Anyone here have any experience with one of their rifles. Starting to get the itch for a long range precision in the .30. Looking at maybe .300 win mag. in their Traverse model.

Christensen makes a really good gun. Really good.
While the .300win mag is a great caliber if you’re buying for long range precision, the .300prc would serve you better, imho.

Bought the Mesa back in January chambered in 6.5. Added a Nightforce SHV for glass and with a little tinkering with my reloads it will shoot one ragged hole at 100 yards. Shooting a rather consistent .300” and less groups at 200 yards.. Gun shoots better than I am. Last time out I busted 5 beer bottles in a row at 400 yards. Very pleased with the rifle and comes with a very nice adjustable trigger as well.

Great choice and is drilled and tapped for model 700 rings and bases. Go with Talley!

Have a traverse 30 nosler...much better gun than I am a shooter. Reloads will do sub-1/2 MOA, and I haven't even started testing seating depths yet. Love the ergonomics. Dad has a Mesa 6.5, and a ridgeline 28Nos, he loves them. These are the guns that made him stop buying savages and getting them accurized. Great, great guns for the money...now I want aother one, in 26Nos.

I’ve been shopping for the same type of gun, but I’m currently leaning towards Bergara. Any advice between the two?

I have a Mesa in 6.5 creedmoor, with a ziess 5x12x56. Tack driver, I have headshot yotes out to 300 yards.

I was looking hard at a Christensen in .300win but ended up with a x-bolt hells canyon long range. Just another option for you to look at.

Look at the Bergara Premier series. I’m contemplating buying a Mountain 2.0 in 300 Win Mag.

Alamo Precision Rifles are worth looking at.

I just picked up the mesa in 28 nosler. If that round is something youre looking at, get the lipseys distributor special. Its an 8 twist which allows the 195gr berger elite hunters to properly stabilize. The rest are 9 twists. The main think i dont care for (which is purely personal taste thing) is I wish it had a shorter bolt throw like tikka or browning. Its annoying to have a 90 bolt throw. I wish Tikka made some more exotic calibers. Maybe soon. That tikka Veil wideland is calling me lol.
As a reloader, I was torn between a few different calibers. I have a creedmoor, 270, 243. So I came down to the 28 nosler, 300 prc, 6.5 prc
The 6.5 prc was pretty quickly dismissed due to only gaining a 150-200 fps over my creedmoor.
The real rub was 28 nosler or 300 prc. Both are very enticing balistically. The main reason why I went with the 28 nosler is that with the grain weights of 140-195, I felt it would be much more versatile for my needs than the 300 prc. I can load it down with lighter bullets for deer, yotes, hogs, whatever and load up to tackle elk or moose. Balistically its a beast. The prc really shines with 225 gr and higher weights that are high BC (bergers and eldx) and at long ranges of 600 plus yards. Up until that point there isnt much difference in the 300 prc and win mag. I still would the prc over win mag if I was buying today.
