Browning xbolt pro vs. Christensen ridgeline

[BS7]

Looking for input between the browning xbolt pro and the Christensen ridgeline in 7mm rem mag. I currently have a few xbolts and like them but have no experience with the the ridgeline. Anyone have both? I can’t decide which one to get. Prices are similar and this will be used for mostly Muleys and possibly elk. Scope will be a leupold vx6 3-18x50.

I’m interested also looking at both in a 300 win mag

I'd check out the Ridgeline in 300 PRC, an improved modernized 300 wm

I purchased a Hells Canyon Ambush Long Range McMillian and it will shoot. I loaded it with Berger 210 Hunting VLD at 3.56 length and with H1000 and Labrador was showing 2900 fps. It was half moa with that and the Berger 185 ammo from Berger. I can’t speak to CA past handling them at a store. Seems like a nice rifle but I prefer a shorter bolt throw and I really got to like to magazine on the Browning as well. I was able to adjust the trigger down to an acceptable level plus Timney does one as well. If you want even lighter and don’t need a 1-8” twist take a hard look at the X-Bolt Pro. The ones I have handled have great balance and all the reviews are excellent on them as well. They do have a Pro Long Range Version which is about the same weight as the Hells McMillian with a 1-8” twist barrel. Not that this is something to base a rifle purchase on but the Hells McMillian I have is much easier and quicker to clean vs other rifles I have been around.
