CHRISTENSEN ARMS
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .243 Winchester with a 20-inch barrel is purpose-built for hunters who refuse to compromise between accuracy and weight. This is a true lightweight hunting rifle—engineered around carbon fiber construction and precision machining to deliver the ballistics you need without the pounds you don't. If you've ever hiked steep country or spent a full day afield and felt every ounce of your rifle, the Ridgeline FFT changes the equation.
The barrel is 416R stainless steel with an Aerograde carbon fiber wrap, button rifled and hand lapped for consistency shot to shot. A match chamber and free-floating barrel design ensure the accuracy expected from a Christensen Arms build. The muzzle features a removable stainless steel side baffle brake—effective recoil management without permanent commitment. Thread pitch is 5/8 x 24 (standard for this caliber), so suppressor options are readily available if you want to go that route.
The action is a Christensen Arms precision-machined receiver paired with a TriggerTech trigger, giving you a clean, tuned break out of the box. The Ridgeline FFT's carbon fiber stock uses spot bedding and carbon fiber pillars for a locked-in platform. An enlarged aluminum bolt knob, spiral-fluted bolt, and improved bolt release make field operation smooth and fast. The rifle ships with a 4-round internal magazine with aluminum hinged floor plate; it's also compatible with AICS detachable magazines (aftermarket conversion kit required). Standard Remington 700 optics bases work directly—no special mounts needed.
The .243 Winchester is a proven mid-range cartridge favored by hunters pursuing deer and similar game across varied terrain. Paired with Christensen Arms' lightweight architecture, it's a natural fit for backcountry and mountain hunting where every pound matters and precise shot placement is the goal.

This design philosophy makes it ideal for mountain and backcountry hunting where carrying lighter gear matters over long days afield.
Yes. The Ridgeline FFT uses a standard Remington 700 optics base, so any rings or mounts designed for that interface will work directly—no special adapters required.
The muzzle is threaded 5/8 x 24 (standard for .243 Winchester), which is the common suppressor thread pitch for this caliber. The factory muzzle brake is removable, so you have the option to install a suppressor in its place.
The Ridgeline FFT includes a 4-round internal magazine with an aluminum hinged floor plate. If you prefer detachable magazine compatibility, an AICS-compatible conversion kit is available as an aftermarket upgrade.
