Christensen Arms: New Calibers for the Ridgeline & Mesa Rifles
The Mesa and Ridgeline series of rifles from Christensen Arms are some of their most affordable. Now they are adapting to the rising .28 Nosler and hard-hitting .450 Bushmaster calibers as well. Two niche calibers with very different uses. The .28 Nosler is great for hunting big-game or targets when you need to phone in a long-distance hit. The .450 Bushmaster may never be ideal for a 1,000 yard gong, but it will definitely roll a pig into next week. Now you can have your pick of either caliber in the Mesa or Ridgeline.
The Mesa comes with a Sub-MOA guarantee from the factory in 7 different calibers now.
- 6.5 Creedmoor | 22″ Barrel | 1:8″ Twist
- 7mm-08 Rem | 22″ Barrel | 1:9″ Twist
- 7mm Rem Mag | 24″ Barrel | 1:9″ Twist
- .28 Nosler | 26″ Barrel | 1:9″ Twist
- .308 Win | 22″ Barrel | 1:10″ Twist
- .300 Win Mag | 24″ Barrel | 1:10″ Twist
- .450 Bushmaster | 20″ Barrel | 1:16″ Left-Hand Twist
The Ridgeline now burgeons to 18 calibers with the same Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee as the Mesa.

So, I'm looking at the top picture of the guy standing on the river bank and I'm wondering... Why is there a condom hanging from the end of the barrel?
(Then I finally figure out... that's a tree in the distant background...)
{:-)
About 20 calibers between .22 & .30. Then nada, nothing. Then .45.....
Why so little love for the Whelen and/or 9.3? Which everyone knows are the bestest big game calibers of them all in accurate boltguns; for all those with intact ear drums and remaining nerve endings left in the shooting shoulder?
