Description
The .22 Creedmoor has become the go-to round for folks who want serious reach on coyotes, prairie dogs, and long-range steel without the recoil of a bigger case, and this Ridgeline FFT is one of the nicest factory platforms you can chamber it in. Christensen Arms gave this build a 20 inch 416R stainless barrel wrapped in their Aerograde carbon fiber, cut with a fast 1:7 twist so it can push the heavy 75 to 88 grain bullets that make this cartridge shine way out past where a .22-250 runs out of steam. The barrel is free-floated, match chambered, and threaded 5/8-24, with a removable stainless side-baffle brake already on the muzzle. Swap it for a suppressor and this thing becomes an absolute pleasure to shoot.
Why the Ridgeline FFT Carries So Easy
FFT stands for Flash Forged Technology, and it is the reason this rifle feels lighter than it looks. The compression-molded carbon fiber stock uses a monocoque shell with carbon bedding pillars and spot bedding, trimming real weight compared to traditional carbon stocks while staying stiff where it counts. This version pairs that stock, finished in carbon with green and tan accents, with a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish over the receiver. Between the carbon barrel, FFT floorplate, and skeletonized bolt handle, you end up with a rig you will not think twice about hauling up a ridge.
Ridgeline FFT Details That Matter at the Bench
The action rides on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so bases, rings, and aftermarket support are everywhere. You get a spiral-fluted dual-lug bolt, an enlarged ejection port, and a crisp TriggerTech trigger that breaks clean without creep. Feeding comes from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate holding 4+1, and Christensen backs the whole package with their sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
For the predator hunter or long-range varminter who has been waiting for a factory .22 Creedmoor done right, this one checks every box. Pair it with quality glass and heavy match bullets and go stretch its legs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is .22 Creedmoor and why the 1:7 twist on this Ridgeline FFT?
.22 Creedmoor is essentially the 6.5 Creedmoor case necked down to .224, giving you a fast, flat-shooting round with mild recoil. The 1:7 twist stabilizes long, heavy bullets in the 75 to 88 grain range, which is where this cartridge really earns its keep for long-range varmint and predator work. Slower-twist .22 centerfires like the .22-250 simply cannot run those high-BC bullets.
Can I run a suppressor on the Ridgeline FFT .22 Creedmoor?
Yes. The 20 inch barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and the side-baffle brake is removable, so a direct-thread can or a mount in that pitch spins right on. The carbon fiber barrel keeps the overall package light and well balanced even with a suppressor up front.
Does this rifle come with a scope or mounts?
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, which is about as common as it gets, so rings and one-piece rails are easy to find. Plan on quality glass since the .22 Creedmoor is capable of hitting well beyond typical hunting distances.
Is the Ridgeline FFT accurate enough for long-range predator hunting?
That is exactly what it was built for. Christensen Arms backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and the free-floated, match-chambered carbon fiber barrel and TriggerTech trigger give it the fundamentals to deliver. Paired with heavy match bullets, the .22 Creedmoor holds up in the wind far better than most .22 centerfires.
