The Mesa Long Range sits in a sweet spot in the Christensen Arms lineup, bridging the gap between the standard Mesa hunting rifle and the heavier ELR and BA Tactical models. This one comes chambered in 6.5 PRC, a cartridge that has earned its keep with hunters and steel-ringers alike thanks to high-BC bullets that hold velocity and buck wind at distances where lesser rounds start to fade. The 26 inch medium palma contour barrel is machined from 416R stainless steel with a 1:8 twist, so it stabilizes the long, heavy 6.5mm bullets this cartridge was designed around.
Instead of a bare hunting stock, Christensen fits this rifle with a carbon fiber composite long range stock featuring adjustable comb height and length of pull via spacers, plus Invar pillars for a rock-solid bedding foundation. That means you can set up proper cheek weld behind a big scope instead of fighting your gear. Up front, a removable seamless side-baffle brake tames recoil on the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, and you can swap it for a suppressor when you want to keep things quiet. A match-grade trigger breaking in the 2.5 to 3.5 pound range rounds out the package, and the whole rifle carries a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory.
The 416 stainless billet receiver features an enlarged ejection port and accepts standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases, so mounting glass is dead simple and your options are nearly endless. The twin-lug bolt is spiral fluted and nitride treated, running an M16-style extractor with a skeletonized handle and fluted knob. Rounds feed from a 4+1 internal magazine with machined billet aluminum bottom metal and a hinged floorplate, keeping the profile clean for field carry. Finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote over a green stock with black and tan webbing, this rifle looks as good on the bench as it performs at 800 yards. If you have been wanting one rifle that hunts hard and still holds tight groups at serious distance, the Mesa LR makes a strong case.
Yes, Christensen Arms backs the Mesa Long Range with their factory Sub-MOA Guarantee. With quality factory match or hunting ammo, these rifles routinely print well under an inch at 100 yards. The 6.5 PRC tends to shoot heavier ELD-X and ELD Match style loads especially well, so it's worth testing a few to find what your barrel likes.
No, this model feeds from a 4+1 internal magazine with billet aluminum bottom metal and a hinged floorplate. It keeps the underside of the rifle slick for carrying in the field and unloads easily by dropping the floorplate. If you prefer detachable box magazines, that would require aftermarket bottom metal and stock work.
The receiver is drilled and tapped and compatible with standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases, which is about as universal as it gets. You'll have no trouble finding rails, rings, or one-piece mounts from just about every major manufacturer. A 20 MOA rail is a popular choice if you plan to stretch this rifle out past 800 yards.
Yes. The side-baffle muzzle brake is removable, and the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just keep in mind the 26 inch barrel already makes for a long rifle, so a shorter or reflex-style can is worth considering for field use.
