Description
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm PRC 24-inch is a purpose-built mountain rifle that shaves ounces without cutting corners on accuracy. This is the rifle you pack into the backcountry when every pound counts, but you refuse to compromise on reaching out past 600 yards. It pairs a carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel with Christensen’s Flash Forged Technology stock to deliver sub-MOA precision in a package that moves like a carbine. If you’re hunting elk in steep country or dialing in long-range steel, the Ridgeline FFT earns its spot in your safe.

Key Features
- Flash Forged Technology stock – WHY IT MATTERS: This carbon-fiber stock is molded under high pressure to create a rigid, lightweight chassis that won’t flex under recoil or temperature changes. It keeps your point of impact consistent from the first shot to the last.
- Carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The steel core provides accuracy and longevity, while the carbon wrap sheds heat fast and cuts weight by nearly a pound compared to a traditional steel barrel. You get match-grade precision without the pack weight.
- TriggerTech trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: This trigger breaks clean at a consistent pull weight with zero creep or overtravel. It’s adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds, letting you dial in the exact feel you want for long-range shots.
- Side-baffle muzzle brake – WHY IT MATTERS: The brake redirects gas to reduce felt recoil by up to 40%, keeping you on target for quick follow-ups. It’s threaded 5/8×24, so you can swap in a suppressor or other muzzle device without a gunsmith.
- Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee – WHY IT MATTERS: Christensen Arms backs this rifle to shoot three-shot groups under one inch at 100 yards with factory match ammo. That’s not a wish—it’s a promise printed on the test target that comes in the box.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles before daylight and expects to make a 400-yard shot on a mule deer at last light. It’s for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig that carries easy on the sling but shoots tight on the bench. If you’re chasing elk, sheep, or pronghorn in open country where wind calls the shots, the Ridgeline FFT is built for your kind of terrain.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Weighs just 6.5 pounds—easy to carry all day without fatigue.
- Pro: 7mm PRC offers flat trajectory and retained energy past 800 yards.
- Pro: Factory sub-MOA guarantee removes guesswork from your build.
- Con: The carbon-fiber stock has limited adjustability for comb height or length of pull, so shooters with longer arms or high-mounted optics may need an aftermarket cheek riser.
