7mm prc

[lbrtsn noh]

i am in the market for a 7mm prc amd have narrowed it down to 2 guns. but i am stuck between a Christensen mesa fft titanium or a fierce CT rogue.

i was just hoping for some insight or some pros and cons on either gun as i have read some good and bad about either but just hoping someone that shoots one can steer me in the right direction. thanks

Both of those rifles are notorious for QC issues.

Came here to say exactly that ^^^
Although my CA rifle was the most accurate rifle I own by a narrow margin. Sadly, the barrel finally gave up the ghost and I have yet to start working up a load for the new barrel.
IF you get a good one from either company it should be a tack driver. Just hope that you don't need customer service.

The 7 PRC should serve you well though. With ELD-M's we have taken everything from small Ozark deer to Texas pigs to waterbuffalo. Bang! Flop! with high shoulder shots.

Strike 1 and Strike 2 in the same post.
Buy a Seekins, a Tikka, or build your own depending on budget.

All of my Christensen Arms rifles are great shooters, but i think you should look into a tikka build from UM

What is UM?. I will look into that

I’ve shot multiple of the two rifles you mentioned. I wouldn’t recommend either of them for a hunting/field gun.

The Tikka mentioned by others is a great choice for reliability with lots of aftermarket support.

I would go Seekins over Fierce and Christensen. I have a Seekins Element in 7PRC and it is excellent.

Unknown Munitions. They built my 7 prc Tikka. Its by far my favorite rifle

The UM build may be a bit out of your budget, but it isn't a bad option.

For the price range that you are in based on the two you posted, I would recommend a Seekins or a Browning X-Bolt 2 SPR.

I like my Springfield Boundary and Bergera Ridge Carbon as well. Both shoot sub-MOA.

I gambled on a Fierce Carbon Rival and haven't had any issues. I'm super impressed by how light it kicks for a fairly hot round in a lightweight rifle. It's been plenty accurate too.

Looks like the UM tier 1 is a little cheaper than the CA. Tier 2 is only a little bit more.

Either Tikka or Horizon (if you want more custom)

It’s interesting when I hear about the issues with CA. I don’t own one but in my circle of hunting friends there is a total of 6 CA’s and all of them are shooters, not a single issue with any of them that I have heard.

To the OP, I’d look hard at the Seekins. I’ll be getting a PH3 6cm for daughter next year.
