Title: Rifle comparisons
Post by: klickriverchromer on November 30, 2016, 06:32:08 PM: Looking at a Christensen arms ridgeline 6.5 or a Fierce edge 6.5 anyone have one? Or any other suggestions in the $2500 or less range.

Christensen is a solid rifle, I've had two. Overpriced for what you get IMO however. I've not owned a Fierce.

Post by: klickriverchromer on November 30, 2016, 08:28:30 PM: Not sure about the Christensen anymore. Leaning more words the fierce just was curious if anyone had one what they thought about it
