CHRISTENSEN ARMS
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .243 Winchester bolt-action rifle brings serious weight savings and precision engineering to a versatile mid-range hunting platform. Built around a stainless steel action finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote, this rifle leverages Christensen's expertise in carbon fiber construction to deliver a lightweight, durable option for hunters who demand accuracy without the pound-for-pound penalty. The .243 Winchester chambering makes it effective for varmint work, predator hunting, and medium-game applications where flat trajectory and minimal recoil are assets.
What sets the Ridgeline FFT apart is its commitment to do-it-right engineering. The barrel starts with 416R stainless steel, wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber and topped with a removable stainless steel side-baffle brake. The bore is hand-lapped and button-rifled, then free-floated in a carbon fiber stock—all contributing to the Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee that backs every Christensen Arms rifle. The action rides on a pair of stainless steel bedding pillars and spot-bedded support, creating a repeatable platform for handloaders and factory-ammo shooters alike.
The bolt and bottom metal are where FFT (Faster, Flatter, Further) technology shows its intent. A carbon fiber FFT bolt knob, FFT hinged floor plate, and billet aluminum bottom metal keep weight to a minimum without compromising rigidity. An enlarged ejection port and improved bolt release make feeding and unloading smooth. The Trigger Tech trigger provides clean, predictable breaks, and the internal magazine holds four rounds of .243 Winchester (three if you're running magnums). An SD 6-48 Rem 700 optics base is drilled and tapped, ready for your scope. The FFT carbon fiber stock in green with black and tan webbing delivers visual distinction and practical durability—backed by a recoil pad that softens the shot.
This is a rifle for hunters who value precision, weight consciousness, and honest craftsmanship. Whether you're glassing high country, setting up over a prairie dog town, or building a lightweight mountain rifle, the Ridgeline FFT in .243 Winchester is built to go the distance.
