There is a moment on every backcountry hunt when you feel every ounce in your hands and on your back. That is exactly the problem Christensen Arms set out to solve with the Ridgeline FFT, and in .270 Winchester it makes a whole lot of sense. This rifle tips the scales at roughly 5.3 pounds bare, which is remarkable for a full-size bolt gun chambered in a proven big game cartridge. The secret is Flash Forged Technology, Christensen's carbon fiber process that builds the stock as a monocoque shell, sort of like an aircraft fuselage, cutting a full pound compared to the standard Ridgeline without giving up rigidity. You get FFT carbon in the stock, floor plate, and bolt knob, all dressed in Burnt Bronze Cerakote with green and tan accents that look sharp without screaming for attention.
The 20-inch carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel is what put Christensen Arms on the map, and it keeps this rifle stiff, light, and quick to shoulder in timber or on a ridge. The muzzle is threaded and comes topped with a removable stainless side-baffle brake that takes real bite out of recoil, or spin it off if you prefer to run something else. Behind it sits an action machined on the familiar Remington 700 footprint with a spiral-fluted bolt and enlarged ejection port, so scope mounts and aftermarket support are easy to come by.
The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and adjusts to your preference, and the internal magazine with hinged floor plate holds 4+1 of .270 Win, plenty for deer, antelope, and elk-sized work at practical hunting ranges. Christensen backs the whole package with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty. If you have been eyeing a true lightweight mountain rifle in a cartridge you can find ammo for anywhere, this one checks the boxes without asking you to compromise on build quality.
This configuration comes in around 5.3 pounds before optics, which is about a pound lighter than the standard Ridgeline. The savings come from the Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber used in the stock, floor plate, and bolt knob. Even with a scope and sling mounted, you are looking at a very packable setup for mountain hunts.
Yes. The 20-inch barrel is threaded and ships with a stainless steel side-baffle brake that does a fine job taming .270 Win recoil in a rifle this light. You can remove it and run a different muzzle device or a thread protector if you prefer a cleaner profile.
No, the Ridgeline FFT uses an internal magazine with a hinged floor plate, holding four rounds plus one in the chamber. Many hunters prefer this style since there is no box magazine to rattle, snag, or lose in the field. Unloading is quick by dropping the floor plate.
The action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so bases and rings designed for a Rem 700 pattern will work. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no iron sights, since this rifle is meant to be run with glass. That footprint also gives you a huge range of aftermarket options down the road.
