The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 6.5×284 Norma (Christensen Arms part no. 801-06514-00) is an ultra-light carbon fiber bolt-action rifle with a 22-inch threaded barrel and a side-baffle brake, finished in Burnt Bronze and Barren Dune. Christensen Arms lists a starting weight of 5.4 pounds for the line, and the Flash Forged Technology carbon stock is the lightest the company has built. An Aerograde carbon-wrapped 416R stainless barrel, a precision-machined action and a TriggerTech trigger back a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee for the model. It is built for mountain hunters who carry the rifle all day and still want accuracy at altitude. This Christensen Arms rifle goes where a heavier gun stays home.
