The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .308 Winchester is engineered for the discerning hunter and precision shooter who requires minimized weight without compromising accuracy or structural integrity. This rifle leverages Christensen Arms’ Flash Forged Technology (FFT) to deliver a high-performance platform optimized for rapid deployment and sustained field utility.
Key Features
FFT Stock Construction
The Ridgeline FFT stock utilizes Christensen Arms’ proprietary Flash Forged Technology, a process that yields an exceptionally lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber composite stock. This advanced construction significantly reduces the rifle’s overall weight, enhancing maneuverability and reducing fatigue during extended carry, while providing a stable shooting platform.
Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel
The 20-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel is a core component of the Ridgeline FFT’s precision system. This design maintains critical stiffness and mitigates barrel harmonics, contributing to consistent shot placement. The carbon fiber outer layer facilitates efficient heat dissipation, minimizing point-of-impact shift during successive engagements. The barrel is threaded for a muzzle device.
Precision Machined Action
The rifle is built around a precision-machined 416R stainless steel Ridgeline FFT action, featuring an enlarged ejection port for reliable cycling and an internal magazine. The nitride-treated bolt is spiral-fluted, reducing mass and ensuring smooth, consistent operation. The system is designed for direct optic mounting, accommodating standard scope bases.
Trigger System
An adjustable match-grade trigger unit provides a crisp, predictable break, allowing for precise shot execution. This user-adjustable system enables optimization to individual shooter preference, directly influencing accuracy potential.
Muzzle Device
The 20-inch barrel features a threaded muzzle (5/8×24) and is equipped with a Christensen Arms Stainless Steel Radial Muzzle Brake. This integrated component effectively mitigates recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing follow-up shot capability and maintaining target acquisition.
Accuracy Performance
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT is backed by the manufacturer’s 0.5 MOA accuracy guarantee. This commitment to precision reflects the rifle’s rigorous engineering and manufacturing tolerances, ensuring repeatable performance with quality match-grade ammunition.
