The Mesa Long Range takes everything people like about Christensen's standard Mesa and stretches its legs for serious distance work. Chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 26 inch 416R stainless steel barrel in a medium Palma contour, it gives that flat-shooting magnum cartridge the full-length tube it deserves. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets the 6.5 PRC was built around, and Christensen backs the whole package with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. A removable stainless side-baffle brake comes threaded onto the 5/8×24 muzzle, which takes real bite out of recoil during long strings behind the glass.
The receiver is machined from 416 stainless billet with an enlarged ejection port, and it runs a twin-lug, spiral-fluted bolt with a nitride treatment and skeletonized handle. The match-grade trigger breaks between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds, clean enough for deliberate shots without being touchy in cold-weather gloves. Feeding comes from an internal magazine with billet aluminum bottom metal and a hinged floor plate, good for 4+1 in 6.5 PRC. The action is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases, so mounting a scope is about as easy as it gets.
Where the Mesa LR really separates itself from typical hunting rifles is the carbon fiber composite long-range stock. The comb height adjusts with spacers so you can get proper cheek weld behind a big objective, the grip is more vertical for prone and bench work, and Invar pillars keep the bedding consistent as temperatures swing. Finished in black with gray webbing, it matches the Tungsten Cerakote on the barreled action, a coating that shrugs off weather and field wear season after season.
Starting at 8.9 pounds, this rifle carries lighter than most dedicated precision rigs while shooting well beyond most hunting rifles. Every one is hand built in the USA, and for anyone chasing elk across a canyon or ringing steel at distance, it covers both jobs with one rifle.
Yes, Christensen Arms backs the Mesa Long Range with their sub-MOA guarantee. With quality factory match ammo, this rifle is built to print groups under one inch at 100 yards. The hand-lapped 416R stainless barrel and match-grade trigger do a lot of the heavy lifting there.
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with billet aluminum bottom metal and a hinged floor plate. In 6.5 PRC you get 4+1 capacity. Some folks prefer the cleaner lines and quiet carry of a floor plate setup for hunting, and unloading is quick with the hinged design.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases, which is about the most common footprint out there. Since it is a short action, grab bases or a one-piece rail cut for a Rem 700 short action and you will have no shortage of ring and mount options.
It is. The stainless side-baffle brake threads onto a standard 5/8×24 muzzle, so you can swap it for a suppressor or thread protector without any gunsmithing. The 26 inch barrel does make for a long package with a can attached, which is worth considering for your setup.
