Description
Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .308 Win 20″ Threaded Rifle — a precision bolt-action built for the hunter who demands sub-MOA accuracy without packing a heavy rig up the mountain. This .308 pairs a 20-inch Christensen stainless barrel with an Aerograde carbon fiber wrap to keep weight down and rigidity up. Threaded muzzle with removable side-baffle brake and a fixed FFT carbon fiber stock make it ready for glass, brake, and the field right out of the box.

Key Features of the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .308
- Carbon Fiber Barrel Wrap — Why it matters: The Aerograde wrap shaves nearly a pound off a traditional steel barrel without sacrificing stiffness, so you can carry a lightweight rifle that holds zero shot after shot.
- TriggerTech Trigger — Why it matters: Factory-set at 2.5–3 lbs with zero creep, this trigger breaks clean every time. It helps you shoot tighter groups at distance, especially in cold conditions where heavy triggers cost you meat.
- Removeable Side-Baffle Brake — Why it matters: The stainless brake tames recoil on follow-up shots and is easy to remove if you prefer a suppressor. Threaded 5/8×24, standard for .308 cans.
- FFT Fixed Carbon Fiber Stock — Why it matters: The fixed sporter design with black/gray accents gives you a rigid, weatherproof platform with proper cheek weld. No flex, no slop — just consistent contact for every shot.
- Christensen Bedding System — Why it matters: Bedding the action into the stock ensures the barreled action sits solidly, reducing vibration and improving accuracy over factory drop-in stocks.
Who Is This Rifle For?
This Ridgeline FFT is for the hunter who hikes miles before first light and expects the same accuracy as a bench gun. It fits whitetail, mule deer, and elk hunters who want a .308 that carries easy but shoots hard. It’s also a fit for precision shooters who need a light rig for PRS or NRL Hunter matches.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 6.5 lbs; sub-MOA guarantee from Christensen; threaded barrel with brake; TriggerTech trigger is match-grade out of the box; carbon fiber stock won’t warp in wet weather.
- Cons: The fixed stock limits length-of-pull adjustment — tall shooters may need an aftermarket spacer. The carbon fiber barrel can heat up faster than steel during rapid fire strings at the range.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on this Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .308?
Per Christensen Arms specs, the 20″ barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 150 to 180 grains — ideal for .308 hunting loads and match ammo.
Does this rifle come with a scope base?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 short-action bases. You’ll need to add your own rings and optics.
Can I mount a suppressor on the threaded barrel?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and includes a removable brake. Direct-thread or QD mounts work once the brake is off.
What is the weight of the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT?
It weighs 6.5 pounds bare, per manufacturer specs. That’s light enough for all-day carry but still holds steady for offhand shots.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Christensen Arms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match ammo. With the TriggerTech trigger and bedded action, most shooters see 0.5–0.75 MOA groups at 100 yards.
