Description
There is a reason the .270 Winchester has stayed in deer camps for nearly a century, and the Mesa FFT Buckmasters edition gives that classic cartridge a thoroughly modern home. Christensen Arms starts with a 22 inch match grade 416R stainless steel barrel that is button rifled, hand lapped, and fully free floated, then finishes it in black Cerakote and threads the muzzle so you can add a suppressor or brake whenever you are ready. Every Mesa FFT is backed by Christensen's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and that is not marketing fluff. These barrels have a well earned reputation for stacking tight groups with ammo they like.
Flash Forged Technology Does the Heavy Lifting
The FFT carbon fiber Sporter stock is where this rifle really separates itself from a standard composite hunting gun. Christensen's Flash Forged process builds a rigid monocoque shell that cuts out the dead weight hiding inside traditional synthetic stocks, shaving up to a full pound while staying stiff enough to keep that barrel floated in rough country. Spot bedding and carbon fiber bedding pillars lock the action in place, and the recoil pad keeps the mild-mannered .270 downright pleasant. The black finish with orange accents gives the Buckmasters edition a look you will not mistake for anything else on the rack.
A Mesa FFT Action Built to Run
The stainless steel receiver wears black Cerakote and comes drilled and tapped on the standard Remington 700 pattern, so mounting a scope base takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. The spiral fluted bolt with skeletonized handle cycles smoothly through the 4 round internal magazine, and the hinged aluminum floorplate makes unloading at the truck quick and painless. A crisp TriggerTech trigger and simple two-position safety round out a package that feels dialed in right out of the box.
For the hunter who wants a genuine lightweight precision rifle in a proven whitetail and mule deer chambering, this one checks all the boxes without any gimmicks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the Mesa FFT Buckmasters?
Yes. The 22 inch match grade barrel comes threaded from the factory, so attaching a suppressor or aftermarket brake is straightforward. Just confirm your device matches the muzzle thread pitch before ordering a mount.
Is this rifle really sub-MOA out of the box?
Christensen Arms backs the Mesa FFT with a sub-MOA guarantee, and owners regularly report tight groups once they find a load the barrel likes. The hand lapped, button rifled bore and free floated barrel do a lot of the work. Following Christensen's recommended barrel break-in procedure helps the rifle settle in faster.
What scope mounts fit the Mesa FFT Buckmasters receiver?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases, which is about the most common mounting footprint out there. That means one-piece Picatinny rails and two-piece bases from just about every major brand will bolt right on.
How does the Buckmasters edition differ from the standard Mesa FFT?
Mechanically it is the same proven Mesa FFT platform with the stainless action, match grade barrel, and TriggerTech trigger. The Buckmasters version wears all black Cerakote metalwork and a black FFT carbon fiber stock with orange accents for a distinct look. Think of it as a special trim package on a rifle that already had its fundamentals sorted.
