That was the first three shots out of mine after sitting for 7 months. I have a thread started on the scope shifting high and to the left after flying home from a bear hunt and whether or not its a big deal. My gun was shooting .75-1.5 moa for about the first 40 rounds and then it has settled in to what you see here - its consistently .25-.5 moa. I was going to work up a load for it, but after it shooting the Match ammo so well I decided to roll with it.
You bought 3 had to have all 3 rebarreled? Why would you buy the 2nd one let alone the 3rd? I have been selling these for more than a decade with very few issues. They have been around for 35 years, you can't do that selling junk.
It usually takes around 60 to 80 rounds down the barrel before a CA really shines. CA will tell you that. But once they a broken in they are shooters. Mine like nearly touching The lands with cup and core bullets, like about50 to 60 thousands jump with hammers.
I didn't want them to be rebarreled, but when there are issues what else is there to do? My first was a 6.5-284 that wouldn't shoot of 2700fps without severe issues. The next was a 300prc won't shoot more than one bullet accurately. Barrel doesn't like being warm. Poi shifts 2 inches after 1 or 2 shots, junk. I now have a steel barrel mess in 338 lapua that's doing the same thing. Quality of these rifles is junk.
I am happy you got a good one I am 0-3Yeah, I agree…they suck!! This is with factory ammoView attachment 327644
Please sell me your junk CA rifles. I would be willing to pay junk prices.
They have been rebarreled with proof barrels and now have manners stocks. No so junky anymore
Sounds like total BS to me. You rebarreled 3 CA rifles with Proof barrels. Then you put manners stocks on them. So you paid twice as much for a action than you needed to.
I just can't help but feel like there was some user error in there. Between myself and my buddies we probably own 12 CA's. All of them are sub moa with the right ammo or handloads and depending on who is shooting them, they are closer to 1/2 moa.
Yup, they are so bad he had to buy two more just to prove it to himself?!
Yup. I've had a Mesa for 3 years now. No complaints. Really started performing after 50+ rounds down the tube. Round count is now 500+.
The stock just works for me. I've shot a friends Ridgeline. It uses the same stock. Very handy in the field. 99% of hunters will never shoot out the barrel on the Ridgeline.
