Key Features
- Left-Hand Action: Designed specifically for left-handed shooters — no more awkward bolt cycling or cheek weld compromises.
- 22″ Threaded Barrel: Ready for a muzzle brake or suppressor, and the 7mm Rem Mag retains plenty of velocity from this length.
- Match-Grade Trigger: Crisp, adjustable pull that helps you shoot tight groups without fighting a heavy trigger.
- Carbon Fiber Composite Stock: Keeps weight down for carry all day, while the rigid construction supports consistent accuracy.

Who It’s For
This rifle is for the left-handed hunter or precision shooter who wants a lightweight, accurate platform for long-range work. If you’ve been stuck with right-hand rifles or heavy custom builds, the Mesa FFT gives you a factory option that’s ready to hunt elk, mule deer, or steel out to 600+ yards.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight (under 7 lbs), left-hand specific, Sub-MOA guarantee, threaded muzzle, match trigger.
- Cons: 7mm Rem Mag recoil is stout — plan on a good brake or suppressor. Also, the stock finish can show scuffs from hard use in the field.
Comparison
| Feature | Christensen Arms Mesa FFT | Bergara B-14 HMR | Tikka T3x Lite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | 7mm Rem Mag | 6.5 Creedmoor | .308 Win |
| Weight | ~6.5 lbs | ~9.4 lbs | ~6.4 lbs |
| Stock | Carbon fiber composite | Synthetic with aluminum bedding | Synthetic |
| Barrel | 22″ fluted, threaded | 22″ steel, threaded | 20″ steel, non-threaded |
| Trigger | Match-grade adjustable | Adjustable | Single-stage adjustable |
| Price | $2,749.99 | ~$1,100 | ~$750 |
| Left-Hand Option | Yes | Limited | Yes |
The Mesa FFT is lighter and more accurate out of the box than the Bergara B-14 HMR, but you pay for it. The Tikka T3x Lite is a great budget option, but lacks the threaded barrel and carbon fiber stock.
FAQ
What is the effective range of the 7mm Rem Mag?
With a 22″ barrel and quality 160-175 grain bullets, you can expect reliable performance on game out to 400-500 yards. For steel targets, it’s capable past 800 yards with good optics.
Is this rifle suppressor-ready?
Yes. The barrel is threaded (5/8×24) and comes with a thread protector, so you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake directly.
What kind of groups can I expect?
Christensen Arms guarantees Sub-MOA (under 1″ at 100 yards) with factory match ammunition. In our experience, it often shoots closer to 0.75″ with the right load.
Does it come with a scope or rings?
No. The rifle ships without optics. We recommend a quality 3-15x or 4-16x scope with 30mm tube and low rings.
