Description
Every ounce matters when you're climbing into elk country, and that's exactly the problem the Ridgeline FFT was built to solve. Christensen Arms took their already-light Ridgeline and applied Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber to the stock, hinged floor plate, and bolt knob, shaving up to a full pound compared to the standard model. Chambered in .300 Win Mag, this one gives you legitimate cross-canyon reach on elk, moose, and big mule deer without the boat-anchor weight that usually comes with a magnum bolt gun.
What Makes the Ridgeline FFT Shoot So Well
The heart of this rifle is a 22 inch, 416R stainless barrel wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber. It's button rifled with a 1:10 twist, hand lapped, free floated, and cut with a match chamber, and Christensen backs the whole package with their Sub-MOA guarantee. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears a removable stainless side-baffle brake, which does real work taming .300 Win Mag recoil in a rifle this light. Pull it off and you're ready for a suppressor. A crisp, adjustable TriggerTech trigger rounds things out, and it's one of the better factory triggers you'll find on a production hunting rifle.
A Christensen Arms Mountain Rifle That Carries Like a Daypack
The FFT carbon fiber sporter stock uses stainless bedding pillars and spot bedding for consistent contact with the action, plus a recoil pad that earns its keep behind a magnum chambering. Feeding comes from an internal magazine with a carbon fiber hinged floor plate, good for 3+1 in this caliber. The action is machined to accept standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases, so mounting glass is simple, and billet aluminum bottom metal and an enlarged ejection port show the attention to detail Christensen is known for.
Where the Ridgeline FFT .300 Win Mag Fits
This is the rifle for the hunter who covers miles, hunts above the treeline, or just refuses to lug extra weight for no reason. Pair it with a quality scope and a load it likes, and you've got a backcountry setup that shoots as well as it carries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ridgeline FFT really sub-MOA out of the box?
Christensen Arms backs every Ridgeline FFT with a factory Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it should print three-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammo. Like any precision rifle, it will favor certain loads, so plan on testing a few factory options to find what your barrel likes best. The match chamber and hand-lapped, free-floated barrel do the heavy lifting here.
Can I run a suppressor on the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just remove the factory side-baffle brake and thread on your can. Keep in mind adding a suppressor to a lightweight magnum will shift the balance forward a bit, though most hunters find the recoil reduction well worth it.
What scope mounts fit the Ridgeline FFT?
The action uses standard Remington 700 pattern optics bases with 6-48 screws, so you have a huge selection of rings, bases, and one-piece mounts to choose from. There are no iron sights on this rifle, so plan on mounting glass before heading to the range. A quality one-piece base is a popular choice for magnum chamberings since it adds rigidity.
Does the Ridgeline FFT use a detachable magazine?
No, it feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate, which holds 3 rounds of .300 Win Mag plus one in the chamber. The floor plate itself is made from FFT carbon fiber to save weight, and it drops open for quick, safe unloading in the field. Many hunters prefer this setup since there's no detachable mag to lose or rattle on a long hike.
