Christensen Arms 8010201200 Mesa Long 6.5 PRC 26" 5-Round Threaded Barrel

The Christensen Arms Mesa Long 6.5 PRC 26" Threaded Barrel rifle represents the pinnacle of modern precision rifle engineering for serious hunters and tactical shooters who demand uncompromising accuracy at extended ranges. Built for shooters who refuse to settle on performance, this bolt-action rifle excels in competitive long-range shooting, big-game hunting, and professional applications where every shot counts. The Mesa Long platform combines lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity, making it the choice for hunters covering vast terrain and shooters engaging targets beyond 800 yards with confidence.

Built around Christensen Arms' proprietary carbon-fiber technology, the Mesa Long delivers a sub-8.5 lb combat weight without sacrificing structural integrity or shot-to-shot consistency. The 26-inch threaded barrel in 6.5 PRC provides inherent ballistic advantage—the PRC cartridge delivers superior velocity and energy retention compared to 6.5 Creedmoor while maintaining manageable recoil in a lightweight platform. The integrated muzzle threads (1/2x28 standard) accommodate suppressors or muzzle devices, allowing shooters to tailor the rifle for their specific tactical or hunting mission while maintaining precision. The 5-round magazine capacity ensures controlled feeding in diverse terrain and weather conditions, and the chassis design provides both mechanical accuracy and accessory integration for optics, bipods, and tactical systems.

This rifle benefits precision rifle competitors, long-range hunters pursuing elk and mule deer, and professional shooters tasked with extended-range engagements where weight, reliability, and accuracy intersect. The 6.5 PRC cartridge performs exceptionally well at high elevations and in wind-demanding conditions, making the Mesa Long ideal for western hunting applications and competition circuits. The threaded barrel configuration allows suppressor installation for hearing protection and recoil management, while maintaining zero retention and shot consistency—critical for hunters in areas where noise mitigation is essential or for tactical operations requiring low acoustic signature. Installation of aftermarket triggers, scope mounts, and tactical accessories is straightforward, and the rifle's modular design accommodates both traditional and modern shooting systems.
