Christensen Arms Mesa FFT .308 Win Bolt-Action Rifle - Black (8010111700)

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT is a .308 Win bolt-action rifle built for hunters who measure success not in comfort but in summit-to-summit capability. If you're the type who counts vertical feet as much as horizontal distance, this featherweight platform cuts the burden without cutting corners on reliability. The Mesa FFT starts at just 5.5 pounds—a serious advantage on long backcountry approaches where every ounce matters and your legs will thank you for the restraint.

The barrel is where Christensen's obsession with weight savings shows real engineering chops. A 416R stainless steel barrel in featherweight contour gets hand-lapped and button-rifled, then dressed in durable Cerakote (your choice of tungsten or burnt bronze). The seamless radial muzzle brake threads at either 1/2×28 or 5/8×24 and is fully removable—a practical touch for hunters who don't want permanent brake signature. All that steel sits on a match-chambered, free-floating platform backed by Christensen's Sub-MOA Guarantee, so you're not sacrificing accuracy for portability.

The action runs a skeletonized bolt handle and Trigger Tech trigger on a billet aluminum bottom metal with a 4-round internal magazine (3 for magnums). Rem 700 optics base compatibility means your glass mounts with zero hassle. The carbon fiber FFT stock pairs stainless steel bedding pillars and spot bedding with a sporter profile and recoil pad—engineered to actually stay put during the hunt, not just look the part. You get an enlarged ejection port and improved bolt release that make field operation smoother than stock Remington spec.

For the hunter who refuses to choose between a rifle that reaches out and a pack that doesn't weigh you down, the Mesa FFT is the answer. It's equally at home in long-range precision work or slung over your shoulder climbing toward elk country.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scope mount base does the Mesa FFT use?

The Mesa FFT is compatible with standard Rem 700 optics bases, so you can mount the vast majority of modern rifle scopes and optic systems without any special adapters or gunsmithing.

Can I remove the muzzle brake?

Yes. The brake is fully removable and threaded at either 1/2×28 or 5/8×24 (confirm which when ordering). You can run it with the brake on or take it off depending on your hunting situation or suppressor plans.

What's the magazine capacity?

The .308 Win version holds 4 rounds in the internal magazine. If you go with a magnum caliber, capacity drops to 3 rounds due to longer cartridge length.

Is the barrel really free-floating and hand-lapped?

Yes on both counts. The 416R barrel is hand-lapped and button-rifled, with a match chamber and free-floating design to support Christensen's Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
