This Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT rifle is built around a bolt-action platform chambered in 25 Creedmoor. Its 20-inch barrel is carbon fiber-wrapped and threaded, mated to a stainless receiver that is drilled and tapped for optics. The stock is carbon fiber with gray accents, and the whole rifle weighs around 5.4 pounds.

Owners of the Ridgeline FFT tend to focus on how little it weighs once it is slung for a real hike. The carbon fiber barrel and stock cut enough bulk that the rifle carries all day without wearing on the shoulder, and most reports describe the stainless action as holding up fine under weather and repeated use in the field.

The thin profile takes some getting used to on the bench. A few owners mention that the lighter barrel contour shows more felt recoil than a heavier hunting rifle, and the side-baffle brake helps but does not erase it entirely. Trigger feel from the TriggerTech unit is a consistent point of praise, and the bolt runs smoothly once broken in.

Value opinions split along the usual carbon fiber line: buyers who want the weight savings for backcountry hunting see it as worth the premium, while others note that a steel-barreled bolt gun in the same chambering costs less. Aftermarket support for stock and optics mounting on the Remington 700 footprint is straightforward, which owners appreciate when adding glass or a different brake.
