Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 6.5-284 Norma Bolt-Action Rifle - Green (8010613600)

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 6.5-284 Norma bolt-action rifle brings purpose-built precision to long-range hunting without the weight penalty that usually comes with premium accuracy. Built on a modern 6.5-284 platform and engineered with carbon fiber construction throughout, this rifle sheds unnecessary ounces while keeping the sub-MOA accuracy promise Christensen is known for. The green stock with black and tan webbing gives it a distinct field-ready look, and the FFT (Flat-Fore-Traction) carbon fiber design means you're carrying a rifle that performs at distance without dragging through the field.

The barrel is where this rifle earns its reputation: a 416R stainless steel core wrapped in Christensen's Aerograde carbon fiber, hand-lapped and button-rifled with a match chamber for consistency. That same attention to detail extends to the action—a billet aluminum bottom metal with an FFT hinged floor plate and improved bolt release for smoother operation in the field. The side-baffle brake (removable) manages recoil effectively, and the Trigger Tech trigger breaks cleanly and predictably. All of it rides on natural stainless action paired with that distinctive green composite stock, bedded with stainless steel pillars for rock-solid lock-up.

This is a thinking hunter's rifle: built for backcountry glassing and mountain work where every pound matters, yet engineered to deliver consistent accuracy at distance. The 4-round internal magazine (3 with magnum cartridges) keeps the profile compact, and the standard 6-48 Rem 700 optics base means scope integration is straightforward. Whether you're setting up for elk season or dialing in a long-range precision load, the Ridgeline FFT rewards the time you invest in understanding its capabilities.
