I really like their Carbon wrapped barrel models. Ive messed with the RH versions and they seem to bee pretty nice. Not as light as i thought they would be though. At least they're trying to cater to the LH market. Might buy one in a couple years.

If these rifles will shoot well, it has the makings of being a terrific light weight hunting package.

Cool they're doing the lefty thing, but they've never impressed me for the price tag.

I would, but I'm on rifle probation from the boss.

Well about dang time we had another option for a lefty.
If Winchester would just get off their can and make a Model 70 Extreme Weather Rifle in a lefty version.

Still trying to figure out why manufacturers are offering 24 in barrels on the 6.5 Creed when its fully capable of doing what it needs to do at 20.
Or less

Called them today.
Rifles are 30-60 days from shipping to dealers.
The guy i talked to said this will be a test run to feel out the market.
If it goes well, more SA calibers and maybe even LA in the future.
I’m liking the burnt bronze / green stock 6.5cm

Seems like another interesting option for Southpaws. However, would really prefer to handle one first to check ergos before committing. Anyone know of an LGS in the Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati area that has the RH models in stock that you can hold/handle ?

I've resorted to begging and pleading with my wife to get out of gun time-out in order to get 6.5 CM in the Mesa. These are really well made. Fit and finish is top notch on the ones I've handled.

Are the short actions any shorter than a Remington short action?

I broke down and ordered one through my local dealer. 6.5 CM with the green stock and burnt bronze cerakote. Price was well below MSRP too which was nice.

I keep looking at the Davidson’s page each day to see when they’ll show stock. In the sticks where i am, galleryofguns.com is the easiest way to shop.

There's a pretty high volume dealer near me that deals with a lot of Christensens. They said they could pre-order and seemed to know what they were talking about so I'm hoping they come through.
