Built for mountain hunters who count every ounce, the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 6.5 Creedmoor (brand part no. 801-06170-00) is a 20-inch left-hand bolt-action rifle. Its 416R stainless barrel is wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber and is button rifled, match chambered and free floated, with a 1:8 twist suited to 6.5 Creedmoor. 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.
