Very nice review young man. Glad I found your channel. Stay with it, and continue your precise and up front reviews. 👍👍👍 Once a soldier, always a soldier
My Weatherby vanguard is better then a Christensen, hell ruger American is better then a Christensen 😂. Idk how the hell they get away selling Christensen at that price point it's wild. But great review on the Weatherby 👍
I think the only way to establish accuracy is to shoot thirty rounds at the same target at the same spot, Also it has been my experience that a bipod yields the best accuracy form the prone position. If you do that I think you will find that most rifles shoot 2 MOA at 100 yards, In my opinion that would be a great shooting rifle because thirty rounds and 2 MOA takes into consideration shooter error. Love your effort to produce good content.
Have you ever given CA a call to figure out the ejection problems. Are you using the same gun you've always had problems with? Hasnt CA done some work to improve their quality control in the last year?
Been around 4 Weatherby backcountry rifles. Most accurate have been 30/378 carbon barrels. They have to break in a bit., All will shoot under half moa with factory ammo with some testing. They really like hammer bullets that Weatherby loads.
I used to watch another channel called Guns. Gear, and Outdoors Alaska with Allen. I see he did a joint video with you in the past, and I have not see any new videos uploaded to his channel in about a year. Do you know what happeded to him, as I really liked his videos.
@@Bullets4Bucks Dang, the other guy from Alaskan Ballistics said the same. Hope he is doing ok. He had some really good info on his channel, and it's kind of odd he just stop putting out content.
Wondering what you opinion is on the peak stock. Did you find you had a correct cheekweld relative to your scope or was you head slightly above the stock?
I love the stock. Cheek comb is a bit low so I add a cheek pouch/pad. It is super light weight that therefore not the strongest probably but great for backcountry hunting.
I'll tell you what a gunsmith and part time employee at Sportsman's warehouse told me. In a nutshell, steer clear of the Ridgeline but no issues he's ever heard of with the CA Mesa and actually they are pretty decent rifles. I sold a custom rifle to a fellow lefty not long ago. He was shopping for a CA Ridgeline but after we talked he did some homework and opted not to move fwd. However, he did tell me he has 2 CA Mesa rifles and loves them both - very accurate
I had some hang ups on my Christiansen Ridgline FFT, but that has smoothed out, similar to your Weatherby action. My Ridgline FFT is now running very smooth and it shoots MOA with my 6.8 Western. I’ll admit, it took about 60 rounds, but I can’t say enough about it now. It only weighs 5.3 lbs, so it’s insanely light. Coupled that with the short action of the 6.8 Western, and it’s proven to be the perfect setup for Mountain hunting. That Weatherby is very good looking.
hey community, l'm on the way to buying a 308 or 300 rifle and would like to get a second opinion. browning x bolt speed, weatherby mark v hunter, model 307 meateater, bergara b-14. I like to shoot at long range, hunting, of course the weapon has to shoot well (precisely) and it should be long-lasting and not get hot too quickly
Great review again. No fluff, no personal agendas, hits the features and the concerns, I can always count on honest reviews. Keep them coming!
I appreciate that!
Very nice review young man. Glad I found your channel. Stay with it, and continue your precise and up front reviews. 👍👍👍

Thank you
I worked with weatherby for years great people great product and they stand by their customers
Great honest review, thanks Stephen.
Thanks for watching!
I thought it was odd that the weatherby only has the 18” barrel in 338 and the 308 was 22”. Went with Fierce to get the 18” 308.
My Weatherby vanguard is better then a Christensen, hell ruger American is better then a Christensen 😂. Idk how the hell they get away selling Christensen at that price point it's wild. But great review on the Weatherby 👍
Weatherby has always been over Overrated.
Never owned a weatherby but I have disowned a christensen and don't even need to see the weatherby to assume it's better
Can you do review on Bergara Crest Carbon ?
Slim you missed the most important part of the video what was the cost of the guns

I've never owned a Weatherby that was easily sub Moa with factory.
I have the 270 weatherby in their accumark I bought new for just over 1000 dollars
Nice
They are $1700 brand new now ha
I love my Weatherby Mark V.

Mine is accurate now but took a long time
@alez-uz7wd
My experience has been exactly the same, hand loads and factory hammers have been under one moa

I do not and have not been able to reach him...

What are your thoughts on the standard steel barrel Christensen Mesa?
I just see too many issues with christensen extraction, ejection and feeding. However, I have heard those shoot well

None of they above
@@Bullets4Bucks why that?
Do you have any suggestions?
@@Basti0017 Sako, Seekins or Fierce
@@Bullets4Bucks they are too expensive 😅 i want a only a rifle for under 1500$
@@Basti0017 believe the havak ph2 or sako s20 can be had that cheap. 🤔 idk though since inflation is out of control
lol operator error…
No
@@Bullets4Bucks lol or made up. Doesn’t seem to happen in the video of you shooting. I own a ridgeline in 6.5 prc and it doesn’t happen to me.
@@Bullets4Bucks most likely
@@matthewkyle6939 watch the review I filmed on just the christensen ridgeline
@matthewkyle6939 you assume a lot and know so little. You speak as if you were at the range every time I shot it. Lol, you moron
I would take Christensen over Weatherby any day, it's not even close.
I'd take a sako or fierce over both
