My buddies have been buying Christensen arms lately like they’ve been going out of style. lol. Never owned one and don’t know if I ever will. They upgraded to them from their cheaply made Ruger American go wild 450BM’s. Don’t think they shoot any more accurate but the build quality is alot better. I know one of them had a short barreled rifle 223 version and the accuracy was horrible. He got rid of it pretty quickly. I always forget about the Bergara rifles because I haven’t bought a brand new rifle in a long, long time. I get more excited about a vintage, discontinue, used rifle lately. Only owned one Tika and I should’ve kept it. It was in 22- 250 I bought for 200 bucks. It’s back in the late 90s. I guy won it at an Unlimited banquet. It was entry-level model with a Tupperware stock. If put my hand on the front end the stock would rub against the barrel. So, if I backed the bolt out, it literally was so loose it felt like it was gonna fall out of the action. I knew I could’ve upgraded it at the time with a better stock. I was just getting into predator hunting at the time and going through calibers nonstop trying them. I remember shooting a squirrel and blowing it up like it stepped on dynamite and thought I’m never gonna say fur with that Caliber…lol. I’m sure I’d still own it If I knew back then what I know today. I wish i had it now! Always wanted a lightweight 22-250walking varmint gun..and had one! I Traded it off for a VLS 243 and never looked back. I did upgrade to a HS precision stock and a Timney trigger. It one if the most accurate, if not the the most accurate rifle, I own with hand loads. Too bad they don’t make them like they used to. If it were me, I’d rather have a better quality gun with cheaper glass. I can always upgrade the optic through my lifetime. I change optics like I change my underwear. lol.
