Anybody have any experience with one of these? Won one in a raffle curious as to any real world experience.

I have a pard with a 300 win mag. I’ll get his take on it. I know he used it twice this season in Kansas. I helped him with a scope mount. Pretty on the outside for sure.
Stand by…….

The only way I'd have a Christensen rifle is if you gave it to me. Then I'd sell it and use the funds to get something that will shoot more consistent. The problem with the CA rifles is consistency. One rifle will shoot in the same hole (not many of them), and most will string the groups and walk on you when the barrel gets warm. And the company claims a 1 moa "guarantee" and do not stand by that. I've sent them several customer rifles that had issues, and they would not fix or repair. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. This is over many rifles, several dealings with the company, and banging my head against the wall at the range wasting ammo trying to dial in some of their rifles. Just my $.02.

Unfortunately they will get to keep doing it. The majority of their buyers are buying status and have no appreciation for function.

Before last season, I purchased a used 2014 270 Classic and lovey it. The muzzle break is a bit much and am considering cutting down the barrel to add a can. For now, I just always make sure to have hearing protection with me.
Take it out, see how it shoots and then you will have you own "data". You may have gotten a good get.

Sell it and use the funds more wisely. Seen several that wouldn't shoot very well.

Value is personal. For a raffle, I'd say you came out ahead.
Ok rifle to carry, shoot two rounds a year, and possibly impress your buddies.
Probably not worth the money if you're looking for a tackdriver.
I've heard, but never experienced, their QC doesn't catch areas where the stock randomly touches the barrel. As the barrel heats up, the float fluctuates.
