There's a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on mountain hunts. At roughly 5.3 pounds bare, this .270 WSM version is the kind of rifle you forget you're carrying until it's time to make it count. Christensen Arms wraps a 416R stainless steel barrel in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, then pairs it with their Flash Forged Technology stock, one of the lightest carbon fiber stocks they've ever produced. The result is a rifle that sheds weight where it matters without going soft on rigidity or repeatability.
The 20 inch barrel is button rifled, free floated, and match chambered, and the whole package carries Christensen's Sub-MOA guarantee. Up front you get a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle wearing a removable stainless side-baffle brake, which takes real bite out of the .270 WSM's recoil in such a light rifle. Spin the brake off and you've got a standard thread pattern ready for your preferred muzzle device. The action is machined on the familiar Remington 700 footprint with a spiral-fluted bolt, so scope bases and aftermarket support are easy to come by. A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and consistent, which goes a long way when you're squeezing off a shot with a heart rate that just climbed 800 vertical feet with you.
The .270 WSM is a great match for this platform. It pushes fast, flat-shooting bullets that handle wind well and hit hard on deer, antelope, and elk-sized game, all from a short action. The 20 inch tube keeps the rifle compact and quick handling in timber or on horseback, and the detachable magazine gives you a 4+1 capacity with easy loading and unloading at the truck. Finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote over the Canyon Phantom FFT carbon stock, it looks as good as it carries.
If your hunts involve more walking than sitting, this is the sort of rifle that earns its keep season after season.
It comes in around 5.3 pounds before you add a scope, which is impressively light for a rifle with this level of accuracy. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel and Flash Forged Technology stock are where most of that weight savings comes from. Even with glass and a sling, you can keep the full setup under 7 pounds.
Yes, it ships with a removable stainless steel side-baffle brake threaded onto the 5/8×24 muzzle. The brake does a nice job taming the .270 WSM in a rifle this light. If you'd rather run a suppressor or another device, the standard thread pattern makes swapping simple.
Christensen Arms backs this rifle with their Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it's built to print groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. The free-floated, match-chambered barrel and TriggerTech trigger do a lot of the heavy lifting there. As with any precision rifle, trying a few different factory loads will help you find what your barrel likes best.
The action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so Rem 700 pattern bases and rails fit right up. That opens the door to a huge range of rings and mounts from just about every optics company out there. Given the rifle's light weight, most hunters pair it with a compact 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope to keep the balance right.
