Christensen Ridgeline FFT | 7mm BC | 20″ Barrel

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT is a purpose-built, lightweight bolt-action rifle designed for backcountry hunters who prioritize precision and carry weight. It pairs a 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber with a sporter FFT carbon-fiber stock for a low overall weight and restrained recoil. This configuration is well-suited to extended glassing-and-hike hunting scenarios and deliberate medium- to long-range field shots. Consider pairing the rifle with a rugged, sub-$1000 hunting riflescope optimized for 3–12x magnification to match the rifle’s backcountry focus (specific optic model recommendation not provided in source data).

Applications: backcountry hunting and mountain or alpine stalking where weight savings and reliable accuracy matter.
