Having rebarreled several of the Christensen Arms rifles, with conventional barrels, I can say that I would not own one.  They seem to be hit or miss on accuracy, and I have honestly yet to see one that will shoot with a properly installed custom barrel.  For the money, there are better options for sure.

There are lots of options if you feel you need to pay 4000.

From what I hear RBros...you are one of those "better" options.  I haven't contacted you yet, I'm still doing my homework.

I hear nothing but good about Washington's own benchmark barrels, although I have never spun one and I have not looked over the contours.
I just had a Weatherby 257 rebarreled with a Benchmark barrel.  It is now the most accurate rifle I have ever owned.

i bought mine in 1997 and the barrel has the #3 on it, roland has # 1 no idea who has #2 but i think mine still shoots lights out after a few thousand rounds. i dont know if i would spend the money on a custom gun again though. i think about beating it up.

You don't have to drop the coin again. Now you just spin up a tube and buy another 3k primers. Should be able to re tube it under 5 bills.

If you want light, custom, and have 4K burning a hole in your pocket, go with Mcwhorter rifles.
