Traded in the Christensen today for the Carbon Ridge. I just couldn’t get used to the feel of the FFT stock and I love my Bergara’s. Added the VX5HD to it on Talley rings.

I just got the same thing in 7mm PRC a couple weeks ago.
Only shot a box through or so far to sight it in, the last 5 rounds were well under an inch at 100yds. I was impressed.

My go-to is a Christensen ridgeline but I may start taking the ridge carbon. Going to put another box through and see what it does.

Nice looking setup. I bet she’s a shooter. Got a particular load in mind?

Bergara is the best feeling and shooting gun to me. I tried a Christensen Mesa fft and couldn’t past on slick the stock was, plus I like a little weight in my guns.

Shoot better than the CA?

never shot it. Didn’t like the way the carbon stock felt. Very slick with minimal grip.

I don't remember my 300prc Ridgeline being slick but I remember a $2000 rifle barely holding moa even with my handloads.
