Features 

The 22-inch stainless steel barrel has a featherweight contour to keep the 6.5-lb. total weight where it is, and a removable radial muzzle brake handles recoil. The barrel is hand-lapped and button-rifled, then match chambered. Match-grade trigger pull is adjustable between 2.5 and 3.5 lbs. 
 
The carbon fiber composite stock keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity in changing weather conditions. A skeletonized bolt handle reduces mass at the rear, and an enlarged ejection port makes brass extraction cleaner. The left-hand action is a true mirror configuration rather than an adaptation of a right-hand receiver. 
 
At 6.5 lbs. the Mesa is light enough for all-day carry in the field while the 22-inch barrel preserves the velocity that makes 6.5 Creedmoor effective at extended ranges.

Owners of the Mesa left-hand in 6.5 Creedmoor are generally happy with the purchase, though a few recurring points come up in discussion.

The rifle's light weight for a precision bolt gun is the most commonly praised attribute. Carrying 6.5 lbs. through varied terrain all day is noticeably different from a heavier hunting rifle, and most users feel Christensen achieved that without giving up rigidity. Accuracy consistently meets or beats the Sub-MOA guarantee in owner reports when paired with quality ammunition. The tungsten Cerakote finish is well-received both for aesthetics and for its durability against weather and handling.

The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge itself draws consistent praise for manageable recoil and long-range effectiveness, and owners find it comfortable to shoot through extended sessions.

Price is the primary criticism. The Mesa sits in a premium tier and some shooters feel comparable accuracy is available for less from other manufacturers. Left-hand buyers are generally glad the dedicated LH model exists, but they do note that LH stock options and aftermarket support are thinner than what right-hand shooters have access to.
