I’ve long wanted to find an affordable, quality-built, lightweight, accurate and easy-to-carry rifle for deer and antelope a tall order, no question. Then a couple of years back, Christensen Arms introduced the Mesa, a rifle that appeared to be just what I was looking for. While it may be the gun maker’s entry-level rifle, at US$1,295, the Mesa offers features frequently attributable to more expensive premium-grade rifles.
Let’s start with the Cerakote-finished barrel, which is made out of Christensen Arms 416R stainless steel. It is featherweight contoured, hand lapped, button rifled and free floated, complete with a match chamber and a seamless, stainless steel radial muzzle brake and steel thread protector.
