There is a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on the packs of serious mountain hunters. Christensen Arms took an already light rifle and trimmed it further with Flash Forged Technology, a compression-molded carbon fiber process that produces a stock that is stiff, stable, and remarkably light. Pair that with a 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber and you get a rifle that carries easy on day five of an elk hunt but still shoots like a heavy target gun off the bench.
Federal built the 7mm Backcountry to deliver magnum-level velocity out of shorter barrels, and that is exactly what this 20 inch tube takes advantage of. You get a compact, maneuverable rifle that still reaches across canyons with authority, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high-BC 7mm bullets this cartridge was designed around. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and comes with a removable stainless side-baffle brake, so you can run the brake, spin on your suppressor, or go bare. With a can attached, the shorter barrel keeps the whole setup from feeling like a pool cue.
The carbon fiber FFT sporter stock features gray accents over the natural carbon weave, with carbon bedding pillars, spot bedding, and an integrated recoil pad. The action feeds from a 4+1 capacity magazine and uses a proven M16-style extractor for reliable pulls in cold, dirty, real-world conditions. The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and breaks clean right out of the box, which makes holding tight groups a lot easier when your heart rate is up. The receiver accepts standard Remington 700 pattern bases, so mounting glass is simple. No sights are included, which is exactly how most hunters want it.
Christensen Arms stands behind this rifle with their Sub-MOA guarantee, and reviewers running the 7mm Backcountry version have had no trouble meeting it. If your hunts involve long climbs, longer shots, and weather that does not care about your schedule, this is the kind of rifle that earns its spot in the truck year after year.
Yes. The 20 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common thread pitch for 7mm suppressors and muzzle devices. The included side-baffle brake is removable, so you can swap between the brake, a suppressor, or a thread protector. The shorter barrel length also keeps overall length reasonable with a can attached.
Less than you might think. Federal designed the 7mm Backcountry specifically to produce magnum-class velocities from shorter barrels, so a 20 inch tube is right in this cartridge's wheelhouse. You still get flat trajectories and plenty of energy for elk, mule deer, and sheep at extended ranges.
No, it ships without sights or an optics rail. The receiver is machined to accept standard Remington 700 pattern bases and rails, which gives you a huge range of mounting options. Plan on picking up a quality base and rings when you order the rifle.
Christensen Arms backs it with a Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it should print groups under one inch at 100 yards with quality ammo. The free-floated, match-chambered carbon fiber wrapped barrel and adjustable TriggerTech trigger do a lot of the heavy lifting there. Reviews of this model in 7mm Backcountry report it meets that guarantee without fuss.
