The modern hunter and precision shooter needs a rifle that balances lightweight carry with repeatable accuracy. Whether glassing for long-range targets or stalking across mountain terrain, you want a platform that tucks into a pack without sacrificing performance. The CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA delivers that balance with design choices that prioritize weight savings and sub-MOA precision for everyday field use.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA

Lightweight engineering with field-ready features

The Mesa is positioned as a premium quality lightweight hunting rifle at an accessible price point of $1299.99. Key to its handling is the featherlight contour stainless steel barrel paired with a carbon fiber composite gunstock. That barrel profile keeps mass down while maintaining harmonic stability; the carbon fiber stock further reduces carry weight and improves rigidity compared with traditional polymers or wood.

Removable radial muzzle brake and recoil management

The seamless removable radial muzzle brake is a practical touch for hunters who need recoil control on heavier cartridges but also want an unobstructed muzzle for packing or suppressor mounting. The removable design lets you tune recoil mitigation to the cartridge and mission, improving follow-up shots and shooter comfort in the field.

Accuracy guarantee and real-world applications

Christensen Arms backs the Mesa with its Sub-MOA Guarantee, which is notable at this price and weight class. For hunters and precision shooters, that promise means the rifle is engineered and tested to deliver consistent groups at typical hunting ranges. While specific calibers vary across models, the Mesa’s platform supports common hunting cartridges and remains suited for mountain hunts, long-range varmint work, and tactical precision practice.

Brand pedigree matters: Christensen Arms has built a reputation for blending composite stock technology with advanced barrel manufacturing. The Mesa carries that lineage into a broadly accessible package in the bolt action category.
