Christensen Arms Mesa

[noharleyyet]

I bought a Mesa in 7mag last fall but have yet to shoot a full box of ammo through it because I hadn’t settled on a optic. I did a quick zero with a cheap spare scope I had and it seemed to group well but I entirely missed a good deer with it a month later. I like the rifle though and blame the cheap scope.

The Norma rounds I’ve shot through it do seem to stick in the chamber a bit.

I’ve finally decided on a optic and was about to order one from schmalts after a few pm’s yesterday morning until my mower died and my oven shots sparks and went tits up. I’m trying to repair both but it’s not looking promising.

I need to get this rifle set up and wrung out before my elk hunt this year.

Which scope did you decide?

I'd be grabbing one of those Firedots from Pat in a heartbeat for this one!

Which scope did you decide?

One of the VX-Freedoms, 4-12-40 side focus with tri moa reticle. It was between that and a MK3 that was very similar.

It’s a compromise but I don’t want to spend a whole lot on a rifle I won’t really use here in TX much.

Can't go wrong with the VX-Freedoms. I have a 3-9 tri-MOA on my custom Tikka and it's never lost zero and is as clear as you need for pretty much anything.
