If you can’t do that part yourself, you shouldn’t own a gun. It’s like 2 bolts.

lol, thank you, just never done it.

I get it I was just joking a bit. It really is easy, I bet a guy who has never done it before can get it done in under 10 minutes. Same with mounting scopes, changing triggers and stuff like that.

Talk to me about Christensen Mesa. Stainless action? Says the barrel is can’t find anything on the action. Have heard mixed reviews on quality control and accuracy.

I have a Ridgeline, but they're essentially the same rifle except for the carbon wrapped barrel. I had a small issue with the fore end of the stock making barrel contact but other than that, it's been a .5 MOA gun and I would not hesitate to buy another if I was looking for that style of rifle. They've had some QC in the past for what usually seemed like 300 WM/300 WSM guns but it feels like that's worked out. Stainless action and barrel but I think they offer cerakote options as well.

I know there's some guys that don't care if a gun is 8 or 9 pounds instead of 7-7.5 but I'm not one of them if I have to lug the thing around all day.

What caliber did you decide?

7mm rem mag, why do you ask?

Just curious. Excellent cartridge. Good luck on the auction. Short of grizzly or brown bear, I would hunt anything in North America with the 7mm RM. Set up one load for deer. A heavier one for elk.

what length barrel you recommend for a 300 wm?

I am very happy with my Christensen Arms Mesa. It comes from the factory with all the bolt on improvements (trigger, carbon composite stock) that I have added to my 700s over the years. Also the bore doesn't collect copper like my stainless 700.

They are stainless, I own a mesa and a ridgeline and know two others that own ridgelines without any issues.
Below are three different loads with the rifle under 40 rounds through it and bone stock right out of the box.
The targets below are a 6.5 PRC CA Mesa . My ridgeline 300 WM shoots smaller groups with bullets it likes.

I would want a 24”. Any shorter gives up performance. Any longer would be just too long for me.
