Christensen Arms builds the Ridgeline FFT .308 Winchester (brand part no. 8010619802) as a 16-inch carbon fiber bolt-action rifle, finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote with Carbon and Green and Tan Accents; the full Christensen Arms range has the rest of the line. Its 416R stainless barrel is wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber and is button rifled, match chambered and free floated, with a 1:10 twist suited to .308 Winchester. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and comes capped with a removable stainless-steel side-baffle brake for recoil control. A Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock, a TriggerTech trigger and an action on the Remington 700 footprint round out a rifle with a starting weight of 5.4 pounds.
