[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1719338, member: 52437"] For the money ~1200 dollars, is the Mesa the best bang for the buck for a headache free Sub 1MOA rifle? I have read a lot of reviews and it seems if your budget is around the 900-1200$ mark then this is the go-to rifle unless you try and build a rifle yourself...like buy a tikka and then throw an aftermarket stock on it. If this was the absolute max money you wanted to spend, is there anything else to consider? From what I can tell the Pro's of this rifle are as follows: Decent weight (light but not ultra light) 1 MOA guarantee (From what I can tell the rifles do tend to get this) Based around the Remington 700 action (if you ever wanted a new stock) Spot bedded (I heard this bedding is pretty bad but that it is better than nothing) Stock is a nice stock (not amazing but not a throw away Tupperware stock) Muzzle brake and thread protector included Triggertech trigger (not amazing but better than most factory offerings) cerakoted Some negatives I have read: Customer service has been hit or miss Spot bedding is not great (Again, this is better than nothing but I guess some have been pretty bad) The magazine well does not allow for seating bullets all the way to the lands (I don't do this anyways) If you are looking for a sub .5MOA rifle, this is not likely the rifle to buy Advertised weight is not always correct...sometimes off by quite a few ounces. Are there other rifles in this price range to consider for someone who just does not want to mess around with building a rifle or replacing parts? [/QUOTE]
