Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Sheds over a pound compared to a steel barrel of the same contour, so you can hike farther without fatigue.
- FFT (Faster, Further, Truer) Action — WHY IT MATTERS: The spiral-fluted bolt and lightweight titanium construction cycle smoothly and reduce lock time for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy.
- 22" Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) — WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake quickly; the 22" length balances well for carry and still gives full velocity from the 7mm PRC.
- TriggerTech Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Factory-set at 2.5 lbs with zero creep, so you get a clean break every time without needing a gunsmith.
- Burnt Bronze Canyon Phantom Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The Cerakote coating resists rust and scratches, and the unique color blends into western terrain.
Who It's For
This rifle is for the hunter who counts every ounce but won't compromise on accuracy. If you pack into the backcountry for elk, mule deer, or sheep, the Ridgeline FFT is built for you. It also fits the shooter who wants a modern long-range cartridge (7mm PRC) in a lightweight platform without custom-building. Newer shooters will appreciate the adjustable trigger and threaded barrel for adding a brake to reduce recoil.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Sub-5.5-pound weight, sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory, threaded barrel, TriggerTech trigger, corrosion-resistant finish.
Cons: The carbon fiber barrel can heat up faster during rapid strings of fire — not an issue for hunting, but something to note if you plan to shoot groups back-to-back at the range. Also, the 7mm PRC ammo is still less common than 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 Win, so plan ahead for ammo availability.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm PRC?
The factory twist rate is 1:8", which stabilizes the long, heavy bullets that the 7mm PRC cartridge was designed for — like the 175-grain ELD-X and 180-grain Berger VLD.
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
It comes with a factory-installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail, so you can mount your own scope rings or a one-piece mount. No rings are included.
Can I use this rifle for hunting in wet or snowy conditions?
Yes. The Burnt Bronze Canyon Phantom Cerakote finish protects the metal from moisture and corrosion. The carbon fiber barrel won't rust. Just wipe it down after a wet day in the field.
What does "3rd magazine" mean in the product name?
It means the rifle ships with a 3-round detachable box magazine — standard for the Ridgeline FFT in the 7mm PRC chambering. It allows for quick reloads and safe unloading.
Is this rifle legal to order in all 50 states?
