The CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA FFT 6.5PRC Bolt Action Rifle represents a calculated optimization of lightweight design with uncompromising precision. Engineered for discerning hunters and field shooters, the Mesa FFT integrates advanced materials and meticulous manufacturing processes to deliver a highly portable platform capable of consistent, repeatable performance in diverse environments.
Key Features
FFT Carbon Fiber Stock System
The Mesa FFT utilizes Christensen Arms’ proprietary Flash Forged Technology (FFT) for its carbon fiber composite stock. This advanced manufacturing process significantly reduces stock weight while maintaining exceptional structural rigidity. The result is a highly durable and ergonomic platform that mitigates fatigue during extended field carry.
Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel
Featuring a 20-inch 416R stainless steel barrel core, precision-machined and then meticulously wrapped with aerospace-grade carbon fiber. This construction provides a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio, enhances heat dissipation, and contributes to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for suppressor or muzzle device integration.
Precision Machined Action
At its core, the Mesa FFT utilizes a Christensen Arms precision-machined stainless steel receiver, built on a Remington 700 footprint for broad aftermarket component compatibility. The nitride-finished bolt incorporates fluting, an M16-style extractor, and dual ejectors for reliable cycling. An integrated recoil lug ensures consistent action-to-stock interface, a critical factor for repeatable precision.
TriggerTech® Performance Trigger
Equipped with a TriggerTech® Flat-Shoe Trigger, providing a crisp, zero-creep break. This adjustable single-stage trigger system enhances shooter control, facilitating precise shot placement.
Optimized Ergonomics and Finish
The rifle incorporates a Limbsaver® recoil pad to mitigate felt recoil, improving shooter comfort and follow-through. The bronze Cerakote finish on the action and barrel provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a durable, non-reflective surface suitable for field use.
Precision Performance Guarantee
Each Christensen Arms Mesa FFT is engineered for demanding accuracy. This rifle is backed by the manufacturer’s sub-MOA precision guarantee at 100 yards, contingent on the use of match-grade ammunition and proper shooting technique.
