Overview
The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in 6.5 PRC represents a calculated integration of advanced materials and precision engineering, designed for the discerning shooter who prioritizes reduced weight without compromising accuracy or performance. This rifle leverages Flash Forged Technology (FFT) to deliver a lightweight platform, ideal for extended field carry or competitive environments where every ounce matters. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, it provides a flat-shooting, high-energy cartridge well-suited for long-range engagements and demanding hunting scenarios.
Key Features
Flash Forged Technology (FFT) Integration
The Mesa FFT utilizes Christensen Arms’ proprietary Flash Forged Technology in both the carbon fiber barrel and stock. This process results in a significant reduction in overall rifle weight compared to traditional steel and synthetic constructions, mitigating shooter fatigue during transport and sustained handling. The carbon fiber barrel features a 416R stainless steel core, providing exceptional rigidity and heat dissipation characteristics crucial for consistent precision.
Precision 6.5 PRC Chambering
Chambered in 6.5 PRC, this rifle capitalizes on the cartridge’s inherent ballistic advantages. The 6.5 PRC is recognized for its high velocity, flat trajectory, and excellent energy retention at extended ranges, facilitating accurate projectile placement. This chambering is a strategic choice for applications requiring predictable performance across varying environmental conditions.
Optimized Ergonomics and Handling
The FFT carbon fiber stock is engineered for practical field utility, offering a comfortable and stable shooting platform. Its design contributes to effective recoil absorption and allows for natural point-of-aim acquisition. The rifle’s reduced mass enhances maneuverability and allows for rapid target transitions.
Advanced Trigger System
Equipped with a match-grade, adjustable trigger, the Mesa FFT facilitates a crisp, consistent break. This critical interface between the shooter and the rifle ensures precise shot execution, minimizing user-induced input errors and optimizing overall accuracy potential.
Robust Action and Bolt Design
The precision-machined stainless steel action is paired with a spiral-fluted bolt, reducing friction and enhancing cycling smoothness. An enlarged bolt knob provides positive manipulation, even under adverse conditions or while wearing gloves. The action is topped with an integral Picatinny rail, allowing for secure and repeatable optics mounting.
Guaranteed Performance
The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT is backed by the manufacturer’s Sub-MOA guarantee, affirming its capacity for exceptional accuracy with quality ammunition.
