[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2628775, member: 72440"] Well heard about the CA issues on this forum decided to stay away from the carbon fiber barrels and bought a 300 win mag mesa. At on sale price of $750.00 after the rebate, thought it was a good price for a production rifle. Preliminary inspection; Bore scope, no tooling marks or other noticeable imperfections, trigger pull was a consistent 3.2 lbs, a bit heavy for my taste. I don't like the action was a bit stiff reminded me of my old savage vintage early 90s that is fine now. Muzzle brake is not my preferred. After I replace the bottom metal for a detachable mag , will like the rifle better. The requirement to shoot 60 rounds for a break-in, tells me this rifle from a performance perspective will not be an upgrade from my Bergara or Browning or my Savage with all the mods plus new barrel. But I am hopeful it will be the light weight all purpose hunting rifle I have been wanting. As my Savage weighs in at about 11.5 lbs now instead of 8.5lbs it used to weigh with scope. As far as the CA being comparable to a custom not even close, maybe fit and finish is close. Will post accuracy results when I get it to the range. Do not tell CA you are shooting hand-loads will void your warranty. I had Nosler build me some custom 200 grn accubonds that I will shoot after break-in. [/QUOTE]
