Kicking around the idea of a LH Mesa 450 Bushmaster. Was wanting a stainless LH bolt action 450, and came to a dead end trying to get Ruger or their exclusive 450 dealer here in Michigan to get the ball rolling. Other option would be a LH Tikka short action and make it a donor for rebarrel. That probably would still be less than the Mesa though. Especially if I can find a used one a bit cheaper.

Just talked to the sales department. For now, they are only offering 3 chamberings in LH. So, the 450 is a no go at this point. By the way, the 3 LH guns are listed on GalleryofGuns currently, but obviously still out of stock. So, that will be an easy purchasing option for those looking for one when they get to distribution.

This is on their blog:
With our Mesa (LEFT-HAND MSRP: $1,545) left-handed shooters can expect a premium yet accessible steel-barreled hunting rifle. The Mesa has a featherlight contour, stainless steel barrel with a removable seamless radial brake, and a carbon fiber composite stock. The left-handed model is currently offered in three short-action chamberings: 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and 7mm-08 Remington. Weighing in at only 6.5 pounds, the Mesa is the perfect rifle to carry deep into the backcountry.

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? CA just quoted my dealer a 5-6 month wait for the build delivery.

I just called them and they said they hoped to start getting them to dealers next month. Apparently a lot of interest in them

Hope this doesn't turn into another Barrett story. But with as much exposure as they are giving the launch, it looks hopeful

Just for the record,I have a Mesa Right Hand in 6.5 Creedmoor. It shoots itty bitty groups,functions perfectly,and has a great trigger right out of the box.
The only thing missing is a bolt lock feature,but that's personal preference anyway.

Handled a couple RH Ridgeline's at Whitaker's yesterday. Ergos were pretty good. Not crazy about the CF barrel, but, overall good "feel". Looking forward to handling the LH Mesa's when they hit the stores.
FWIW, also had a chance to handle a couple RH Fieldcrafts while I was at Whitaker's. Not for me. I'll wait for the LH Mesa's. Getting pretty cantankerous in my old age. There is a particular stock fit / feel / ergonomics that I prefer. And if a rifle doesn't have it, not interested.

I just got off the phone with my dealer who had just got off the phone with Christensen. They told him shipment would be in about 2 weeks.

That means 2 weeks lol It sounded like they were getting stuff ready for shipping but they wouldn't be going out right away. My dealer also told me he was told that they just got done retooling to double their barrel production capability.
