Design and Materials

The Mesa’s carbon fiber composite gunstock reduces overall mass without sacrificing rigidity. Paired with a featherlight contour stainless barrel, that stock helps the rifle maintain a solid point-of-impact and repeatable tracking after each shot. The seamless removable radial muzzle brake is notable: it reduces felt recoil while maintaining a clean harmonics profile so the barrel preserves accuracy potential.

Accuracy and Guarantee

Christensen Arms supports the Mesa with a Sub-MOA Guarantee, which speaks to confidence in barrel and bedding geometry. For hunters dialing in loads or punching targets at extended ranges, the combination of stainless steel barrel steel and the carbon composite bedding system contributes to consistent groups and reliable zero retention across conditions.

Tactical and Hunting Applications

Weighing from 6.5 pounds, the Mesa is tailored for long approaches and glassing-heavy hunts where packability matters. The muzzle brake option is useful for larger calibers to reduce recoil and speed follow-up shots; select calibers will dictate specific ballistic performance and downrange energy, so choose the chambering that matches your game and engagement distance.
