[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1719749, member: 39303"] This is a copy and paste of my brief review that I left on someone else's post. I'll throw in my 2 cents since I own a Mesa in 300wm. The good: I really like the aftermarket options for this rifle as it is a Remington 700 "clone". The stock trigger from Triggertech o think is fantastic. It definitely has a cleaner break than my Timney 510. The side bolt release is a nice upgrade as well. The M16 style extractor coupled with dual ejectors throw empty brass out easily. The lightening cuts on the reciever, the holes drilled in the bolt handle and bolt fluting shave off a few ounces which I like. The bolt handle is threaded and you can swap out bolt knobs if you wish. My mag box measures in at 3.700 inches. I can load 181 hammers and 212 ELDX to the lands and still have plenty of room in the mag box. The recoil lug come bedded from the factory. Note that the entire action is not bedded. The included brake is a nice touch but it is a radial brake that is not as effective as the side port brakes I've used in the past and if you shoot prone, it kicks up a lot of dust. With a full magazine, sling, base, rings and optic (Zeiss Conquest V4), it weighs in at about 9.1 lbs. The bad: I've owned mine for a year now. I have approximately 470 rounds through it. I've tried 180/200gr accubonds, 212 ELD-x, 168/180 Barnes TTSX, 180 Sierra Gamekings, 181 Hammer Hunters, over H1000 and Reloader22. So far the 168 TTSX bullets shoot consistently from .75 MOA to 1.25 MOA. 180 TTSX shoot about 1-2 MOA The Nosler accubonds shot 3-5 MOA. The 212 ELD-x shoot 4-5 MOA. Sierra Gamekings shoot 1.5-3 MOA I did shoot 1 group with the 181 Hammers that was promising. It put 4 shots into about .6 MOA then the 5th shot opened it up to about 2 MOA. Most groups with the Hammers have been in the 1.5 to 2.5 range. I haven't been able to repeat "good" group. [/QUOTE]
