There's a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on backcountry hunts. Christensen Arms took their already-light Ridgeline and shaved up to a full pound off it using Flash Forged Technology, a carbon fiber process they use for the stock, hinged floorplate, and bolt knob. The result is a rifle that comes in around five and a half pounds bare, which you will appreciate about two miles into a steep climb with an elk tag in your pocket. This version wears a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish over a Barren Dune stock, a warm earthy combo that fits right in on open country hunts.
The 6.8 Western chambering is a smart match for this platform. It launches heavy, high-BC .277 caliber bullets with real authority, giving you flat trajectories and plenty of energy for elk, mule deer, and just about anything else on this continent. The 20 inch barrel is 416R stainless wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, button rifled, hand lapped, free floated, and finished with a match chamber. A 1:7.5 twist stabilizes the long bullets this cartridge was designed around. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a removable stainless side-baffle brake, so you can run the brake, spin on a suppressor, or cap it off as you please.
The action is machined on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so scope bases are easy to find, and it runs a spiral fluted dual-lug bolt with an enlarged ejection port for quick top loading. Fire control comes from TriggerTech, which breaks clean with next to no creep, and the whole package is backed by Christensen's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and limited lifetime warranty. The FFT stock uses a compression molded monocoque shell with carbon bedding pillars and spot bedding, so it stays rigid without the dead weight of a traditional composite. Rounds feed from an internal magazine with a carbon fiber hinged floorplate, keeping the profile clean for carry. For anyone wanting one rifle that carries like a daypack and shoots like a target gun, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Bare rifle weight runs right around 5.3 to 5.5 pounds depending on configuration. The FFT carbon fiber stock, floorplate, and bolt knob save up to a full pound compared to the standard Ridgeline. Even with a scope, rings, and sling, most setups stay comfortably under 8 pounds, which makes a real difference on long hikes.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, and the factory side-baffle brake is removable, so a direct thread or standard mount suppressor spins right on. Plenty of owners run these rifles suppressed in the field with great results.
No, it feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate made from FFT carbon fiber. The release button sits inside the front of the trigger guard for quick unloading. It keeps the bottom of the rifle slick and snag free for carrying, and the enlarged ejection port makes top loading easy.
The action is built on the Remington 700 footprint and comes drilled and tapped for standard Rem 700 bases, so mounting options are nearly endless. Any quality 700 pattern rail or two-piece base set will work. A lightweight base and ring setup is a popular choice to keep the overall package light.
