The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .308 Winchester with a 20-inch barrel is a lightweight hunting rifle built for backcountry hunters who refuse to compromise on precision or pack weight. Christensen Arms engineered this rifle around their FFT (Faster, Flatter, Tighter) philosophy—combining a stainless steel 416R barrel wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber with a carbon fiber stock and precision Christensen Arms receiver to deliver genuine sub-5-pound capability in a serious hunting caliber. Whether you're glassing ridge country, hiking into remote drainage, or building a long-range rifle that won't punish your shoulders on the hike out, the Ridgeline FFT proves that lightweight and accurate don't have to be mutually exclusive.

The barrel itself is button-rifled, hand-lapped, and match-chambered with a free-floating design—the kind of manufacturing detail that separates rifles that merely look good from rifles that shoot. The barrel threads at 5/8x24 (standard .308 configuration), and the muzzle sports a removable stainless steel side-baffle brake, so you can tune recoil to your preference or run it suppressor-ready. Inside, you'll find a TriggerTech trigger married to an enlarged, spiral-fluted bolt with an improved bolt release and enlarged ejection port—functional upgrades that make the rifle faster to operate and more pleasant to shoot.

The stock is Christensen Arms' proprietary FFT carbon fiber design with carbon fiber bedding pillars, a sporter profile, and a recoil pad for real-world comfort. The rifle ships with an internal magazine (4-round capacity; 3 for magnums) featuring an aluminum hinged floor plate, and it's compatible with AICS detachable magazine systems via an aftermarket conversion kit if you want that flexibility. Optics mounting is straightforward—it accepts standard Remington 700 scope base systems, so you can slap on whatever glass suits your hunt without proprietary headaches. This is a rifle you'll actually carry, and that's the whole point.
