Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range .308 Win Bolt-Action Rifle - Black

The Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range .308 Win is a precision bolt-action rifle built for hunters and shooters serious about reaching out to distance. This isn't a jack-of-all-trades rifle—it's engineered specifically for long-range performance, combining a match-grade barrel, adjustable stock, and quality trigger into a platform that delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, backed by Christensen Arms' guarantee.

The barrel is the heart of any precision rifle, and Christensen Arms equipped the Mesa Long Range with 416R stainless steel, hand-lapped and button-rifled for consistency. The medium Palma contour keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness, and the barrel is free-floating to eliminate contact with the stock—a critical detail for accuracy. A removable side-baffle muzzle brake tames recoil and controls muzzle rise, essential when dialing in long shots. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, opening the door to suppressors or aftermarket brakes if you choose to swap it later.

The action is built on a Remington 700-pattern receiver, a platform trusted by precision shooters and gunsmiths for decades. You get a Trigger Tech trigger (crisp and predictable), a skeletonized bolt handle for quick manipulation, and an enlarged ejection port that doesn't interfere with scope mounting. Twin lug and spiral fluted bolt, nitride-treated for durability. The bottom metal is billet aluminum with a hinged floor plate and 4-round internal magazine capacity (3 for magnum rounds). Everything matters when you're chasing accuracy: improved bolt release, dual ejectors on magnum models, fluted bolt knob—these features make the rifle a pleasure to run.

The carbon fiber composite stock is where the Mesa Long Range really shines for field work. Adjustable length of pull and comb height let you dial in perfect cheek weld and eye relief regardless of your build or optic height. Stainless steel pillars and spot bedding keep the action stable, and a recoil pad absorbs punishment. The whole rifle starts at 8.9 pounds—light enough for a day in the field, heavy enough to manage recoil. Tungsten Cerakote on the action pairs with the black composite stock and gray webbing for a modern, professional look that doesn't scream for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics base and mounting system does this rifle use?

The Mesa Long Range is machined to accept standard Remington 700 optics bases, making it compatible with any modern scope base system designed for that platform. This gives you maximum flexibility in choosing your glass and mounting hardware.

Is the muzzle brake removable?

Yes. The seamless side-baffle brake comes factory-installed but is removable. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so you can swap in a suppressor, different brake, or run it without if you prefer.

Can I adjust the stock fit?

Absolutely. The carbon fiber composite stock includes adjustable length of pull and comb height via spacers, letting you dial in the perfect fit for your body and shooting position. Stainless steel pillars and spot bedding keep everything locked in once you find your setup.

Does this rifle come with a magazine?

The rifle ships with an internal 4-round magazine (capacity is 3 rounds for magnum calibers). The bottom metal features a hinged floor plate for easy access and loading.
