The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Rifle in .243 Winchester (Christensen Arms part no. 801-06512-00) chambers one of the most popular mild-recoiling deer cartridges in a lightweight, flat-fast-and-true bolt-action build. This RL FFT runs a 20-inch barrel with a 1-in-10 twist rate matched to .243 Winchester bullet weights, and Christensen Arms’ signature carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel keeps the rifle notably lighter than a traditional steel-barreled deer rifle. With a 4-round magazine, it’s an excellent choice for hunters who want low recoil, genuine accuracy, and easy all-day carry in the field.
