The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 PRC with a 22-inch barrel. The "FFT" designation refers to Flash Forged Technology — the stock is a fixed sporter design using this construction method, which keeps the rifle at 5.30 lbs despite the aluminum receiver and carbon fiber-wrapped 416 stainless barrel. It's a genuinely light hunting rifle for a .300 PRC, and that's the core selling point.

Detailed Features 

 
The barrel wraps Aerograde carbon fiber around a stainless steel core — this is how Christensen hits 5.30 lbs in .300 PRC without sacrificing barrel stiffness. The barrel is hand-lapped and button-rifled with a 1:8 twist suited to the heavier .300 PRC projectiles common in long-range hunting loads. 
 
The TriggerTech trigger has a reputation for a clean, consistent break with minimal creep — important at extended ranges where trigger control matters more. Stainless steel bedding pillars are built into the stock to maintain receiver-to-stock alignment through temperature and humidity changes in the field. 
 
The integrated baffle brake is effective at .300 PRC recoil levels, though it adds muzzle blast compared to a bare thread. The two-position safety is straightforward: safe with bolt locked, safe with bolt operable for unloading. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

1. Big Game Hunting: .300 PRC is well-suited for elk and larger game at distance. The 5.30-lb weight matters when packing in several miles. 
2. Long-Range Shooting: The 1:8 twist and carbon fiber barrel combination performs well with heavier projectiles at extended ranges. 

The Ridgeline FFT in .300 PRC generates strong interest among hunters who prioritize weight without sacrificing caliber. The 5.30-lb figure comes up constantly — it's unusual to find a .300 PRC rifle this light, and owners who've packed it on long hunts consistently mention it as the standout attribute.

Accuracy gets solid marks. Most owners report sub-MOA performance with quality factory loads, and the TriggerTech trigger is frequently cited as a meaningful upgrade over what you'd find on similarly priced rifles.

Recoil management gets positive comments too — the baffle brake does its job at .300 PRC levels, though a few owners note the associated muzzle blast is noticeable when shooting without ear protection outdoors.

The main complaints center on price: the Ridgeline FFT sits at the higher end of hunting rifle pricing, and some buyers debate whether the carbon fiber construction justifies the premium over a comparable all-steel option. A smaller number of owners mention that aftermarket accessory options are more limited than for more common platforms. Initial scope mounting sometimes comes up as needing extra care given the aluminum receiver — standard Picatinny rings and proper torque specs are recommended.
