Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm Backcountry Carbon Bolt-Action Rifle

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT chambered in 7mm Backcountry (Christensen Arms part no. 8010644500) pairs a modern, high-pressure cartridge built for flatter trajectories and stronger downrange energy than older 7mm rounds with the FFT line’s signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel. The 20-inch 416R stainless barrel, wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber, is button-rifled, hand-lapped, and free-floated, then cut at a 1-in-8 twist to stabilize long, heavy-for-caliber bullets. A threaded 5/8×24 muzzle ships with a removable stainless steel side-baffle brake installed, and a factory TriggerTech trigger delivers a crisp, consistent pull. The magnum-length internal magazine holds 3 rounds with an aluminum hinged floor plate, and the spiral-fluted bolt runs an enlarged aluminum knob for fast cycling. Finished in burnt bronze with a brown, green, and tan carbon fiber stock, this is a Christensen Arms built for hunters chasing genuine long-range performance without extra weight on the pack.
