CHRISTENSEN ARMS Mesa FFT | 6.5 PRC | 20″ | 801-01075-00

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT is a lightweight bolt-action sporting rifle built for backcountry use and precision field shooting. It pairs a 20″ featherweight 416R stainless barrel with Christensen’s FFT carbon-fiber sporter stock to keep carry weight low while maintaining bedding and tracking for accuracy. The rifle is finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote and features a removable seamless radial muzzle brake and an internal hinged floorplate magazine system.

A suitable optic choice under $1,000 for this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50, which offers the magnification range and tracking needed for precision field shots without exceeding the suggested budget.
