Experience precision hunting at featherweight: the Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in .25 Creedmoor delivers sub-7 lb performance without the premium price tag. Built on Christensen’s legendary carbon fiber barrel technology, this 20″ bolt-action rifle combines the weight savings of aerospace-grade materials with the proven accuracy of the efficient .25 Creedmoor cartridge. The Mesa FFT trades a full carbon fiber stock for a durable polymer design—keeping cost accessible while preserving the critical weight reduction that makes long days in the field effortless.

About Christensen Arms

Since 1995, Christensen Arms has engineered precision rifles from their Utah headquarters using aerospace-grade materials and proprietary carbon fiber barrel technology. Their signature innovation—a stainless steel barrel core wrapped in carbon fiber—delivers rigidity and match-grade accuracy while slashing weight compared to traditional steel barrels. Christensen rifles routinely weigh 5–7 lbs, a decisive advantage for hunters covering distance or shooters demanding tack-driving consistency without fatigue.

Key Specifications

The Mesa FFT Platform

The Mesa FFT is Christensen’s answer to shooters seeking precision and portability without flagship pricing. By retaining the carbon fiber barrel—where the weight magic happens—and switching to a quality Green Mountain polymer stock, Christensen delivers a rifle that still edges in under 7 lbs fully equipped. This platform excels for western hunting, backcountry pursuits, and precision-shooting competitors who value field mobility.

The .25 Creedmoor is the perfect caliber for this design: efficient, accurate, and deadly on medium game from 100 to 600+ yards. Its modest recoil and fast muzzle velocity make the Mesa FFT an ideal platform for hunters who won’t sacrifice performance for pack weight. The 20″ threaded barrel accepts suppressors, expanding your tactical and hunting options. Rem 700 pattern means abundant aftermarket support for optics, triggers, and chassis upgrades as your precision journey evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose .25 Creedmoor for the Mesa FFT?

A: The .25 Creedmoor delivers superior ballistic efficiency, lower recoil, and excellent velocity from a 20″ barrel compared to larger magnum cartridges. It’s ideal for precision hunting of medium game, offers minimal wind drift, and shoots flat to 600+ yards—all while keeping the rifle lightweight and easy to manage in the field.

Q: How does Christensen’s carbon fiber barrel save weight?

A: Christensen wraps a stainless steel barrel core with aerospace-grade carbon fiber, creating a structure that is as rigid and accurate as steel but significantly lighter. This proprietary technology allows the Mesa FFT to weigh ~6.5 lbs unscoped—lighter than most competitor rifles with steel barrels—while maintaining match-grade precision.

Q: What’s the difference between the Mesa FFT and Christensen’s Ridgeline FFT?

A: Both feature carbon fiber barrels, but the Ridgeline FFT adds a carbon fiber stock for sub-7 lb performance and premium aesthetics at a higher price point. The Mesa FFT uses a polymer stock to keep cost accessible while retaining the critical weight savings of the carbon fiber barrel—making it ideal for value-conscious precision shooters.

Q: Can the Mesa FFT accept a suppressor?

A: Yes. The 20″ barrel is threaded and ready for modern suppressors. The combination of .25 Creedmoor’s moderate recoil and the rifle’s lightweight profile makes it an excellent suppressor host for hunting or tactical applications.
