The TriggerTech trigger has a clean break with minimal creep, which suits both hunting and precision work.

The stock is carbon fiber with Flash Forged Technology, which is where most of the weight savings come from. Two-position safety. 
 

Usage 

 
This rifle is aimed at hunters who want .300 Win Mag performance without carrying a heavy gun. The ergonomics suit a range of body types and the light weight helps when you are covering serious ground before the shot. Recoil is real at this caliber; the muzzle brake helps but won't eliminate it entirely. The price sits at the higher end of the hunting rifle market, which is a consideration, though the carbon fiber construction accounts for much of that cost.

Owners consistently mention the weight as the first thing they notice -- 5.5 lbs for a .300 Win Mag is genuinely light, and hunters who carry their rifles for miles appreciate it. The build quality and craftsmanship get frequent praise; the rifle feels well-made and the tolerances are tight. The TriggerTech trigger and smooth bolt action come up as specific positives that improve the shooting experience.

Price is the most common sticking point. Some buyers feel the cost is justified by the carbon fiber construction and overall quality, while others find it hard to swallow compared to heavier steel competitors. Recoil is also discussed -- the muzzle brake helps, but the .300 Win Mag still kicks, and opinions vary on how well it is managed. A few users note that aftermarket accessories and parts specific to this model can be harder to find than for more common rifles.

Overall, the Mesa FFT draws a loyal following among hunters who want a lightweight, capable rifle and are willing to pay for it. The main trade-offs -- price and recoil -- are well understood going in.
