Christensen Arms or Browning Xbolt?

[swampthing]

How far did you shoot those rifles out too, and what bullets were you using

Way too many bullets/loads to post here. The mesas that shot were both 7 rems. They shot well with all 160-175gr loads. The mesa that was never better than 1.5" was a 708. I tried many loads in it with the same results. My brownings have been in 243, 270wsm, 28 nosler and 325wsm. They have all been picky with their loads but all shot .5" to "75" at 100 yards with a load they like. I have always been a browning guy but the christensens just feel and look more "quality" to me. Their triggertech triggers cant be beat as well.

anyone had experiences with a mesa in 300 win mag?

Due to the stock designs and triggers, these rifles don't feel anything alike when you are in a shooting position...you will prefer one or the other.

Which do you prefer for prone?

I’ll take CA Ridgeline over any browning, have a few A bolts love them but I rather have a Ridgeline

The best place to research anything about CA is on LRO

What does LRO mean?
