First off I did not buy the Mesa I purchased the Ridgeline in 26 Nosler. Researched the history of the accuracy with a mixed bag of reviews, some said supremely accurate others said it was POS with little help from Customer Service. So liking the way the rifle felt, I rolled the dice and came up snake bit. Gun shoots anywhere from 2 to 3 inch groups off the bench at 100yds. Have had some medical issues so haven't had time to take it up with CA yet but will keep everyone informed.
Thanks for your input. Your pre purchase assessment of mixed bag of reviews agreeably is general what I am seeing too from various web searches. The puzzling aspect of this is the many first hand experiences of great sub MOA. Hacknslash, I hope you are getting better and putting the health issue behind you. Been there & done that myself.
