I'm just looking for opinions, or anyone's experience with this rifle. "I"... I mean my wife is wanting a 6.5 creedmoor from santa. Thanks
 
I think if I was looking for a 6.5 cm I would purchase an off the shelf brand rifle for substantially less money and probably no less bang.

Save most of your money for your Taxidermist.

Too many companies offer a good rifle for less than $700.00 and a few are good shooters at half that price.

That's the kind of sentiments that I've been hearing too but I have seen some of their rifle that shoot pretty well but some that don't.

Different caliber, but should give you an idea if it's something you'd want to buy.

I'm looking at the same. For the price, the weight savings on the rifle, tuned trigger, a non factory stock, nice recoil pad, and the accuracy, it's actually not a bad deal. I'm looking at that same exact rifle and caliber for just shooting at the range, whitetails. Maybe mule deer but I'm mixed on that.

I think Christensen got a bad reputation for what they used to do, not what they're doing now. They used to offer a service where they'd carbon wrap your barrel. Well if you carbon wrap a p.o.s., it's still a p.o.s. afterwards. Awful marketing and operational idea because of the risk you're taking on.
 
I had a Christensen rifle, or more like a shotgun years ago and it was a total POS. maybe they're better now,but only those who like it get screwed twice.

I just helped a buddy develop a load and sight in a new Kimber lightweight rifle. a tack driver and really light. if I didn't have my custom lightweights that's exactly what I'd be buying.
