Description
There's a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on backcountry hunts. Christensen Arms took an already light rifle and trimmed up to a full pound off it using their Flash Forged Technology, a carbon fiber process that builds the stock as a hollow aerospace-style shell instead of packing it with filler. The result is a rifle you can carry up a ridge all day without regretting it, chambered here in 7mm PRC, one of the best long-range hunting cartridges to come along in years.
What Makes the Ridgeline FFT Different
The 22 inch barrel starts as 416R stainless steel, then gets wrapped in carbon fiber for stiffness without the weight penalty. It's free floated, cut with a 1:8 twist to stabilize the heavy, high-BC bullets the 7mm PRC was designed around, and threaded 5/8×24 with a removable stainless side-baffle brake that takes real bite out of magnum recoil. Feeding comes from an internal magazine with an FFT carbon fiber hinged floorplate, and the spiral-fluted bolt runs smooth with a skeletonized handle and carbon FFT knob. A TriggerTech trigger handles fire control with the kind of crisp, clean break that makes wringing out the sub-MOA guarantee a whole lot easier.
Built for the Long Haul
The receiver wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote over the green stock with black and tan accents, a finish combo that looks sharp and shrugs off weather. There are no sights on board, but the action is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, so mounting glass is simple and your optic options are wide open. A two-position safety and billet aluminum bottom metal round out the details.
Why Hunters Pick the 7mm PRC Ridgeline
This is the rifle for the elk hunter who packs in miles from the truck, the mule deer guy glassing across canyons, or anyone who wants magnum reach in a package that carries like a lightweight. Pair it with a quality scope and good factory ammo and you've got a legitimate cross-canyon rig that won't wear you out getting there.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much recoil does the Ridgeline FFT in 7mm PRC have?
The 7mm PRC is a magnum cartridge, so it has some push, but the included side-baffle muzzle brake tames a good portion of it. In a rifle this light you'll feel more than you would in a heavy bench gun, though most hunters find it very manageable, especially with the brake on. If you shoot suppressed or prefer a bare muzzle, the brake threads off a standard 5/8×24 pattern.
Does the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, which is about as common as it gets, so finding rings and bases is easy. Given the reach of the 7mm PRC, this rifle deserves quality glass in the 4-16x or 5-25x range.
Is the Ridgeline FFT really sub-MOA accurate?
Christensen Arms backs every Ridgeline FFT with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning it should print three-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. The free-floated carbon-wrapped barrel and TriggerTech trigger do a lot of the heavy lifting there. Independent range reviews of this rifle in 7mm PRC have consistently reported groups that back the claim up.
What is the magazine capacity of the 7mm PRC Ridgeline FFT?
This rifle uses an internal box magazine that holds 3 rounds of 7mm PRC, plus one in the chamber. Instead of a detachable mag, it has a hinged FFT carbon fiber floorplate with the release lever inside the trigger guard, so you can dump rounds quickly without cycling them through the action. It's a clean, snag-free setup that a lot of hunters prefer in the field.
