The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .243 Win is an ultralight mountain hunting rifle with a 20-inch threaded barrel and a removable side-baffle brake, finished in natural carbon with gray accents (Christensen Arms part no. 8010612900). The barrel is 416R stainless steel under an aerograde carbon fiber wrap, button rifled, match chambered and free floating, and a TriggerTech trigger handles the break. The Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber sporter stock uses carbon fiber bedding pillars, spot bedding and a recoil pad to keep the weight down without giving up rigidity. It is aimed at hunters who carry a rifle for miles before they shoot it.
