The Christensen Arms Mesa Titanium is a bolt-action rifle in .28 Nosler with a stainless steel receiver and 24-inch barrel. At 7.3 lbs it's on the lighter end for a rifle in this caliber class, which is the point — the titanium action keeps weight down without cutting corners on the parts that matter for accuracy.

Features 

 
The 24-inch barrel gives the .28 Nosler enough tube to develop its velocity and flatten trajectory. Stainless construction on the receiver handles weather exposure without much maintenance. Three-round capacity is modest but keeps the action compact. 
 
The .28 Nosler is a capable big-game cartridge — flat-shooting at distance with enough energy for elk-sized animals. Ammunition is less common and more expensive than standard calibers, which is worth factoring in before committing. 
 

Use Cases 

 
This rifle is built for hunters who cover terrain on foot and need to keep pack weight down without giving up accuracy at distance. It also works well on the range for long-range target work where the .28 Nosler's flat trajectory is an asset.

The Christensen Arms Mesa Titanium in .28 Nosler gets strong marks from most owners, with the lightweight build being the most frequent point of praise. Carrying a 7.3 lb rifle over rough country is genuinely easier than a comparable steel-actioned rifle, and owners notice it. Accuracy is consistently praised alongside build quality — the manufacturing is careful and it shows.

The .28 Nosler is well-liked for its ballistics — flat trajectory and real reach for big game. Recoil is manageable enough for follow-up shots, which owners mention as a practical benefit in hunting situations.

Pricing is the main friction point. The Mesa Titanium costs more than many alternatives, and some owners debate whether the premium is justified against similarly accurate rifles at lower prices. Ammunition cost and availability are practical concerns — .28 Nosler is not a shelf staple at most gun shops. A few owners report needing to address bedding or fit issues before the rifle shot to its potential, suggesting some variation in out-of-box consistency. Aftermarket accessories built specifically for this model are limited.
