Another vote for the CA Mesa. I have a lefty 6.5cm. Wish they would turn loose a 6.5prc in lefty.


Another to look at is the seekins havak. No experience with it, just from reading about it.

Contenders at this point.

MRC X3
Nosler M-48
Christensen Arms Mesa


MRC X3 I would say NO

Nosler M-48 I would say NO

Christensen Arms Mesa Maybe

I would pick a 6mm Creedmoor, Dasher, BR, Something or other

I would try to piece together parts and have Shaen build it up but that would be out of the $1500 range



I went with your maybe.


Nice! Let us know how it performs for you. I am guessing it will be good.

I went on a similar quest. One good rifle for aardvarks to zebras. Even thought about thinning the herd down to 3 or 4. I failed. Miserably.

But I did end up with a Dakota 97 in 30-06 with iron sights and cerakote that I’ll take to Alaska some day if I sell all the rifles I bought on that quest.

Loonyism at its finest.
