The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 6.5-284 Norma is the 22-inch version of the lightest hunting rifle Christensen Arms builds, finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote with Canyon Phantom (Christensen Arms part no. 801-06493-00). Its Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock and carbon-wrapped stainless barrel keep weight down for long climbs, while a 1:8 twist suits the 6.5-284 Norma chambering. The threaded muzzle comes capped with a removable side-baffle brake, and a TriggerTech trigger gives a clean break at the end of a stalk. It is a rifle for mountain hunters who want a guaranteed sub-MOA shooter that does not weigh them down.
