Description
Left-handed hunters usually get the leftovers, so it means something when a company like Christensen Arms builds a true left-hand action into a rifle this refined. The Mesa FFT in 7mm Rem Mag pairs a 22 inch featherlight contour 416R stainless steel barrel with the company's Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock, a manufacturing process that trims roughly a full pound compared to a traditional composite stock without giving up rigidity. The result is a magnum-caliber mountain rifle that carries easy on a ridgeline hike and still holds Christensen's Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
What Makes the Mesa FFT Shoot So Well
The barrel is button rifled, hand lapped, match chambered, and free floated, which is the kind of attention most rifles at this weight class simply don't get. A seamless removable radial muzzle brake comes threaded on from the factory and takes real bite out of 7mm Rem Mag recoil, and the threaded muzzle means you can swap to a suppressor whenever you want. The action wears a skeletonized bolt handle, enlarged ejection port, and improved bolt release, and it accepts standard Remington 700 pattern optic bases so scope mounting is about as simple as it gets. Feeding comes from a 3+1 internal magazine with a billet aluminum hinged floorplate, a clean setup that keeps the belly of the rifle snag free.
A Left-Hand 7mm Rem Mag Built for the Backcountry
The TriggerTech trigger breaks crisp and clean, and the FFT sporter stock is spot bedded with bedding pillars and finished with a recoil pad that helps tame the magnum push. Chambered in 7mm Rem Mag, this rifle is a proven match for elk, mule deer, and open-country hunts where flat trajectory and downrange energy matter. Tungsten gray Cerakote over stainless steel means weather is not much of a concern either. For a lefty who wants a lightweight rifle that earns its keep in rough country, this one checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mesa FFT a true left-hand action or just a left-friendly stock?
This is a genuine left-hand action with the bolt handle and ejection port on the correct side for a lefty. Christensen Arms builds dedicated left-hand versions of the Mesa FFT rather than adapting a right-hand receiver, which makes cycling from the shoulder fast and natural for left-handed hunters.
Can I run a suppressor on the Christensen Arms Mesa FFT?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded from the factory, and the seamless radial brake spins right off so you can mount a suppressor or another muzzle device. The featherlight contour barrel keeps overall weight reasonable even with a can attached.
How accurate is the Mesa FFT in 7mm Rem Mag?
Christensen Arms backs this rifle with a Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it should print groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. The hand-lapped, free-floated 416R stainless barrel, match chamber, and spot-bedded action are the main reasons it delivers. Like most precision rifles, it pays to test a few factory loads to find what your barrel likes best.
Does the Mesa FFT use a detachable magazine?
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a billet aluminum hinged floorplate, holding 3 rounds of 7mm Rem Mag plus one in the chamber. The floorplate design keeps the rifle slim and snag free for carrying in rough country. Christensen does offer an AICS-style magazine conversion kit separately if you prefer detachable mags.
