Ever need a quick follow up shot on a heavy recoiling rifle? Or try to see what you just took a shot at out of a lightweight 300 WM at 600 yards? Compare that to a rifle with little recoil. IMO, keeping your site picture after the shot is just as important as before taking the shot. Just trying to add another thing to consider when choosing a rifle/caliber for the specific purpose.

Considering the OP, said he isn't going to shoot past 300 yards, won't even try it. "Flat shooting" rifles don't even have to be considered. Hell, why not just go with 30-30? i mean it's only been around since the 1800s, killed as many if not more critters than a 06, with much less recoil. It's nowhere near as sexy as the newer offerings, but there is minimal recoil, good to over 300 yards (doesn't matter in this case), ammo is cheap and everywhere. And for shìts and gigs, it's fun and feels kind of traditional deer hunting with a Marlin 336 lever.

If you are not dead set on a Christensen, there are other options. One may be a Tikka Lite or Superlite. Both could be had with custom lightweight stock (maybe even carbon stock) and be sub MOA for that price. If you are shooting under 4-500 yards, the Creed would be fine. Keep in mind that lighter rifles can be a little harder to shoot than heavy ones.
