There are lightweight hunting rifles, and then there is the Ridgeline FFT. Christensen Arms took an already lean platform and trimmed it further with Flash Forged Technology, a carbon fiber process that builds the stock as a hollow monocoque shell instead of packing it full of filler. The result shaves up to a full pound off the standard Ridgeline, and you feel every ounce of that savings on a long climb. This version wears the Barren Dune FFT stock with a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish, a combination that looks sharp and blends into open country the way a mountain rifle should.
The 6.5-284 Norma has been a favorite of long range hunters and match competitors for years, pushing high BC 6.5mm bullets fast and flat with recoil that stays civilized. Christensen feeds it through a 416R stainless barrel wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber, 22 inches long with a 1:8 twist to stabilize the heavy bullets this cartridge loves. The barrel is button rifled, hand lapped, free floated, and finished with a match chamber, then capped with a removable stainless side-baffle muzzle brake on 5/8×24 threads. It all backs up the Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee that comes with the rifle.
The precision machined action runs a spiral fluted bolt with an enlarged aluminum knob, an improved bolt release, and an enlarged ejection port for clean feeding and extraction. A TriggerTech trigger breaks crisp without the mush you get from budget triggers, and the receiver accepts standard Remington 700 optics bases, so mounting glass is simple. Rounds ride in an internal magazine under an aluminum hinged floorplate, 4+1 in this chambering, and the stock includes carbon fiber bedding pillars and a recoil pad to keep everything consistent shot after shot.
If your hunts involve more boot leather than truck seat, this is the kind of rifle that rewards the effort. It is built to be carried far and trusted when one shot is all you get, and Christensen backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.
The Ridgeline FFT action shares the Remington 700 footprint, so standard Rem 700 style bases and rails bolt right on. That opens up a huge range of mounting options from just about every ring and rail maker. No sights are included, so plan on adding glass before heading out.
Flash Forged Technology builds the stock as a hollow carbon fiber monocoque shell rather than a filled composite, cutting up to a full pound compared to the standard Ridgeline. Despite the weight loss, it keeps carbon fiber bedding pillars and a recoil pad for a stable, consistent shooting platform. It is the biggest single reason this rifle carries so well in steep country.
It is a proven performer for deer, antelope, and similar game at extended distances. The cartridge launches high BC 6.5mm bullets at strong velocities with manageable recoil, which is why it built its reputation in long range competition before hunters adopted it. The 1:8 twist in this barrel handles the heavier match and hunting bullets well.
Yes, the stainless side-baffle brake threads onto a standard 5/8×24 muzzle, so you can take it off and run a thread protector or another muzzle device instead. The brake does a nice job taming what little recoil the 6.5-284 produces in a rifle this light, so many owners just leave it on.
