Been doing some homework on a new mountain rifle for elk. I've convinced myself that it will be in .300 win mag.
I've sorta narrowed it down to the following rifles
Christensen Arms Mesa
Montana Rifle co. X2
Nosler 48
Sako A7
I've been able to look the nosler and Sako over in person. I'm making the assumption that the MRC X2 is going to be very similar to a Winchester Extreme Weather, which I've been able to check out. Let me know if that's a poor comparison. This leaves only the Mesa that I haven't handled.
Cost wise they are all within budget, and not more than a couple hundred from the cheapest to the most expensive.
Any input on one vs the other?
I don't want to hunt with a brake, but the Mesa is included because it has one that can be removed. The other three don't come standard with a brake.could be nice for range practice, but i do have a lead sled, so it isn't an absolute.
