I’m considering upgrading to a Christensen arms ridgeline in 6.5 that weighs in 6.2lb according to the website. I have an old Remington 270 with mag-na-ports. With a heavy leather sling and no scope/rings it weighs in at 7.2 lbs. it has a shorter barrel, around 20”.
I’m not concerned on the difference in cartridges, both would be fine for my self imposed range limit of 350 yards. I’ll put a VX5-HD 2-10 on it.
Is the extra pound of difference worth the $1500 for a new rifle? I do like new, fancy rifles... but I’m thinking it wouldn’t be worth it. That’s a lot of practice ammo to work with.
Thanks!
