Description
There is a lot to like about a rifle that weighs 5.4 pounds and still comes with a sub-MOA guarantee. The Ridgeline FFT gets there with Christensen's Flash Forged Technology stock, the lightest carbon fiber stock they have ever produced, built as a compression molded monocoque shell with carbon bedding pillars and spot bedding for a solid, repeatable foundation. Chambered in 25 Creedmoor, Hornady's quarter-bore answer to the gap between the 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor, this setup gives Western hunters flat trajectories, mild recoil, and plenty of reach for deer, antelope, and similar game.
The Ridgeline FFT Barrel Does the Heavy Lifting
The 20 inch barrel starts as 416R stainless steel, then gets wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber to shed weight while keeping stiffness where it counts. It is button rifled with a quick 1:7.5 twist to stabilize the heavy, high-BC 25 caliber bullets that make this cartridge shine at distance, plus it is free floated and match chambered. The muzzle wears 5/8×24 threads and ships with Christensen's removable stainless side-baffle brake, which takes an already gentle cartridge down to nearly nothing. Swap it for a suppressor and this becomes an extremely pleasant rig to spend a day behind.
Details That Make This 25 Creedmoor Worth Carrying
The precision machined action rides on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so scope bases and rings are easy to source, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped. A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean without creep, feeding runs through an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, and a two-position safety keeps operation simple with gloves on. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote metalwork over the Canyon Phantom stock looks sharp and shrugs off weather, and Christensen backs the whole package with a limited lifetime warranty.
If your hunts involve real elevation gain, this is the kind of rifle you stop noticing on your back and start appreciating when it is time to make the shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 25 Creedmoor and why choose it for the Ridgeline FFT?
The 25 Creedmoor is Hornady's 2025 addition to the Creedmoor family, splitting the difference between the 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor. It pushes high-BC quarter-bore bullets with a flat trajectory and very light recoil, which makes it a natural fit for deer and antelope at longer ranges. In a 5.4 pound rifle like this one, the mild recoil is a real advantage.
Does the Christensen Ridgeline FFT come with a sub-MOA guarantee?
Yes, Christensen Arms guarantees sub-MOA performance from the Ridgeline FFT with quality ammunition. The free floated, match chambered carbon wrapped barrel and spot bedded FFT stock are the backbone of that accuracy. The rifle is also covered by Christensen's limited lifetime warranty.
Can I run a suppressor on this Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor?
You can. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common thread pattern for rifle suppressors and aftermarket muzzle devices. Just remove the factory side-baffle brake and thread on your can, and expect a noticeably quiet, soft-shooting setup given how mild the 25 Creedmoor already is.
What scope mounts fit the Ridgeline FFT?
The receiver is machined on the Remington 700 footprint and comes drilled and tapped, so any Remington 700 pattern bases or one-piece rails will work. That gives you a huge range of mounting options from just about every manufacturer. Given the rifle's long-range potential, a quality scope in the 3-15x or 4-20x range is a popular pairing.
