Bought this rifle, and was super excited. Action is sloppy but had high hopes. It calls for Remington 700 bases. I tried 3 brands of bases and the base screws didn’t match the receiver? REM 700 bases are pretty straight forward…

I bought this rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and Cabelas made it a smooth transaction. I have shot it at the range out to 250 yards with 3 types of ammo and gotten moa from all 3. This is the most accurate rifle I own now. The craftmanship is excellent. The rifle balances well and handles great. I have already put a buck in the freezer with it. I installed a 4-12x44 scope on Remington 700 bases with no issue. I am now a Christensen fan.

I bought this Christensen Mesa on sale....thought I was getting a great deal! Turns out, the joke is on me. When I got it home, I took a good look at the bore with a bore light. It look horrible!! Looked like rust and corrosion! The next day, I took it to a Gunsmith. He noticed the rust color too. He also noticed that the stainless steel was a yellowish color. This is highly unusual for stainless steel. He said it happens at about 400 degrees!!
This the 2nd time in 4 months I've had a MAJOR problem with a Cabelas/BassPro rifle!! I don't know what is going on, but I'm extremely disappointed, to say the least!! Can I get at least 1 rifle that's not defective??

Three out of the first four shots were touching with the cheapest 300Win Mag ammo off the shelf. Gun functioned perfectly.

Good light weight rifle the action is similar to the Remington 700 with the bolt release on the receiver while it comes with a triggertech trigger I upgraded it with the triggertech diamond as I have done to all 4 of my Christensen rifles

Great rifle, my first Christensen Arms, but certainly not my last. Handles great, shoots great, a high dollar custom rifle without the high dollar price. Also have to give a big thumbs up to the 6.5 PRC it's chambered for. My first rifle in this caliber and I'm really impressed with it, taking it to Colorado in November on a mule deer hunt.

Great rifle. Mounted a Vortex Viper, sub moa at 100. Got mine in 6.5 PRC, i am a believer in all the 6.5 calibers. Inherently accurate. Can't wait to shoot Mr Big with it.

Gun looks nice on outside. Put bore scope down the barrel before break in shooting and it looks pretty bad. Hopefully after 50-60 rounds will be a lot better. Then I can punch some paper to see what will do.

Just picked up a Mesa 6.5 PRC from Bass Pro in Katy.
Ordered from Calea’s.
Gun was shipped from Cabela’s in Round Rock.
Gun has numerous small scratches indicating that this was some type of in store demo gun. Disappointed that this Mesa was not inspected by the Cabela’s in Round Rock before it was shipped.
Have a 6.5 Creedmoor Mesa.
Super accurate rifle.
Hopefully this PRC will be as accurate.
