The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT Buckmasters is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Win Mag with a 22-inch stainless steel barrel finished in black cerakote. The barrel is hand-lapped, free-floating, and threaded for a suppressor or muzzle brake, and it ships with a radial muzzle brake installed. Its FFT carbon fiber stock trims weight from the standard stainless platform while keeping the action spot-bedded for accuracy.

Owners of the Christensen Arms Mesa FFT line consistently point to the weight savings from the carbon fiber stock as the rifle's biggest selling point over the standard stainless Mesa. Build quality gets strong marks, and the spot-bedded action along with the free-floating barrel are cited as reasons the rifle shoots consistently off a stainless steel base.

Ergonomically, the skeletonized bolt handle and threaded barrel are popular for owners who want to mount a suppressor without sending the rifle out for gunsmithing. Some shooters comment that the Buckmasters color scheme is more distinctive than Christensen's standard finishes, which they either like or would have preferred to skip.

On value, buyers generally accept the premium price of a Christensen Arms rifle for the weight reduction and factory-threaded barrel, though a handful wish the Buckmasters edition included more differentiation beyond the stock finish.
