It is pretty tiny, lightest rifle set up I have ever hauled around.

 

[JD Jones]

Standing by for your review! Mine (280ai) is coming in at 7.2# scoped and shooting good so far

 

[Tony Trietch]

Final check before I hit the rd. Unknown Munitions is proving to be very accurate. Review is coming. Typing this weekend

ZMOA-T30

How have you been liking that reticle? Are you going to dial or hold over? I’m looking at the 4-16x50 with that same reticle.

I like it, with the moa labeled it makes it easier to use. I dial elevation but use the moa hash marks for windage.

Nice rig!

Are you pleased with the overall value of the Zeiss v4 versus other options considered now that you’ve taken the rifle out? Tracking, clarity, low light for the price point

Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Review

Good write up Tony.

 

[RWT]

Interesting as I am waiting on a custom build that is very similar In the configuration. Similar rifle and scope. Can‘t wait to read the review on the scope.

 

[axeforce6]

I'm considering that scope for my 300wsm build. Trying to make the ultimate hunting rifle. 20" barrel. Want it on the lighter side. I have a Ziess V6 5-30 that I love, but want something a little more compact.

Hey Tony Ive been following this thread and just read your review. Good stuff.

I have a ridgeline fft ordered in the same color scheme as yours chambered in .300 prc.
I am worried about the recoil from a bigger caliber in such a light rifle! Should I be?? or do you think the .300 recoil will be manageable with this muzzle break?

I can always throw a suppressor on to shoot it but would like the option to hunt and shoot well without a Supressor when I’m on longer backpacking trips.

I’m not Tony but my buddy has the 28nos. It’s sharp and the muzzle flips but he was holding MOA and he doesn’t shoot all that often. 300prc will thump but the brake is vastly improved over the last version. Personally, I think the 280ai or 6.5prc is a sweet spot for this rifle in particular (but I’m biased).

I may have missed you mentioning this in the review but what pic rail are you running?

The break on the Christiansen worked pretty well but it was only a 6.5 PRC. I can’t speak to how the brake will work for 300.
