The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT (Christensen part no. 8010108300) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, built around a 20-inch, 416R stainless steel featherweight-contour barrel finished in Cerakote and backed by Christensen’s Sub-MOA Guarantee. A seamless, removable radial brake tames recoil, 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 4-round magazine feeds through a hinged floorplate.
