I recently purchased a Mesa bolt action simply because I love they way my old Remington 700 bolt slides, and the Christensen Arms seemed the next smoothest thing I could find (short of purchasing a new Remington, which, for now, seems a waste of money). But I am disappointed. I realize now that the fluted bolt tends to stick during cycling, and it is nowhere near as smooth as that 700. I placed my 700 bolt in the Mesa and it seems to cycle much better, but I am hesitant to pop off a round. Are there any here who can speak from experience on this question? If it can be done, then I will replace the original with a 700 bolt and my problem is solved...
