Detailed Features

• The stainless steel receiver is machined to accept Remington 700 pattern optic bases. 
• The FFT carbon fiber stock is finished in orange and black and uses spot bedding to marry the action to the stock.

Owners of the Mesa FFT Buckmasters generally rate the stainless steel action and free-floated barrel as well built, and the TriggerTech trigger gets consistent praise for breaking clean without the creep some factory triggers have. A minority of buyers wish the carbon fiber stock felt as tough as a traditional synthetic stock, though most report no issues after regular use.

In the field, the .308 Win chambering and 20-inch barrel make this a practical, easy to carry hunting rifle, and the FFT carbon fiber stock is the feature owners mention most for keeping the overall weight down on long walks. The hinged floor plate and skeletonized bolt handle are convenient in the field, though a few shooters note the thin bolt handle is less comfortable with gloves on.

On value, buyers see the Mesa FFT Buckmasters as priced above entry-level .308 bolt rifles, and most consider the stainless barrel and carbon fiber stock worth the difference. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle makes adding a suppressor or brake simple, which owners view as a plus for aftermarket flexibility.
