After being featured on the cover of Field & Stream magazine, the number one question I received is, “What rifle is that?” I held my daughter’s rifle in the image. Fortunately, she let me use the lightweight, tack-driving, sportster she loves to use for her hunts.
The article wasn’t about me or the rifle, but since everyone wanted to know, I’ll tell you about that beautiful gun. It’s a Christensen Arms with a Remington 700 action, chambered in .270 Winchester Super-Short Magnum, also known as .270 WSSM. The short round is a hot one, but the muzzle brake at the end helps reduce recoil since the carbon-fiber stock makes it a lightweight gun for a youth hunter (or any hunter) to carry in the woods.
We acquired the custom hunting rifle from a friend some time ago. He was happy to know that it would go to a fine young lady who loves to hunt. Lea is a lefty but shoots right-handed bolt-action rifles proficiently. She’s taken numerous elk, mule deer, and other big game animals with the gun. I’m sure she’ll never trade it in, but for my other friends who are always asking, look what Christensen has now!
