The Christensen Arms Mesa 6.5 Creedmoor is a light stainless-barrel hunting rifle with a threaded 22-inch barrel (brand part no. CA10280H13211). Christensen Arms uses a 416R stainless steel featherlight-contour barrel that is button rifled, free floated and match chambered, with standard 1/2×28 threading. A removable seamless radial brake comes with the barrel, so recoil control is part of the package. A precision-machined receiver with billet aluminum bottom metal, a skeletonized bolt handle and a TriggerTech trigger handle the work behind it. It suits hunters who want a lightweight, sub-MOA-guaranteed rifle for the backcountry.
