Christensen Arms Mesa FFT .300 Win Mag 22-inch Threaded
About this product
The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT .300 Win Mag 22-inch Threaded is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built for the long haul—literally. At roughly 5.5 pounds, this is a rifle designed for hunters who measure their approach in miles, not yards. The Mesa FFT (Fiberglass/Forged/Tech) combines an ultralight contour stainless steel barrel with a removable radial muzzle brake, all riding on a Remington 700 footprint action. It comes with a TriggerTech match-grade trigger and an FFT carbon sporter-style stock in green with black and tan accents. Backed by Christensen Arms’ Sub-MOA Guarantee, it’s a serious tool for the backcountry.

Key Features
- Ultralight Contour Barrel — Why it matters: Sheds ounces without sacrificing accuracy, making long treks less punishing.
- Removable Radial Muzzle Brake — Why it matters: Tames the .300 Win Mag’s recoil for faster follow-up shots, yet can be removed for suppressed use.

- FFT Carbon Sporter Stock — Why it matters: Lightweight and rigid, with a textured grip for positive control in wet or gloved conditions.
- Sub-MOA Guarantee — Why it matters: Christensen Arms stands behind this rifle’s accuracy, giving you confidence in the field.
Who It’s For
The Mesa FFT is for the hunter who covers ground on foot—mountain goat hunters, elk stalkers, and those who pack into remote wilderness. It also appeals to collectors who appreciate modern carbon-fiber construction and the legacy of the Remington 700 platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Exceptionally light weight (sub-6 lbs), proven Remington 700 action compatibility, effective muzzle brake, and factory accuracy guarantee.
- Cons: The .300 Win Mag’s recoil, even with the brake, is still stout for smaller-framed shooters; the carbon stock may not appeal to traditionalists who prefer wood or synthetic stocks.
