Message: <blockquote data-quote="SLE" data-source="post: 346888" data-attributes="member: 3889">I considered a Christensen Arms on my last build but there were just too many questionable reviews laying out there for me to drop $2-3k on one. I was after a lightweight long range build that I could source highly accurate factory ammo (I just don't have the time or desire to reload). I ended up with a Fierce Firearms Carbon CT in a 6.5 PRC. The biggest complaint I was able to find with fierce was on the customer service side but very few related to performance issues. I did spend more $$ than the comparable CA and was very hesitant and a bit skeptical with it after ordering but after a few years of ownership I have been nothing but impressed as have a few of my buddies that have had the opportunity to shoot it. It's light weight, the action is smooth as butter, it's light, low recoil, and shoots fantastic (.3 MOA with 11 fps SD using factory Horinday 147 ELDMs). Thus far, this gun is far and way my favorite gun in my arsenal right now. I do have one complaint which is with the muzzle brake that's on it. It came with a radial brake which is highly effective at reducing recoil however for a long range gun that I am often times shooting in the prone position, brakes that are downward facing blow dirt, dust, rocks, and you name it back at you. The only reason I haven't changed it is I know I'll have to re-chrono it and dial it back in with a different brake. Not sure this helps but I would expect the Fierce to be almost a direct competitor to CA.Side note, I believe that the fierce and CA are more similar in price now than when I purchased mine a few years ago. at that time the fierce definitely more dollars all things being equal.Maybe the bigger question is what is your plan for optics, rings, bi-pod, etc. Those components are going to mean as much or more than the gun. Does little good to have a 1/2 MOA gun when the other pieces don't measure up. I'm running a Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 with Nightforce rings. great scope but feel it lacks a little in low light conditions however better than anything else in the safe, so hard to throw shade at it, lol.</blockquote>
