Product Description

“`html

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in .300 Winchester Magnum delivers serious long-range terminal performance in a featherweight 6.9-pound package. Built on a Remington 700 pattern action with a carbon fiber-wrapped barrel and polymer stock, this 22″ rifle combines magnum reach with everyday carry weight—ideal for hunters and precision shooters who refuse to compromise between power and portability. At Mesa pricing, you’re getting genuine Christensen engineering without the premium of the flagship Ridgeline.

About Christensen Arms

Founded in 1995 in Gunnison, Utah, Christensen Arms pioneered production carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology and remains the gold standard in lightweight precision rifles. Every Mesa FFT barrel features a match-grade stainless steel core wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, dramatically reducing weight while maintaining the rigidity and thermal stability required for consistent accuracy. This patented approach has made Christensen synonymous with sub-7-pound rifles that shoot like rifles twice their weight.

Key Specifications

The Mesa FFT Platform

The Mesa FFT represents Christensen’s commitment to making carbon fiber barrel technology accessible without sacrificing real-world performance. This bolt-action platform pairs the proven Remington 700 footprint—compatible with aftermarket triggers, optics mounts, and chassis systems—with a durable Green Mountain polymer stock that handles field conditions while keeping overall weight under 7 pounds. The 22″ barrel strikes the ideal balance for .300 Win Mag, providing muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient without the muzzle climb and recoil penalty of longer magnums in a lightweight rifle.

Built for hunters who cover country—mountain elk, long-range western hunts, or precision target work—the Mesa FFT’s threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices, reducing felt recoil and report without adding permanent weight. The 3-round AICS-compatible magazine system ensures reliability and gives you quick caliber conversion options down the road. Compared to traditional steel-barrel magnums in the same weight class, the carbon fiber construction delivers superior rigidity and thermal stability, meaning your shots stay consistent from the first round through extended strings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose .300 Winchester Magnum for the Mesa FFT?

A: The .300 Win Mag is a proven long-range magnum that delivers excellent energy retention beyond 500 yards, making it ideal for elk, mule deer, and extended-range hunting. With a 22″ barrel, you retain near-optimal velocity while keeping the rifle light and handy—unlike longer magnum options. The cartridge is also widely available and well-understood by shooters and reloaders.

Q: How does the carbon fiber barrel reduce weight without sacrificing accuracy?

A: Christensen’s carbon fiber-wrapped barrel features a match-grade stainless steel core surrounded by aerospace-grade carbon fiber. This design is significantly stiffer and lighter than steel—carbon fiber has a higher strength-to-weight ratio. The result: a 6.9-pound rifle that maintains the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy and thermal stability compared to heavier steel-barrel competitors.

Q: Is the Mesa FFT suitable for suppressor use?

A: Yes. The 22″ barrel is threaded to accept muzzle devices and suppressors. The lightweight profile and manageable recoil of a suppressed .300 Win Mag on the Mesa FFT make it an excellent choice for subsonic hunting or tactical applications where noise reduction matters.

Q: What is the warranty and support for Christensen Arms rifles?

A: Christensen Arms backs all production rifles with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. Western Sport, as an authorized dealer since 2007, can assist with warranty claims and provide technical support.
