The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch stainless steel barrel wrapped in carbon fiber. The FFT carbon fiber stock is finished in the Barren Dune pattern, and the rifle feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floor plate that holds 4 rounds. It is built on Christensen Arms' precision machined receiver with a TriggerTech trigger.

The Ridgeline FFT has a strong reputation for accuracy out of the box, and Christensen Arms' carbon fiber barrels are generally well regarded for holding zero across temperature swings. A subset of owners report working with a gunsmith or the factory to dial in the TriggerTech trigger to taste, but few complaints target the action itself.

Weight is the whole draw of the FFT stock, and hunters carrying it up steep terrain notice the difference immediately. The tradeoff some mention is that a very light rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor kicks a bit sharper than a heavier gun, though it is rarely called unpleasant.

Christensen Arms rifles carry a higher price than most factory bolt guns, and buyers judge that against the carbon fiber construction and included features like the spiral fluted bolt. The internal magazine with hinged floor plate is simple and reliable, and the option to add a detachable magazine later gives some flexibility for owners who want it.
