What’s better than a Christensen?

[Jape]

CA, Fieldcraft, and maybe Browning with the McMillan stock would be my top choices.

Like the looks, weight, and price point of the Mesa...

Look at Fierce. I love mine. Best rifle I have in my collection.

Is Fierce made in US? Pretty sure browning is not

I believe Fierce rifles are made in Canada. The CEO used to run Christensen. mtmuley

I believe components are made in Canada but the barrels are made in US.

I am probably an odd duck... but I have a Christensen and several Tikka t3's. The Christensen shoots awesome, but for hunting I hate the bolt throw (compared to the tikka) and the tight tolerances make me nervous in dirty hunting conditions... always worried about the bolt getting stuck (maybe unfounded, but I think about it). So if I were buying again, I would pick out a Tikka and then upgrade the stock. After shooting both guns for a couple of years now, I can still shoot the tikka's better.

Here's a Christensen for half that. https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/christensen-arms-mesa-6-5cm.128094/#post-1208342

Spend more time behind the rifle you own and upgrade your glass... that’s the ultimate mountain setup

 

[N2TRKYS]

I’d rather have a Remington Model Seven SS.

Great chambering as well

I'd give weaver a serious look if I were you.

 

[sneakypete]

How about the new Proof Reasearch Elevation?

 

[mtmuley]

Pretty affordable for what you get looks like. They should make it with a 26 inch barrel in .300 RUM. mtmuley

That’s not a great deal for a Mesa. Plus looking for 300 win mag.

Man I’m getting beat up on this thread. If I had $2000 to use on a gun I’d be building so I got exactly what I want and throated how I want
