Description
There is a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on mountain hunts and long-range steel matches alike. Christensen Arms took their proven Ridgeline platform and cut serious weight from it using Flash Forged Technology, a carbon fiber process that builds the stock, floorplate, and bolt knob as ultra-light structures without giving up rigidity. The result is a rifle that carries like a daypack essential but shoots like a bench gun, and Christensen backs that up with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
What Makes This Ridgeline FFT Shoot So Well
The 20 inch barrel starts as button-rifled 416R stainless steel with a match chamber, then gets wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber. That wrap stiffens the barrel, sheds heat quickly, and keeps overall weight down around the 5.3 pound mark. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears a stainless side-baffle brake, so you can run it as-is to tame recoil or spin on a suppressor for quiet mornings in the stand. Feeding it all is a smooth two-lug action with an enlarged ejection port, spiral-fluted bolt, and a crisp TriggerTech trigger that breaks clean every time. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases, so mounting glass is about as easy as it gets.
Ridgeline FFT in 6mm Creedmoor: A Sweet-Shooting Combo
The 6mm Creedmoor chambering deserves a mention on its own. It pushes high-BC bullets fast with very little recoil, which makes it a favorite for pronghorn, deer, and predators at distance, plus it doubles nicely for long-range target work. Pair the mild cartridge with the factory brake and this rifle is downright pleasant to shoot, even from awkward field positions. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote metalwork and Canyon Phantom carbon fiber stock look sharp and hold up to weather, brush, and truck-bed abuse. With 4+1 capacity on board, this is the kind of rifle you buy once and hunt with for decades, and the limited lifetime warranty from Christensen Arms says they expect the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ridgeline FFT really shoot sub-MOA out of the box?
Christensen Arms backs every Ridgeline FFT with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning the rifle is expected to print groups under one inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. The carbon wrapped match-chamber barrel, free-floated fit, and TriggerTech trigger do most of the heavy lifting there. As with any precision rifle, it pays to test a few factory loads to find what your barrel likes best.
What scope mounts fit the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases, which is about the most common footprint out there. That means you have a huge selection of one-piece rails and two-piece bases to choose from. No sights come on the rifle, so plan on adding an optic before your first range trip.
Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes, the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most 30 caliber and smaller rifle suppressors. Just remove the factory side-baffle brake and thread on your can. The brake is a nice option to keep around for unsuppressed shooting since it noticeably cuts the already mild 6mm Creedmoor recoil.
Is 6mm Creedmoor a good hunting cartridge for this Ridgeline FFT?
It is a great match for a lightweight rifle like this. The 6mm Creedmoor shoots flat, bucks wind well with high-BC bullets, and produces very light recoil, which makes accurate shot placement easier from field positions. It is well suited for deer, antelope, and predators, and it doubles as a fun long-range target round.
