Very much! Just was shooting at 1k over the weekend with it and it's great! I shot an antelope at a little over 700 yards last year with the tenmile that's on my Christensen.
Tenmile is a great scope and the element is a great rifle! You will be happy!

Nope, I'm a smaller guy so I get closer then most I would think... it's close, but not been an issue for me - that's with a t-shirt, so worst case scenario. The other random thing is your bolt will make contact and "open" your scope cover with lows but will clear with mediums.
One caveat - the power ring won't clear the rail with lows, but will with mediums. I'm able to have my tenmile with a little clearance for my eye relief - but you will be limited in how far forward you can put the scope with lows. I don't think it will be a problem, but it's worth noting.

Fully set up bipod, sling, can, ammo etc. was right around 11.5-12ish... I don't have it on hand - having a 22" proof barrel installed.
I'll grab weights once it's done, but just rifle and scope was around 9ish if memory serves.

I have a PH2 in 7 PRC and the same NX8 4-32 - I have them in mediums and there’s decent clearance - I have the trijicon tenmile in lows on my element.
I didn’t try the NX8 in lows - it would be tight but miiiight work depending on your rail size.

I had over pressure signs with Hornady as well - my hypothesis is that they are a little too long… I noticed when I would try and eject a loaded Hornady ELD-X cartridge in my CA that it was super hard to remove and there were marks on the bullet that looked like it was in the lands. Federal is...
I bet you will like them... Those speeds posted are a bit slow (new barrel?) but I'm betting you will be around 2900 with the federals.

Sweet, good luck!
For that, ELD-X (Federal > Hornady in my testing) or Terminal ascent would be my recommendation.
ELD-M is also a good hunting bullet.

Curious what type of load you are looking for as there are some pretty decent options on the market from the factory... it's alleviated my need to handload and I just run factory most of the time now.
Where in MT are you at? I used Hoover Precision in Columbia Falls and he was great!
Edit - this is what I ordered based off his recommendation - he had one in shop he sizes to.

Well not a rebarrel, but I had a local smith cut my PH2 to 22".
Didn't shave off a ton of weight, but it did trim off some. Much handier setup! He was able to cut it to 9/16".
Weight is with magazine and rail.

I’ve been really happy with the 170 TAs and that’s the load I run in my Christensen. ~3025 out of a 22” barrel and has shown great accuracy
