Ouch...that thing kicks
Given the choice, which one would you go for? I know, not entirely an apples to apples comparison (other than the fact they are both chassis rifles) but just curious if anyone has had experience with either one of them and has any thoughts? This would be in 6.5 CRDM w/ 24" tube. I'd use it for "long range" plinking and hunting.
I've heard nothing but good things about the Tikka but it's a tank at over 11 lbs., (MPR is 3 lbs. lighter). The Tikka still has the price advantage, for sure.
I don't know much about Chritensen arms or carbon fiber wrapped barrels for that matter. They look cool but I'm a "form follows function" guy, so if carbon fiber wrapped barrels are a passing "fad" or inferior in any significant way, I'm out. I understand their chief purpose is cutting weight but at what cost?
Thanks for any feedback.
