolt. It doesn’t run as smoothly as I would like. But as long as I don’t short pull the bolt it will reliably grab the next case and load it. It just isn’t smooth.

I have a Mesa in 7mm mag. It is good and shoots quite well with several factory loads. Only issue I have with it is the bolt. It is pretty touch to run after firing a round. I reached out to Christensen and they said they use a stronger spring and that it should break in. I can't tell if it is breaking in...
