The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in .22 Creedmoor is a lightweight right-hand bolt-action rifle that combines a stainless barrel with the company’s Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock (Christensen Arms part no. 8010138900). Christensen fits a 20-inch 416R stainless steel barrel in a featherlight contour with a fast 1:7 twist, which suits the heavy, long-for-caliber bullets that .22 Creedmoor loads favor. The barrel is button rifled, match chambered and free floated, then threaded for a suppressor or the removable radial brake it carries. A spot-bedded action, skeletonized bolt handle and TriggerTech trigger complete the rifle. It is built for the hunter or long-range shooter who wants a flat-shooting .22-caliber rifle that is easy to carry a long way.

Key Specifications
