Sako 90 Peak vs Christensen Ridgeline
Sakko300wsm:
Have a couple Christensen Ridgelines - my 6.5 PRC is probably the best shooting rifle I’ve owned and it’s on factory ammo

How do your Sakos
shoot?
ipkus:
If his 6.5 Ridgeline shoots like mine you don’t care about any other guns.
Sneaky:
My 6.5CM ridgeline shoots sub 1 inch with everything I have ever shot out of it - all factory ammo. From 156 bergers to 127gr LR-X... I've never owned a rifle that performed that well over such a wide range of ammunition. It could also be that the 6.5's are inherently accurate. Lots of folks are getting great performance out of the savage ultralight rifles for quite a bit less money.
That being said, the rifle when I got it had some tool marks on the inside that I didn't think were acceptable on an 1800$ rifle. While they mentioned it wouldn't affect performance, Christensen agreed and I sent the rifle back to have it repaired. They had a super fast turn around and the rifle came back looking fresh and shooting awesome. Good customer service.
As others have mentioned, north of 3k is a lot of money if you're not going full custom. I would go with the ridgeline and spend the other 1500$ on optics.
