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? SA Remington from what i understand.

I think I'm going to order the Mesa, any suggestions for a dealer with decent pricing please ? Once Davidson’s gets some, that’ll be the cheapest. Had good luck buying from them. Easy easy and search for best local price. Dealer i ordered from couldn’t give an exact price. But said Christensen told him +$250 for the lefty over right version

As much as I dislike paying more for LH models, that's a pretty small price to pay to get a great looking LH rifle.

Not sure if dealers will stock to be honest.
I went ahead and ordered one because I figure the LH’s will be a once year run. When it’s sold out, wait til next year.
I may be totally wrong. But want to err on side of caution.

OSU, I'm going with the 7mm-08 Rem in Green/Burnt Bronze, it's a caliber I've wanted to add for a while that few mfg's make for leftys....especially in a 22x1:8 barrel. Pics for those that haven't seen them ![[Linked Image]](https://s25.postimg.cc/3v7moy18f/Mesa-_Gallery_02.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s25.postimg.cc/96mj9o2qn/Mesa-_Gallery_03.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s25.postimg.cc/8tv53hcr3/Mesa-_Gallery_01.jpg)

Was at a local shop today and they had some RH Ridgelines. Was able to handle them. They are nice rifles. With the Pic rail, the 308 weighed 6 lbs 6 oz, according to the guy who weighed it. The bolt handle is a bit small and the safety doesn't lock the bolt. But the fit and finish looked good. Bolt was pretty smooth when opening. The floor plate was tight. Dealer said they could get the LH versions for 100 more than the RH due to some deal they had.
That said, I usually deal with another shop who gets me a better deal, so I ordered a Mesa in 6.5 CM from them. Looks like it's time to thin the herd to put this one in...

Short action only. Rumor has it long action may become available down the road if sales justify it.
