Description

There's a reason the Ridgeline FFT keeps showing up on mountain hunts. Christensen Arms built this one around their Flash Forged Technology stock, a compression-molded carbon fiber shell that's a solid load-bearing piece with no internal supports needed. That's where the FFT name comes from, and it's how this rifle sheds serious weight compared to standard Ridgeline models without giving up rigidity. Wrapped in a Canyon Phantom finish with Burnt Bronze Cerakote on the metalwork, it looks as good as it carries.

Why 7mm Backcountry in a 16.25 Inch Barrel Makes Sense

The 7mm Backcountry cartridge was designed from the ground up to produce big velocity from short barrels, which is exactly why this pairing works so well. You get a compact rifle that balances beautifully, tucks into a scabbard or pack without hassle, and stays maneuverable when you add a suppressor to the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle. A removable stainless side-baffle brake comes standard to tame recoil, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets this cartridge was built around.

Ridgeline FFT Build Quality Where It Counts

The barrel starts as button-rifled 416R stainless steel, then gets wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, free-floated, and finished with a match chamber. The action is precision-machined on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so scope bases and rings are easy to source, and the spiral-fluted bolt runs an M16-style extractor for dependable cycling in cold, dirty conditions. A crisp, adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean, and the internal magazine with hinged floorplate holds four rounds plus one in the chamber.

Putting the Ridgeline FFT to Work

Christensen Arms backs this rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and the carbon barrel holds its point of impact well as it heats up. If you're the type who counts ounces before elk season, or you just want a fast-handling 7mm that hits like a much bigger rifle, this one earns its spot in the truck. Pair it with a lightweight scope and quality factory loads and it's ready for anything from timber whitetails to cross-canyon bulls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Ridgeline FFT pair 7mm Backcountry with a 16.25 inch barrel?

The 7mm Backcountry cartridge was engineered to reach magnum-class velocities out of shorter barrels, so you're not leaving much performance on the table with the 16.25 inch tube. The payoff is a rifle that's shorter, lighter, and far easier to handle in tight timber or with a suppressor attached. It's a smart combination for hunters who want big-rifle punch in a packable format.

Is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT suppressor ready?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which fits the majority of popular suppressors and muzzle devices. The included stainless side-baffle brake is removable, so swapping over to a can takes just a minute. The short barrel keeps overall length manageable even with a suppressor mounted.

What scope mounts work with the Ridgeline FFT?

The receiver is machined on the Remington 700 footprint and comes drilled and tapped, so standard Rem 700 bases and rails bolt right on. No iron sights are included, so plan on running an optic. Given how light this rifle is, a compact hunting scope keeps the balance where it should be.

How accurate is the Ridgeline FFT in 7mm Backcountry?

Christensen Arms backs the Ridgeline FFT with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using quality factory ammunition. The button-rifled, hand-lapped 416R stainless barrel is free-floated and match chambered, and the carbon fiber wrap adds rigidity that helps groups stay consistent as the barrel warms. The adjustable TriggerTech trigger makes it easy to shoot up to its potential.
