[QUOTE="7MMMagnum, post: 2190489, member: 39395"] I have a Mesa in 6.5 Creedmoor. I could not get it to group so sent it back to Christiansen arms and they tested and sent it back showing it shot great. Still no luck for me. I finally took the rifle apart and found that the recoil lug recess was to shallow and the action was pivoting at the bottom of the recoil lug. It was bedded but as the action screws were tightened to the pillars, it was binding the action. I removed material from bottom of the lug and removed their dab of bedding and bedded the entire action from 1.5” in front of lug back to tang. So far best group is .350 at 100 using Hornady 140 ELD and still working on developing the load. I am also trying Berger 140 Hybrid Target but due to magazine length of 2.880 having to jump them .095 and they don’t seem to like that much jump. [/QUOTE]
