The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 7mm Backcountry (brand part no. 801-06444-00) is a 20-inch bolt-action rifle built around the lightest stock Christensen Arms has ever produced. This version is chambered in 7mm Backcountry and is finished in carbon with gray accents. The Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock pairs with a stainless barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber, and the threaded muzzle comes capped with a removable side-baffle brake for recoil control. A TriggerTech trigger and a precision-machined receiver round out a rifle meant to be carried all day in rough country.
