Called a semi local Christensen dealer.

They called Christensen. The burnt bronze / green stock Mesa won’t ship til mid October is what they told me.

Ordered one and out my name on it. Now to wait.

That's a downer. Hopefully they're being conservative with their estimate.

Ammo, could you share what you paid? Curious how your price related to retail.

Thanks...

Hopefully they are.. i can unsterstand adding a little extra time to ship dates rather than have folks with pitchforks in the streets.

It was about $1250 but it was subject to change depending on dealer cost which they didn't have available. My guess is it will end up being around $1400-1450 based on what they sell the RH ones for.

The dealer i pre- ordered mine from, said Christensen told him $250+ just for lefty.

I told him regardless, i want it. I’m Fraid itll be a once a year batch run. When those are gone it’ll be next year.

If you can't find a RH at a local dealer, call Christiansen and inquire.

I'm thinking green/bronze in a 7mm-08,,,,but have zero experience with Christiansen.

Do they have a good reputation for built quality and accuracy please ?

I have no personal experience with Christensen Arms products but believe they are of high quality and accuracy. I sure hope so as I'm going to get a LH Ridgeline.

No experience myself other than fondling a Rh.

Bolt knob was smaller than i expected. Action smooth. Stock was nice. But I’m not too picky for a factory rifle in LH.

Hope they are a great gun. I’m down for one. And there’s almost no resale for a crappy LH rifle.

I did see the bolt throw is kind of high, may cause a problem with low mounts or large scope...still researching.

Our choices are very limited in smaller calibers, and a high quality rig build...I see Browning makes the Medallion x-bolt but not in 7mm-08,,,Sako has options but the price is going up fast smile

I Stole a gently used A-Bolt LH in 25-06, passed it on to a friend with a left handed son. Turns out he is severely right eye dominant and shoots the dang thing right handed..... WTF:) My Sako 85 is greatly over priced but shore' easy on the eyes and she does shoot where I point her. Hard to complain to much about a rifle that will do that for you consistently.

I have a LH Ruger Hawkeye that as bad a bench shot I am still puts 5 under an inch but the Christensen LH peeks my interest as it is a good half lb. lighter than my 7-08 Hawkeye. Only problem is my wife thinks I'm nuts at my age (81) in getting another rifle especially at their price. I told her I would start a Go Fund Me account to get the money to buy it. She is OK with that. Any of you guy interested in donating to a good cause?

Just got an email from them and as it is a new product most dealers can expect to see them in one to two months. They look to be a bit more pricy than the suggested retail of 1295. Probably closer to fifteen hundred plus here in CA registering fees will add another hundred or more depending on the dealer. Anybody know what scope mounts these take?
