anybody got anything to say about them. im eyeballing the ridgline

The new Mesa looks good. The Ridgeline is the best deal going for a carbon barrel rifle. I saw a 280 Ack the other day for $1550. Can't beat that!

I have no personal dealings with them but their reviews are why I went another direction. Google is your friend.

I toted my buddies Christensen Arms 7mm around Northern MT this past Nov. on a mulie hunt for 3 days (something happened to my .257 Wby mag) and it's a nice rifle. Carbon wrapped barrel, pretty light rig, & shoots well w/ a crisp 2.5 lb. trigger. Not sure what he paid for it but it did the trick for both of us, he shot a real nice mulie at ~200 yds & I had my 1 shot 1 kill at 337 yds.
