There is a reason the Mesa FFT keeps showing up on packs headed into elk country. Christensen Arms took their aerospace carbon fiber know-how and applied it to a rifle that weighs roughly 5.5 pounds, which your shoulders will appreciate somewhere around mile six of the climb. This version pairs a 308 Win chambering with a 20 inch barrel, a combo that keeps the rifle short, handy, and easy to maneuver in timber or a shooting position on a rocky hillside.
The barrel is a button rifled 416R stainless steel featherweight contour, free floated and finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote that shrugs off weather and scuffs. The muzzle is threaded and wears a seamless removable radial brake, so you can run the brake to tame recoil at the range or spin it off when you want a cleaner profile. Up top, the receiver accepts Remington 700 pattern optics bases, which means mounting a scope is about as painless as it gets. The bolt is a twin lug, nitride treated, spiral fluted design with an M16 style extractor, feeding from a 4 round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate.
The FFT carbon fiber sporter stock is where a lot of the weight savings live. It is built with spot bedding and carbon fiber bedding pillars for a rigid, consistent platform, finished in green with black and tan webbing that looks sharp against the bronze metalwork. A TriggerTech trigger handles fire control with the crisp, clean break that brand has become known for. Add in the factory Sub-MOA guarantee and a two-position safety, and you have a rifle that is ready for load development the day you bring it home. For deer, hogs, black bear, or a general do-everything hunting rig in a proven caliber, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Yes, Christensen Arms backs the Mesa FFT with their Sub-MOA guarantee. That means the rifle is expected to shoot sub one inch groups at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition. Owners commonly report tight groups once they find the load their barrel likes, so plan on testing a few different loads during break in.
The receiver is drilled and tapped and accepts Remington 700 pattern optics bases, which is about as common as it gets. That opens the door to a huge range of rings, one-piece mounts, and rails from just about every manufacturer. No sights come on the rifle, so budget for glass and mounts.
Yes, the 20 inch stainless barrel is threaded and ships with a seamless removable radial muzzle brake. You can remove the brake and attach a suppressor or another muzzle device of your choosing. The shorter 20 inch barrel is a nice starting point if you plan to run a can, since it keeps overall length manageable.
No, this rifle feeds from a 4 round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, giving you 4+1 total capacity. It is a classic hunting rifle setup with no magazine to lose in the field, and the floorplate makes unloading quick and simple at the end of the day.
