Description
Pick up the Ridgeline FFT and the first thing you'll notice is what isn't there. This 25 Creedmoor build comes in around 5.4 pounds, which is genuinely light for a full-size bolt gun with a steel action, and Christensen Arms got there without gimmicks. The Flash Forged Technology stock uses a compression-molded monocoque shell, sort of like an aircraft fuselage, that trims roughly a pound compared to a traditional carbon composite stock. Add the carbon fiber bolt handle and forged carbon floorplate and the weight savings stack up fast, which your legs will appreciate on day three of an elk hunt.
The Ridgeline FFT Barrel Does the Heavy Lifting
The 20 inch barrel is 416R stainless wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber, button rifled with a 1:7.5 twist that stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the 25 Creedmoor was designed around. It's free-floated, spot bedded at the action, and capped with a removable side-baffle brake on 5/8×24 threads, so swapping to a suppressor or thread protector is simple. A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean in the 2.5 to 3.5 pound range, and Christensen backs the whole package with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. This isn't a range queen that happens to be light. It's a hunting rifle that shoots like it costs.
Burnt Bronze Looks, Backcountry Manners
The steel receiver wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote and is drilled and tapped on the familiar Remington 700 footprint, so scope base options are everywhere. The Barren Dune carbon fiber Sporter stock blends into sage and rimrock country and sheds weather without complaint. Rounds feed from a 4+1 hinged floorplate setup, which keeps the belly of the rifle slick with nothing to snag or lose in the snow.
If you've been eyeing the 25 Creedmoor for deer, antelope, and long walks in steep country, this is one of the cleanest ways to get into it. Light enough for the climb, accurate enough to make the shot count when you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 25 Creedmoor and what is it good for?
The 25 Creedmoor is essentially the 6.5 Creedmoor necked down to .25 caliber, built to push heavy, high-BC quarter-bore bullets efficiently. It shoots flat with mild recoil, which makes it a great fit for deer, antelope, and open-country hunting at extended distances. The 1:7.5 twist on this Ridgeline FFT is set up specifically for those modern heavy-for-caliber loads.
Can I run a suppressor on the Ridgeline FFT?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, and the factory side-baffle brake is removable, so a direct-thread suppressor or a mount in that pattern spins right on. The short 20 inch barrel keeps overall length manageable even with a can attached.
Does this Ridgeline FFT use detachable magazines?
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 4 rounds plus one in the chamber. It keeps the bottom of the rifle smooth and snag-free, and there is no magazine to drop or lose in the field. The floorplate itself is forged carbon fiber, which helps keep the weight down.
How do I mount a scope on this rifle?
The receiver is drilled and tapped and follows the Remington 700 footprint, so bases and one-piece rails for a Rem 700 pattern will fit. No sights are included, so plan on adding a rail or bases, rings, and glass. Given the sub-MOA guarantee, quality optics are worth pairing with it.
