The Mesa LR is what happens when Christensen Arms takes their proven Mesa hunting rifle and stretches it out for serious distance work. At the heart of it is a 24 inch medium Palma contour barrel in 416R stainless steel, button rifled with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the heavy match bullets most 308 handloaders and factory ammo fans gravitate toward. The barrel is hand lapped, free floated, and cut with a match chamber, and every rifle ships with Christensen's Sub-MOA guarantee. That guarantee is not marketing fluff either. These rifles have built a reputation for printing tight groups right out of the box with ammo they like.
The carbon fiber composite stock is where this rifle separates itself from the standard Mesa. It is built for shooting from a rest or prone, with adjustability to dial in your fit behind the optic. Invar pillars and spot bedding keep the action seated consistently even when temperatures swing, which is a real consideration if you are shooting a cold morning match or hunting in shifting weather. A Limbsaver recoil pad takes the edge off, though with the removable seamless side-baffle brake up front, 308 recoil on this rifle is downright pleasant. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so swapping the brake for a suppressor is a five minute job.
The receiver follows the Remington 700 footprint and comes drilled and tapped for standard 700 pattern bases, so scope mounting options are nearly endless. You get a skeletonized bolt handle, enlarged ejection port, improved bolt release, and a crisp match-grade trigger that breaks clean without creep. Feeding comes from a 4+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate machined from billet aluminum, keeping the profile slick for carrying. At a starting weight of 8.9 pounds, it is heavier than Christensen's featherweight hunters but that extra mass is exactly what you want for steady holds at distance. In the Tungsten Cerakote finish, it looks as good as it shoots.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases, which is about as universal as it gets in the bolt gun world. You can run two-piece bases, a one-piece rail with built-in cant for long range work, or just about any 700 footprint mounting solution. No sights are included, so budget for glass and mounts when you plan your build.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for most 30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. The factory side-baffle brake is seamless and removable, so you can spin it off and mount a can directly or run a QD mount of your choice.
Christensen Arms backs this rifle with a factory Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it should print groups under one inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. The hand lapped, free floated 416R stainless barrel and match chamber do the heavy lifting, while the spot bedded stock with Invar pillars keeps the action consistent across temperature changes. The 1:10 twist handles the full range of common 308 bullet weights, including the heavier match loads.
No, this model feeds from a 4+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate machined from billet aluminum. It keeps the bottom of the rifle slick and snag free for field carry, and the floorplate lets you dump rounds quickly without cycling them through the action.
