Who is this rifle for?

This rifle is a strong pick for Kansas hunters taking longer shots at deer or elk, or anyone interested in precision rifle competitions. It’s also a good step up for shooters moving from cartridges like 308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor to the longer-range capabilities of 338 Lapua. The Mesa offers a capable platform without the extended lead times of a fully custom rifle.

Things to consider

• Pros: Consistent accuracy, adjustable stock, effective muzzle brake, relatively lightweight for a 338 Lapua.
• Cons: The factory trigger, while functional, may not be ideal for competitive shooting. Upgrading to a Timney or Geissele trigger is an option. The 27-inch barrel can be long for some hunting scenarios.
