Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range .338 Lapua Magnum Bolt-Action Rifle - Black
CHRISTENSEN ARMS
The Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range is a precision rifle built for hunters and shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances. Chambered in .338 Lapua Mag with a 27-inch barrel, this rifle combines a purpose-built action, premium barrel, and adjustable composite stock into a platform that rewards good technique with consistent performance. At 8.9 pounds, it strikes a balance between fieldability and the mass needed for recoil management in a magnum caliber. The Mesa Long Range comes backed by Christensen Arms' Sub-MOA Guarantee—a real commitment that matters when you're investing in a long-range hunting rifle.
The foundation is a 416R stainless steel barrel with a medium Palma contour, hand-lapped and button-rifled for consistency, topped with a removable side-baffle muzzle brake (threaded 5/8-24). The action is built on a standard Rem 700 platform—meaning familiar ergonomics and broad optic base compatibility—but features Christensen's skeletonized bolt handle, enlarged ejection port, and Trigger Tech trigger. A twin lug spiral fluted bolt, treated with nitride, handles magnum pressures reliably. The carbon fiber composite stock uses spacers for length-of-pull and comb adjustment, stainless steel pillars for durability, and spot bedding to keep the action consistent.
Aesthetically, the action wears a burnt bronze Cerakote finish that blends function with a refined look. The stock is green with black and tan webbing—solid, non-reflective, and built for use. Magazine capacity is 4 rounds (3 for magnum). If you're serious about .338 Lapua Mag shooting—whether hunting elk at distance, running a precision rifle course, or pushing targets past 1,000 yards—this is a rifle engineered to perform.

No. The Mesa Long Range uses a standard Rem 700 optics base, which accepts Picatinny rail systems designed for 700-platform rifles. You'll need a scope mount or rail built for that footprint.
Yes. The side-baffle muzzle brake is threaded at 5/8-24 and removable, so you can swap it for a suppressor adapter or different brake if desired.
Christensen Arms backs the Mesa Long Range to deliver sub-MOA accuracy—groups of one inch or smaller at 100 yards—provided the rifle is used as intended and properly maintained.
The internal magazine capacity is 4 rounds; in magnum calibers like .338 Lapua Mag, it holds 3 rounds.
