Here, as a lefty and also interested, is my take: they advertise the SA as about 6.5 lbs. I’ve read reviews where the rifles were 4 to 6 or 8 oz heavier than that. Certainly, the one I hefted in a LGS was way over the 6.5 lb Mark. It was as much a lightweight rifle as the blunt end of a carrot is streamlined. I find this irksome first of all because their advertisement is apparently untrue. Secondly, if there is that much variation in weight, what other features vary by that much. Pretty soon the “Mesa” is a bunch of different rifles.

I also find the $1200 + price pretty reasonable for the features listed...but, wait! That’s for right-handed Rifles; the lefties are $1500 + or $300 more.

I’m not sure at all it offers $800 of value over the Tikka; in fact, I doubt it.
