Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT, Bolt Action Rifle, 22″ Threaded Stainless Steel Barrel, RL PRC Bl/gr

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .300 PRC delivers sub-7 lb precision performance in one of the most potent long-range hunting cartridges available—a rare combination that redefines what’s possible in a lightweight bolt-action rifle. Engineered with aerospace-grade materials and Christensen’s signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology, this rifle achieves the ballistic capability to reach 1,500+ yards without the weight penalty of traditional steel barrels. For serious hunters and precision shooters who demand both power and portability, the Ridgeline FFT is the ultimate field rifle.

About Christensen Arms

Founded in 1995 in Gunnison, Utah, Christensen Arms pioneered production carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology and remains the leader in lightweight precision rifles. Their proprietary design wraps a stainless steel barrel core in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, dramatically reducing weight while maintaining the rigidity and accuracy of steel—a breakthrough that allows Ridgeline FFT rifles to weigh 5–7 lbs while delivering match-grade precision. Every Christensen rifle is manufactured in the USA using titanium, match-grade stainless, and carbon fiber components built to exacting standards.

Key Specifications

The Ridgeline FFT Platform

The Ridgeline FFT is Christensen Arms’ flagship hunting rifle, combining carbon fiber-wrapped barrel technology with a full carbon fiber stock to achieve unmatched weight savings without compromise. The 22″ barrel in .300 PRC provides the velocity and energy needed for precision shots beyond 1,000 yards while remaining handy in the field—ideal for western hunt country where long-range capability and pack weight directly impact success. The Rem 700 pattern action ensures compatibility with aftermarket triggers, scopes mounts, and ammunition from any major manufacturer.

Built for hunters who cover miles of terrain and shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy at extreme distance, the Ridgeline FFT’s threaded barrel accommodates suppressors for hearing protection and recoil reduction. At 6.9 lbs, this rifle competes favorably with lightweight .308 bolt guns while delivering .300 PRC’s superior ballistics—a 190-grain bullet traveling 3,200+ fps reaches 1,500 yards with energy to spare. Whether you’re glassing ridgelines in elk country or stretching shots across open prairie, the Ridgeline FFT delivers precision without the weight burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is .300 PRC and why choose it over .300 Win Mag?

A: .300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is a modern SAAMI standard magnum designed specifically for long-range precision. It achieves higher velocity and flatter trajectory than .300 Win Mag in the same case volume, making it ideal for 1,000–1,500 yard hunting. The Ridgeline FFT’s 22″ barrel optimizes .300 PRC velocity while maintaining a packable field rifle.

Q: How does carbon fiber wrapping reduce weight without losing accuracy?

A: Christensen’s carbon fiber-wrapped barrel uses a stainless steel core for precision and thermal stability, then wraps it in aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is 5× stronger than steel by weight, so the barrel maintains rigidity and accuracy while weighing half as much as traditional steel. This engineering allows the Ridgeline FFT to weigh 6.9 lbs—lighter than most .308 rifles—while delivering match-grade precision.

Q: Is the Ridgeline FFT suitable for a suppressor?

A: Yes. The 22″ barrel is factory-threaded for suppressors, making the Ridgeline FFT an excellent suppressor host. A quality suppressor reduces recoil and hearing damage without adding significant weight, and the lightweight platform benefits from recoil management. Threaded cap is included.

Q: What type of shooting is the Ridgeline FFT designed for?

A: The Ridgeline FFT is purpose-built for long-range hunting and precision shooting. Its .300 PRC cartridge, lightweight design, and precision Rem 700 action make it ideal for western hunting (elk, mule deer) where pack weight and 1,000+ yard capability are both critical. It also serves precision rifle competitors and long-range target shooters seeking a portable, accurate platform.
