6.5 PRC

Dont let that booger "I mean bereger " slinger deter you from the eldx

I have personally croaked around 30 animal with them the last few years. From 50-780 yards. The first series came apart more and was more like a ballistic tip. The 2nd gen is better, now I still prefer accubonds but they are a solid choice. Plus the 6.5 and 7 stw love them so thats what they get fed.

I thought of you the other night. I was watching a dall sheep hunt where the guy talked up the 143 eldx (hornady sponsored show of course) then had to shoot a ram 4 times at 150 yards before it finally died  I was like man that brings back some memories

  It don't help when they shoot them in the hoof! If it was a berger, would have dropped dead from a hoof shot! Not one anaimal can take a berger bullet shot and even take one step! Even if its the hoof!

AT LEAST we can agree on Accubonds

Any of you with Christensen Arms Ridgeline 6.5 PRC ever look at the inside of the barrel with a borescope?  I bought one a couple weeks ago, borescoped it right out of the box and this was my reaction 

I was actually pretty disappointed how it looked.  Tool marks up and down the barrel.  The throat didn't appear to be cut all that well and just kind of an all around crappy looking barrel.  It's about what I would have expected from a $6-700 over the counter production gun but certainly not what I was expecting to see from it.  I do have to say CA was great about wanting to get it back and didn't hesitate in the slightest about sending me a prepaid FedEx label so maybe I just got unlucky.  No big deal I know it happens but It'll be interesting to see what it looks like when I get it back.

Nope, never looked.  When it puts 3 inside 3" at 700 I don't care if it's got buck teeth, a tatoo of Cardi B, and jock itch, it will work for what I need it to do.

You could tell me it has the 'rona and I would shoot it if it shoots like mine does.

The inside of my barrel could look like a graffiti contest and I'm not calling CA about it!

Bore scopes I’m pretty sure where invented by barrel manufacters.  Most folks see what the barrel looks like and freak out.  But B23 has some experience in this area.  Personally I’d see how it shot before making a call but I’ve seen what looked like dry lake bed shoot 1/4” and barrrls that looked great shoot 3”. 

[b23]

I hear what you're saying but it has also been my experience rough barrels can shoot very well but they also have a tendency to foul much more rapidly and be copper hogs.

I considered seeing how it would shoot but I'm setting this gun up to give my dad and it will, at least for awhile, be shot with factory Hornady 147 Match ammo and that stuff is just to hard to come by I really didn't want to waste any of it seeing "if" it would shoot.

It's been kind of a long time since I've bought an over the counter factory gun, maybe I'm expecting to much from it.
