I have a Christensen Mesa in 6.5 prc shoots sub moa right out of the box, with that said I read alot of negative comments about their rifles. I guess its just luck of the draw...
When you pay that much for a Rifle, you should not rely on luck of the draw every single rifle should be superb . Surely someone can get a lemon, but when a lot of people get lemon that say something about the manufacture.
Yea, My CA 338 Lapua is terrific.
CArms hasn't been the same since the old man sold out. I've always wanted a CA rifle, but afraid to buy one today with so many people complaining about Quality issues.
So, I know for sure CA has told me they had some QC issues since COVID. I sent a gun back two weeks ago for a new barrel. Hopefully that fixes the accuracy issues. Great customer service though.
You got one of those infamous “friday built” Christiansen rifles. Apparently, its friday a lot at their factory.
Yeah it's too bad, I quite like the look and features of the rifle but those don't matter when they shoot like shit lol.
I was unlucky. There were multiple stock issues with mine . Including the swivel studs being ran in darn near sideways. It was terrible the cerakote had dark spots in it ,and the barreled action wasn’t centered in the stock. Ive had cheap beater rifles that had much better fit and finish . Mine did shoot sub moa however. Needless to say it’s no longer mine
Bergara rifles shoot so much better hands down
👍
Bergara out shoots Christensen all day long!
Its crazy to compare these two rifles because the Christensen is twice the price of the Bergara. So of course the Christensen rifle is going to have a few better components than the Bergara even though the Bergara still out performs the Christensen rifle. Try comparing the same Christensen rifle to a Bergara Premier rifle in the same category and that will be a fair fight for quality.
The Ridgeline stock is carbon fiber not fiberglass
My ca mesa in 6.5 creed shoots sub 1 inch with handloads but it doesnt feed from the mag worth a da@# even with factory ammo. I just got a bergara wilderness sierra in 7prc and it feeds smoothly and im gonna group test it next week
The Ridgelines in 28 nosler not good
Friends dont let friends buy CA rifles. So many better choices especially for the price point. Get a seekins and never worry about it. CA has such a poor reputation for QA issues and poor accuracy. Plenty of forum posts that shed light on CA's issues over the years.
CA has a crappy warranty (any use of nonfactory loads voids the warranty) and deceptive sub moa guarantee as well (only sub 1" moa at 50 yards).
Couldn’t agree more. I had a ridgeline in 300 win mag and I could not get it to group. Did the full break in and tried lots of different loads, ended up selling it. I now have a savage 110 ultralight in 28 nosler. Threw a carbon fiber stock on it, and that proof barrel is perfect. Right out of the box and to this day I don’t think I’ve shot a group outside of an MOA. I’ve also been shooting a weatherby vanguard in 270 win for years now and it’s a tac driver as well.
I don’t know, my christensen arms 6.5 prc puts three in one hole. Doesn’t have any of the problems this guy is complaining about. I have heard more good than bad.
@matthewkyle6939 if you do any searching there's a pile of bad reviews on them. Just not worth the risk when the market has better choices, glad you have one that shoots!
@@lawsonhuntsSWVA lol there’s bad reviews on everything. Point is, it is as accuracy’s as you can be. Three rounds in one hole at 100. Not strung out or a clover. Three literally in the same hole. Are there lemons, I’m sure there is, but there are lemons with any factory rifle.
I would take the Bergera the Christiansen over price crap
Ill never buy a christensen arms rifle for 2 primary reasons: 1-their sub moa guaranty is sub par - its only sub moa (sub 1") at 50 yards. So basically up to 2" at 100. Thats crap! 2-their warranty is void if you ever use non-factory ammo in the gun. I reload, so it makes it basically worthless to me. I think a lot of people would shy away from them if they knew these 2 factors, especially if you want to reload. Bergara is true sub moa at 100 yds and you won't void the warranty with reloads.
You are wrong on both accounts. Sub moa guarantee is at 100 yards. Quote from their website "Any firearm that falls under our Sub-MOA Guarantee is guaranteed to be capable of shooting 3 shots within 1 MOA (roughly 1 inch at 100 yards)." Non factory loads does not void the warranty, but damage from improperly loaded ammo does. Another quote from their website "This limited warranty does not cover any damage caused by hand loaded, reloaded, or other improperly loaded ammunition."
@caseyjensen1733 this was directly from the users manual so sorry, I'm not wrong. The only way around that could be a misprint. I was going by their website initially as well and so was quite suprised to see what the users manual said.
@ActinOut Where in their users manual? Let's hear the direct quote. You are still wrong on both accounts. The only thing that might be close to what you said is that Christensen guarantees their rimfires for 1 MOA at 50 yards (approximately 1/2" group at 50 yards), but centerfire rifles are guaranteed for 1 MOA at 100 yards (approximately 1" group at 100 yards)
I own 4 CA, in diveres calibers ,...every one of them shoot at 100meters way sub moa...we are talking about 8-10mm groups for 5 shots...for me it looks like ya reloding sucks dude..cheers from germany
@GGlitter72 I didn't say anything about MY reloading. Only that CA says your warranty is void if you use anything except factory loads. I also haven't shot any reloads with a CA, because I don't have one. BTW, with the reloads I do with the guns I do have, I get abt 3/4", so pretty sure my reloads don't suck. I think you misunderstood my comment.
I hear nothing but issues with CA. I wouldn’t waste the money on their junk.
Thank you and great review! Just sighted in my new CA ridgeline 308 1:10 24” with no feeding or ejection issues. Out of 6 factory loads 4 were sub MOA with one at .5 MOA. Not sure if I got lucky or their quality has improved. Regardless, it’s going to be my new go to gun for California deer and black bear or at least until I find something better.
I have a CA ridgeline in a 22-250 and have shot only factory ammo through it , after breaking it in around 50-70 rounds or so I was able to get 0.75 inch 3 shot group @ 200 yds using factory ammo and it did repeat that many times I know you probably won’t believe this but I also shot it over 650yds many times and the groups measured 1 1/8 inch to 3 inch group in 5mph wind multiple times . I have no issues at all with my ridgeline feeds and extracts great very smooth as well . Also remember CA uses Remington 700 clone action which is held to higher tolerance than the regular Remington 700 action so far I am very impressed with my 22-250 CA .
Is Bergara working on 7prc?
I hope so… that’s what I’m waiting on
They launched 7prc in a few models late Aug 2023. They're just starting to slowly hit the market. So your timing is good.
I have had great luck with the 9 Christensen rifles i have owned. 6 Ridgelines and 3 Mesa's with never an issue, all of mine shot sub-moa but they are picky bastids. I have owned 2 Bergara B14's and a Premier Mountain 2.0, the B14's would not shoot sub-moa despite my best reloading efforts but the Mountain 2.0 would do sub-moa but it had ejection issues. For My taste in Mountain rifles I like a Tikka T3x or even a Kimber Montana (if you can find one)
I’ll keep building from 700 actions thanks
Thank you for this video
My pleasure
Both are to expensive
Bergara hands down despite the fact that Bergara always are more ammo picky than Tikka and Remington, once you find ammo it likes, it will do consistent sub moa
Would be cool if Bergara started doing barreled actions then you could customize from there. Great video, I always liked the Bergaras
Brownells use to care bergaras barreled action, not sure if they still do.
I’d like to see a comparison of the new bergara carbon wilderness ridge vs the ridge line. I think those both are comparable.
@@tychiglo3682i was thinking the same. more of a fair comp..
i watched a christiansen 6.5 creedmoor in a sled shoot 4 inch groups at the range yesterday, my tikka was shooting1/2 inch groups at 100..........
Interesting
But fierce firearms. Best bang for buck. Period
@@longdongsilver5592not so much, I have issues with a Ridgeline and gave Fierce a try and have problems as well. I used both of their warranty to make them right 🤣🤣 My buddy decided to drop 5-6k without optics on a custom rifle and the smith didn’t catch a burr inside the barrel 🤯 He sent it back and they took care of the problem. It’s luck nowadays 😂😂
That was the shooter 😂
Not really apples to apples. The woox makes a huge difference. I have ridgeline in 6.5 prc and haven't had the ejection issues. I also have a b14 hmr in 300 prc. Certainly no complaints about that one. The christensen really likes eld x. The bergara isn't too picky.
The rifle was compared in factory configuration
@Bullets4Bucks I got you. My ridgeline was a brownells barreled action that went into a spare mdt lss chassis. It's pretty accurate. I've never shot one with the factory stock. Good review... except now I want a woox and they don't have a black friday sale.
....friends don't let friends buy either, buy a Howa, Weatherby, or Seekins, & be done.
I have higher end versions of both rifles. My experience has been the opposite. Both my bergaras cant get the brass slung out of the action and it ends up just flopping around backward in the reciever. Accuracy has been great on both bergara and christiansen but i agree that the action feels better on the bergara. I think the accuracy problem is the carbon fiber barrel on yours. It is hard to get a carbon fiber barrel made consistently. Most arent as accurate as advertised. I think the bergara i have is a little more accurate than the christiensen arms but the bergara is 300prc and the christiensen is .338 lapua. Hard to compare apples to oranges there. Not trying to undermind what youre saying though. Its a lot easier to give bergara a pass on its issues because its half the price of the christiensen and a tac driver. If my CA would have had those issues Id have been one unhappy dude.
It took approximately 150 rounds for my Ridgeline started shooting sub moa. Now it shoots .5”-.75” consistently. The action opening is sharp, hits pressure prematurely, and action is not smooth. I will not buy another CA rifle. They are not inexpensive and for what you pay, not worth it to me.
They have lots of issues
dude do ya homework bevor posting a vid...the stock of all CA rifles is carbon fibre ....and not glas
Can you write that in english so it can be read?
It can be read with a little more effort from your side bro and he‘s right
You have always hated Christensen 😂 you have one minded opinion
Lol, I actually wanted one for years. I bought one for almost 2k last year, and it's been a problem. I speak facts based on my experience, and you pull $^* out your ass like you can read my mind.
4 years ago everyone said I hated bergara when I did videos on a lemon hmr and didn't recommend them for years until they started cleaning up their qc issues.
Besides everyone knows this guy is stuck on tikkas balls lol.
Guy 100% posted this for Christenson….laughable…
