Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 7mm Remington Magnum Green

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in 7mm Remington Magnum is purpose-built for hunters who refuse to compromise between power and portability. This rifle strips away unnecessary weight without sacrificing the hard-hitting performance that makes the 7mm Rem Mag a favorite for elk, mule deer, and long-range mountain hunting. Starting at just 5.5 pounds, the Mesa FFT's lightweight design makes multi-mile backcountry hunts genuinely sustainable—your legs will thank you on the way out with a pack full of meat.

The heart of this rifle is a 416R stainless steel barrel in Christensen's featherweight contour, hand-lapped for accuracy and fitted with a seamless, removable radial muzzle brake. The match chamber and button rifling combine with a free-floating barrel to deliver sub-MOA accuracy every time—backed by the Christensen Arms Sub-MOA Guarantee. A Cerakote finish in burnt bronze on the action and tungsten or burnt bronze on the barrel protects against the abuse of high-altitude, high-weather hunts. The removable brake threads in 1/2-28 or 5/8x24, giving you flexibility to configure for your suppressors or local regulations.

The Mesa FFT action is based on the STD Rem 700 platform, familiar to anyone who's shot a modern bolt gun and fully compatible with aftermarket optics bases. You get a skeletonized bolt handle for lighter weight and faster manipulation, enlarged ejection port, TriggerTech trigger, billet aluminum bottom metal with a hinged floor plate, and a 4-round internal magazine (3 rounds for magnum loads). The carbon-fiber FFT sporter-style stock incorporates stainless steel bedding pillars and spot bedding for consistency, plus a recoil pad to manage the 7mm Magnum's authority. The green finish with black and tan accents is as rugged-looking as the rifle performs.

If you're serious about backcountry elk or long-range mountain hunts and tired of hauling heavy rifles, the Mesa FFT delivers proven accuracy, genuine weight savings, and the reliability you need when you're miles from help.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Mesa FFT uses a standard STD Rem 700 optics base, so it's compatible with any scope base designed for that platform. You'll need standard Rem 700-compatible rings to mount your scope.

Is this rifle good for elk hunting at distance?

Yes. The 7mm Remington Magnum is a proven long-range elk cartridge, and the Mesa FFT's sub-MOA accuracy, featherweight barrel, and match chamber are all engineered for consistent performance on distant game. Its lightweight design also makes backcountry elk hunts where distance matters genuinely manageable.

Can I use a suppressor or different muzzle brake on this rifle?

The removable muzzle brake threads in either 1/2-28 or 5/8x24, depending on your configuration. This threading allows you to swap in a suppressor, different brake, or remove the brake altogether if local regulations permit.

What magazine capacity does the Mesa FFT have?

The internal magazine holds 4 rounds in standard calibers, or 3 rounds when loaded with 7mm Remington Magnum ammunition.

Why is the Mesa FFT so light compared to other hunting rifles?
