New springfield rifle. .75 MOA guarantee

Looks like around $2k

---

MSRP ranges from $1600 to $2400 depending on options (like carbon fiber barrel)

ETA: I want to ask if Christensen is making these rifles for Springfield Armory.

that receiver body and barrel sure looks like a Christensen Ridgeline

I can understand introducing it in popular calibers for sales, but 6CM & 6.5 PRC leaves me scratching my head.

Lots of $600 rifles will shoot 1 moa out of the box, so why spend $2k?

Because 1 MOA may be the best the $600 dollar rifles can do.
if you reload, you can get 1/3 MOA or better out of rifles with quality features:
-the trigger breaks like glass
-carbon fiber barrel blanks start at $700 from CA ($900 for a Proof)
-the barrel harmonics are like a match barrel with the weight of a sporter
-the barrel rifling quality control is much better
-the bolt & receiver are already blueprinted
-chamber is reamed to allow for greater seating depth adjustments (VLD bullets touching the lands)
-$600 rifles dont have carbon fiber kevlar stocks
-the adjustable stock for good check weld & ergonomics
-you're paying the licensing fees to Kuiu & Kryptek for the stock colors

...what am I leaving out? Not trying to be a smart arse, I've looked at cheaper rifles and what it would take a gunsmith to get performance where I wanted it. And I was right back up to $2k....so I just bought another christensen.

But you may ask, "Duckhammer, why go to all this expense and trouble for a hunting rifle?"

Because I want to.

Well that was kind of my point, you can change triggers and stocks for less than $2K
