The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT chambered in .243 Winchester (Christensen Arms part no. 8010618700) pairs a light-recoiling, versatile hunting cartridge with the FFT line’s signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel construction. 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-10 twist to stabilize standard .243 bullet weights. A removable stainless steel side-baffle brake helps tame recoil, and a factory TriggerTech trigger delivers a crisp, consistent pull. The internal magazine holds 4+1 rounds behind an FFT hinged floor plate with billet aluminum bottom metal, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts with no iron sights installed. Finished in burnt bronze Cerakote with a green stock accented in black and tan webbing, this Christensen Arms is backed by the company’s Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
