Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT, Bolt Action Rifle, 22″ Threaded Stainless Steel Barrel, 7MM PRC Bl/gr

Product Description

“`html

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 7mm PRC delivers sub-7 lb weight without compromise. Built on a Rem 700 pattern action with a 22″ carbon fiber wrapped barrel and matching carbon fiber stock, this rifle combines the newest SAAMI long-range hunting cartridge with aerospace-grade materials to create a mountain-ready precision hunter. At 6.8 lbs, the Ridgeline FFT weighs less than competing steel-barrel rifles while maintaining the rigidity and accuracy demanded by serious hunters.

About Christensen Arms

Since 1995, Christensen Arms has been the American innovator in production carbon fiber–wrapped barrel technology. Founded in Gunnison, Utah, and made entirely in the USA, Christensen pioneered the process of wrapping a match-grade stainless steel barrel core with aerospace-grade carbon fiber—a technique that reduces rifle weight by 30–40% compared to steel barrels while enhancing thermal stability and precision. Every Christensen rifle combines carbon fiber barrels with titanium hardware and premium stocks, resulting in light, accurate, field-ready firearms.

Key Specifications

The Ridgeline FFT Platform

The Ridgeline FFT is Christensen Arms’ flagship hunting rifle, engineered for hunters who demand precision without the pack weight penalty. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel reduces weight while maintaining the stiffness required for long-range accuracy; the matching carbon fiber stock further shaves ounces without sacrificing durability or ergonomics. The Rem 700 pattern action is proven, widely supported, and compatible with standard gunsmith work. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors, muzzle brakes, or precision muzzle devices—a genuine advantage for hearing protection on the hunt or for precision rifle competition.

The 7mm PRC is the ideal match for this platform: a new SAAMI cartridge offering long-range ballistics, higher velocity than the 6.5 PRC, and proven terminal performance on elk, mule deer, and other large game. The 3-round AICS magazine keeps the rifle compact while feeding reliably. At 6.8 lbs fully assembled, the Ridgeline FFT is at home on steep mountain hunts where every ounce matters—yet it delivers the precision and power of a full-sized magnum. This is the rifle for hunters who refuse to compromise between accuracy, power, and portability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the 7mm PRC a good choice for long-range hunting?

A: The 7mm PRC is a new SAAMI magnum cartridge offering superior ballistics to the 6.5 PRC, with higher velocity, flatter trajectories, and proven energy retention at distance. It delivers excellent terminal performance on elk and large game while remaining manageable in recoil. The Ridgeline FFT’s 22″ barrel optimizes 7mm PRC velocity for 300+ yard hunting scenarios.

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

A: Christensen Arms wraps a match-grade stainless steel barrel core with aerospace-grade carbon fiber. The steel core maintains bore integrity and thermal conductivity for accuracy; the carbon fiber sleeve reduces overall weight by 30–40% compared to a solid steel barrel of the same length. The carbon fiber also provides excellent rigidity, reducing harmonic vibration and supporting precision shooting.

Q: Is the Ridgeline FFT suitable for mountain hunting?

A: Yes. At 6.8 lbs, the Ridgeline FFT is one of the lightest precision hunting rifles available, making it ideal for steep, multi-day hunts where pack weight is critical. The carbon fiber stock and barrel reduce fatigue without compromising the rigidity needed for long-range accuracy, and the 7mm PRC delivers reliable power on elk, mule deer, and similar game.

Q: Can I use a suppressor or muzzle brake on the Ridgeline FFT?

A: Yes. The Ridgeline FFT comes with a threaded 22″ barrel, compatible with industry-standard suppressors, muzzle brakes, and precision muzzle devices. A suppressor adds hearing protection and reduces recoil, making it a valuable accessory for both hunting and precision rifle competition.
