About Christensen Arms

Since 1995, Christensen Arms has pioneered production carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology from their Utah headquarters, earning a reputation as innovators in lightweight precision rifle engineering. Their proprietary construction—a stainless steel barrel core wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber—delivers rigidity and accuracy comparable to all-steel barrels while reducing weight by up to 40%. Christensen rifles are machined entirely in the USA using match-grade materials: carbon fiber, titanium, and premium stainless steel, creating sub-7 lb precision platforms that outclass heavier competitors in both field performance and shooter fatigue.

Key Specifications

The Ridgeline FFT Platform

The Ridgeline FFT is Christensen’s flagship hunting rifle, engineered for hunters who cover miles in pursuit of elk, mule deer, and antelope across open country where every ounce matters. The FFT designation—”Full Feather Technology”—represents the complete integration of carbon fiber barrels and carbon fiber stocks, creating a cohesive lightweight system that doesn’t sacrifice rigidity or accuracy. At 6.5 lbs, this rifle weighs less than most bolt guns with 24″ barrels, yet the 20″ carbon-wrapped barrel maintains the velocity and ballistic performance of a traditional rifle. The threaded muzzle accommodates a suppressor for reduced recoil and hearing protection in high-altitude hunts.

The .25 Creedmoor is the optimal cartridge for this platform: a 6.5mm medium-magnum that delivers 3,000+ fps with modern 140-gr match bullets, offering flat trajectories, energy retention, and precision through wind out to 800+ yards. Compared to .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor, the .25 CM achieves higher velocity in shorter barrels while maintaining recoil management. The Dune finish—warm tan carbon fiber—blends seamlessly with high-desert terrain and offers one of Christensen’s most visually distinctive aesthetic finishes. This is a rifle built for serious Western hunters who demand cutting-edge engineering and uncompromising precision in a package light enough to hunt all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose .25 Creedmoor over .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor?

A: The .25 Creedmoor (6.5×47mm) delivers higher velocity than .308 Win in short barrels (3,000+ fps with 140-gr bullets) while maintaining lighter recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor. It excels at 400–800 yard precision hunting and is ideal for the 20″ Ridgeline FFT barrel, where velocity preservation matters. Ballistically, it offers a flat trajectory and wind-bucking performance suited to Western open-country hunting without magnum recoil.

Q: How does a carbon fiber-wrapped barrel differ from a traditional steel barrel?

A: Christensen’s carbon fiber-wrapped barrels feature a stainless steel barrel core surrounded by aerospace-grade carbon fiber, reducing weight ~40% compared to all-steel barrels while maintaining rigidity, heat dissipation, and accuracy. The result is a 20″ barrel that performs like a 24″ traditional barrel but weighs significantly less, reducing shooter fatigue and enabling faster target acquisition in field hunting situations.

Q: At 6.5 lbs, is this rifle durable enough for backcountry hunting?

A: Yes. The Ridgeline FFT is engineered with aerospace-grade materials—stainless steel barrel cores, titanium components, and aerospace carbon fiber—designed to withstand field abuse. Christensen rifles are known for reliability across extreme elevation changes, temperature swings, and rugged terrain. The lightweight design enhances durability by reducing structural stress, and the carbon fiber stock resists weather and temperature shifts far better than traditional wood.

Q: Can I suppress this rifle? Is the barrel threaded?

A: Yes. The Ridgeline FFT .25 Creedmoor features a factory-threaded 5/8″-24 muzzle, ready for any .264 caliber suppressor. The .25 CM’s efficient case design and 20″ barrel work excellently with suppressors for reduced recoil and hearing protection.
