[QUOTE="MTGEEZER, post: 1992119, member: 109472"] LazyAce: I "had" a CA Mesa in 6.5 PRC for a year and a half. Accurate but pressure problems from day one. I did pretty extensive brass prep with ADG brass, tried 6 different bullets, 4 or 5 different powders and primers and could never get to within 2 and a half grains of any listed max load and was 150 to 200 FPS slower than what I bought the PRC for. I took it back to Scheels (love that place) and they hooked me up and sent it back to Christensen explaining that the rifle was pancaking factory loads and that I was uncomfortable with the pressure and Creedless performance. They had it for 1 week and I got it back yesterday. The barrel, action, magazine and stock were literally dripping in oil. It was a disgusting mess! I boxed it back up just as I received it and went right back to Scheels and showed the manager what I got back. BTW, CA did nothing to the rifle and didn't bother to even tell me what they "found". No explanation or comment of any kind except a separate box with their card, a thank you for being a CA customer and a free hat! When I opened the box in front of the manager, he said "what the heck is all that stuff all over your gun and what did they do to correct the problem"?
