The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT (Christensen part no. 8010108500) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, built around a 22-inch, 416R stainless steel featherweight-contour barrel finished in Cerakote and backed by Christensen’s Sub-MOA Guarantee. A seamless, removable radial brake helps manage the recoil of this hard-hitting magnum cartridge, and the barrel is hand-lapped, button-rifled, and free-floated from a match chamber for repeatable accuracy. The FFT carbon fiber sporter-style stock, finished in a green, black, and tan color scheme, starts at just 5.5 pounds, making the rifle a strong choice for backcountry hunters facing long climbs. A TriggerTech trigger and a skeletonized bolt handle with an enlarged ejection port keep the action crisp and fast-cycling, and an internal 3-round magazine, reduced for the magnum case length, feeds through a hinged floorplate.
