The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT (brand part no. 8010107400) is a backcountry-ready bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, built around a Featherweight Contour stainless barrel and a carbon fiber stock that starts at just 5.5 pounds. Christensen designed the FFT line for hunters who carry a rifle for miles before ever pulling the trigger, pairing that light weight with a removable radial muzzle brake and a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. The Tungsten Cerakote finish over black-and-gray stock webbing keeps the rifle protected in rough country without adding bulk, making it a natural fit for backcountry sheep, mule deer, or elk hunts.
