Anybody have any experience with a Christenson rifle? I am looking at a Mesa. I have shot one Ridgeline, and it was an extremely accurate rifle, around 1/2 MOA. I Just want to try to get a broader review base before making a decision to buy.

I have A Mesa in 6.5 PRC. Mine is a great rifle, but I hear complaints from some others. Mine shoots less than .5 MOA with both the 130 Accubond and the 130 Swift Scirocco hand loads.
What caliber are you looking at?
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I’ve a Mesa 6.5 Creed that is easily sub MOA with several different loads. I would buy again.
Yup.

I have the Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC This rifle shoots very well. I have two loads worked up. Groups 5 about the size of a nickel.

Decided to hunt 2020 with a factory rifle and factory ammunition. First time in 20+ years.
Chose a Mesa 6.5 CM. Well put together rifle. I have 300+ rounds through it so far.
Shoots the 143 gr. Precision Hunter and Black Hills Gold factory ammo consistently under an inch for 5 shot groups.
I'm trying out now the 120 gr. Outfitter, Superformance, and Black Hills gold factory ammo. So far, nothing to wax poetic about, but the groups tighten as the loads get faster. I'm testing the Superformance this friday.
The rilfle seems like a keeper and I'll likely hand load for it for the 2021 season.
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
