Description
Pack a 7mm Rem Mag into the backcountry without paying for it in shoulder fatigue. That's the whole idea behind the Ridgeline FFT. Christensen Arms took their proven Ridgeline platform and applied Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber throughout, trimming up to a full pound off the standard model. The FFT Sporter stock uses a compression molded monocoque shell with carbon fiber bedding pillars and spot bedding, so you get real rigidity where it counts instead of hollow filler. Even the floor plate and bolt knob are FFT carbon fiber. The result is a magnum rifle that rides light on a sling all day and still settles in steady when a bull steps out at last light.
A Barrel Built for the Long Shot
The heart of this rifle is a 22 inch, hand lapped 416R stainless barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber, free floated, button rifled with a 1:9 twist, and finished with a match chamber. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears a removable stainless side baffle brake that takes real bite out of the 7mm Rem Mag's recoil. Prefer to run a suppressor? Spin the brake off and thread one on. Christensen backs the whole package with their Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and plenty of these rifles shoot well under that with a load they like.
Ridgeline FFT Details That Matter in the Field
The action is machined on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so scope bases and rings are easy to source. You also get a spiral fluted bolt, enlarged ejection port, a crisp TriggerTech trigger, and a simple two position safety. The hinged floor plate holds 3 rounds down plus one in the pipe, which is plenty for hunting work without a magazine hanging below the stock.
Burnt Bronze Looks, Backcountry Manners
This version pairs a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish over the metalwork with a green stock accented in black and tan. It looks sharp, but more importantly the Cerakote and stainless construction shrug off the wet, snowy, miserable conditions where the best hunts tend to happen. If you have been wanting one rifle to cover elk, mule deer, and pronghorn from timber to way out there, this one earns its spot in the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the Ridgeline FFT 7mm Rem Mag?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most .30 caliber and 7mm suppressors. The factory side baffle brake spins off easily, so swapping between the brake and a can takes just a minute.
What scope mounts fit the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT?
The action is built on the Remington 700 footprint and comes drilled and tapped for standard Rem 700 bases. That opens up a huge selection of rings, one piece rails, and mounts from just about every optics company out there. No proprietary hardware to hunt down.
Does this rifle use a detachable magazine?
No, the Ridgeline FFT feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floor plate, and in 7mm Rem Mag it holds 3 rounds plus one in the chamber. The floor plate itself is FFT carbon fiber to save weight. Many hunters prefer this setup since there is no detachable mag to lose or rattle in the field.
Is the Ridgeline FFT accurate enough for long range hunting?
Christensen Arms backs it with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, thanks to the hand lapped, free floated carbon fiber barrel, match chamber, and TriggerTech trigger. Paired with the flat shooting 7mm Rem Mag and quality ammo, it is well suited for extended range work on big game. Like any precision rifle, spend some range time finding the load your barrel prefers.
