Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT, Bolt Action Rifle, 22 Creedmoor, 22″ Stainless Steel Barrel

Product Description

“`html

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .22 Creedmoor represents the pinnacle of lightweight precision rifle engineering—a sub-7 lb bolt-action platform purpose-built for PRS competition and long-range hunting where every ounce and every foot-per-second matters. The 22″ stainless carbon fiber-wrapped barrel exposes premium metallurgy while delivering the velocity and ballistic coefficient that have made .22 Creedmoor the wildcarter’s standard for precision rifle competition. This is the rifle for shooters who refuse to compromise between weight, accuracy, and performance.

About Christensen Arms

Founded in 1995 in Gunnison, Utah, Christensen Arms pioneered production carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology and remains the gold standard for lightweight precision rifles. Each barrel features a match-grade stainless steel core wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, resulting in rifles that weigh 30–40% less than conventional steel-barrel builds while maintaining the rigidity and thermal stability required for sub-MOA accuracy. Christensen’s commitment to American manufacturing and premium materials—carbon fiber, titanium, and hand-selected stainless—sets them apart in a market crowded with compromises.

Key Specifications

The Ridgeline FFT Platform

The Ridgeline FFT is Christensen’s flagship bolt-action rifle, engineered from the ground up for precision shooters who demand performance without excess weight. The carbon fiber-wrapped stainless barrel reduces rotational inertia and barrel whip while maintaining the thermal stability essential for consistent, tight groups across temperature changes. The 22″ length in .22 Creedmoor is the optimal balance: long enough to maximize muzzle velocity (pushing 3,400+ fps with quality handloads), short enough to remain practical in field conditions and for PRS match logistics. The exposed stainless finish isn’t just aesthetics—it signals the uncompromising engineering underneath and provides a corrosion-resistant platform for demanding environments.

.22 Creedmoor has become the choice of serious precision rifle competitors and long-range hunters alike. It delivers excellent ballistics (high BC bullets, minimal wind drift), manageable recoil for precise follow-up shots, and lower barrel heating than larger magnums—critical advantages in multi-stage competitions where consistency and speed determine the winner. The 4-round AICS-compatible magazine feeds reliably and supports the rifle’s lightweight, portable design. At 6.5 lbs, you’ll carry this rifle all day without fatigue, and when the moment counts, the Ridgeline FFT delivers the accuracy that separates winners from also-rans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose .22 Creedmoor over other precision rifle calibers?

A: .22 Creedmoor has become the standard for PRS competition and long-range hunting because it delivers superior ballistics (high-BC bullets, minimal wind drift), manageable recoil for fast, accurate follow-up shots, and lower barrel heating than larger magnums. In a 22″ barrel, it generates 3,400+ fps, providing excellent energy and trajectory consistency across distance. It’s the wildcarter’s choice for precision.

Q: How does Christensen’s carbon fiber-wrapped barrel reduce weight without sacrificing accuracy?

A: Christensen wraps a match-grade stainless steel barrel core in aerospace-grade carbon fiber. This design reduces weight by 30–40% compared to all-steel barrels while maintaining rigidity and thermal stability. The result: a barrel that resists whip and temperature-induced POI shifts while remaining light enough to keep the rifle under 7 lbs. This is why Christensen rifles are trusted for precision competition.

Q: What is the Ridgeline FFT optimized for—hunting or competition?

A: The Ridgeline FFT excels at both. It’s built for PRS precision rifle competition (lightweight, suppressor-threaded, AICS-compatible magazine, sub-MOA accuracy) and for serious long-range hunters who demand performance and pack weight discipline. The 22″ stainless barrel, carbon fiber stock, and sub-7 lb weight make it equally at home on the competition line and in the field.

Q: Can the Ridgeline FFT be suppressed?

A: Yes. The 22″ barrel is threaded for standard suppressor mounting. Combined with the .22 Creedmoor’s manageable recoil and the rifle’s lightweight profile, it makes an excellent suppressed platform for hunting and training. Consult your local ATF regulations regarding suppressor registration and use.
