Overview and Engineering
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm PRC rifle is precision-engineered to excel in demanding field conditions, delivering consistent accuracy and mitigated fatigue for the operator. This bolt-action rifle incorporates Flash Forged Technology (FFT) into key components, specifically the stock, floor plate, and bolt knob. This integration significantly reduces the rifle’s overall weight, offering a reduction of up to one pound compared to prior Ridgeline iterations. This lighter profile is critical for extended carry during hunting expeditions or competitive shooting events, optimizing endurance and handling.
Key Features
Flash Forged Technology (FFT) Implementation
The utilization of Flash Forged Technology across the stock, floor plate, and bolt knob is central to the Ridgeline FFT’s design philosophy. This advanced manufacturing process allows for substantial weight reduction without compromising structural integrity or recoil absorption. The resulting lightweight platform enhances maneuverability and reduces user fatigue during prolonged engagements or extended periods of carry.
Barrel Configuration
The rifle features a 22-inch carbon fiber barrel, a design choice that maintains rigidity while efficiently dissipating heat during sustained firing sequences. This thermal management capability contributes directly to consistent shot placement. The barrel is threaded, providing a secure interface for compatible muzzle devices or suppressors, thereby enhancing the rifle’s versatility as a high-performance precision system.
Receiver and Stock System
A robust stainless aluminum receiver provides a stable and consistent foundation for reliable cycling and repeatable accuracy. The FFT Fixed Sporter Stock, also constructed with Flash Forged Technology, further contributes to the rifle’s reduced weight. Its ergonomic design, finished in black with gray accents, promotes comfortable handling, consistent sight alignment, and provides a stable platform across various shooting positions.
Recoil Management
Integrated with a side-baffle brake, the Ridgeline FFT effectively mitigates recoil impulse. This design feature allows for enhanced shooter comfort and facilitates quicker target reacquisition for subsequent shots, optimizing performance in dynamic shooting scenarios.
Performance Guarantee
This rifle’s design supports a Sub-MOA Guarantee, a guarantee of performance backed by the manufacturer’s warranty, demonstrating its capability for consistent accuracy with appropriate hunting ammunition. The Ridgeline FFT functions effectively as high-performance precision shooting range equipment or a dependable companion for demanding hunts requiring a lightweight, accurate firearm. Users can further enhance its utility with various firearm accessories, such as a quality optical system or a bipod, to optimize performance across diverse operational requirements.
