Have a Mesa in 6.5 Creed. Shoots great. Had to go back for a ag spring issue. The paid shipping both was and had it back within a month. Thin will keep it. Lol

I’ve got a LH Mesa 6.5cm.
I like it. I think you get a lot for the price.
Check with Eurooptics, they had the best price ( actually good price and only place that had them when they first came,out with LH ).
Lefty tax is +$250, for whatever reason.

I have the Ridgeline in 6.5 CM. A really well balanced rifle.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Looking at the Ridgeline, really like the 20” barrell for the .308, also considering 6.5 Creedmore and PRC.

Own a Mesa but have not shot it yet. Appears to be a lot of rifle for the money. Only gripe is it came in heavier than they advertised.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I have a leftie 7-08 Mesa and it is a real good shooter. Action is also very smooth just wish it had a higher comb on the stock

I've recently traded for a new Christensen Mesa in 6.5CM. Ive only got a couple dozen rounds thru it and it's a very accurate rifle. Buy with confidence.

the CA facebook group is flooded with posts about CA rifles being junk, having to go bac, QC issues etc etc. but I havent seen anyone who has personally had issues with them.
our own Crimson Trace has a few CA rifles and has set up several for other members..all report fantastic results
I have a CA Ridgeline in 28N that shoots the factory Hornady 162 eld X into half inch groups

I was finally able to hold one and immediately knew it wasn't for me. The stocknks flimsy and the gun (ridgeline) felt heavy. I have set my sights on a Sako 85 Hunter at this point.

Take a look at the Tikka T3X too. I have one in 6.5CM stainless and it's proven to be a very nice gun. I have a picatinny rail and had my barrel threaded and it now wears my thermal and suppressor for night hunting hogs. The detachable 5 round magazines work well for night hunting.
