$1750 shipped to your FFL (gun only, scope not included). Will throw in 30 mm medium leupold backcountry rings for $50.

Selling my Ridgeline 300 PRC (bronze) with 80 rounds on it. I have only ever taken it to the range. There are two very small blemishes on the carbon fiber barrel from the manufacturer (shown in the same pic, but one is hard to see). There is a small hole in the recoil pad, but I can't recall how it showed up. Everything else is in excellent condition.

The 2 groups I posted were with factory 212 gr ELD-X and 225 gr ELD-M rounds. Disclaimer: I am not the best rifle shooter and it was blowing 20+ mph. I have shot slightly better groups in good conditions. The barrel likes 225s a little more than the 212s.


Background on why I'm selling:
I bought this gun for an Alaska Moose hunt I went on in September. I was breaking in the barrel, and I started to get really heavy bolt lift and loose primers on rounds 40-59, with the problem worsening as I got to 59. I sent the gun in to Christensen. They cleaned it, shot it, sent it back and found nothing wrong with the gun. I got the gun back about a week before I left for for Alaska. I didn't have time to set it up and sight it in before going. I brought it to the range for the 1st time since over the weekend. I shot 21 rounds (in pics) with zero issues. Selling because I dont need the big caliber.20201117_181237.jpg20201117_181249.jpg20201117_181725.jpg20201117_181814.jpg20201117_181914.jpgScreenshot_20201117-182724_Range Buddy.jpgScreenshot_20201117-182916_Range Buddy.jpg

What he said. I have no issues with recoil thanks to the brake. I have a Tikka T3X .30-06, which has crazy recoil compared to this gun.

I would bet its the ammo not the rifle thats causing high pressure. I had the same thing happen to me with a 300 win. Howa I had using Hornady ammo, I changed ammo and never had another problem.
