Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range .338 Lapua Magnum Bolt-Action Rifle - Black
CHRISTENSEN ARMS
The Christensen Arms BA Tactical is a purpose-built long-range rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, engineered for shooters who demand precision at distance. Built around a Black Nitride action with a full 20-MOA integral Picatinny rail, this rifle integrates a carbon fiber-wrapped 416R stainless barrel with a target profile and comes topped with a removable stainless steel side-baffle muzzle brake. The BA Tactical combines lightweight carbon fiber construction with the rigidity and accuracy required for serious long-range work, tipping the scales at a svelte 7.4 pounds—exceptional for a magnum rifle in this class.
The action is the foundation of any precision rifle, and Christensen Arms equipped the BA Tactical accordingly. A fully adjustable match trigger, trued receiver face, dual ejectors for magnum reliability, and an oversized fluted bolt knob deliver the mechanical precision long-range shooters expect. The action's enlarged ejection port and tactical mag release work seamlessly with AICS-compatible detachable magazines for fast, efficient reloads in the field or at the range. The twin lug spiral fluted bolt reduces weight and rotational inertia without sacrificing strength.
The tactical carbon fiber composite stock was designed with adjustment in mind. Shooters can dial in comb height, length of pull, and butt cant using included spacers to achieve a custom fit. A front Picatinny rail and five flush-cup mounts let you configure sling attachment and accessory mounting to suit your setup. The modified beavertail forearm, stainless steel pillars, and spot bedding foster consistent barrel harmonics and predictable shot groups. Black stock with gray webbing gives the rifle a professional, business-like appearance that works in the field or on the bench.
Christensen Arms backs the BA Tactical with their Sub-MOA Guarantee—a statement of confidence in the rifle's accuracy potential. Whether you're pursuing distant game or ringing steel at precision distances, this rifle delivers the foundation and features serious long-range shooters need.
