Christensen Arms Ridgeline Fft Barren Dune 28Nos 22
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in .28 Nosler is a lightweight precision rifle built for hunters who won't compromise on accuracy for the sake of weight savings. Chambered in the hard-hitting .28 Nosler and topped with a 22-inch barrel, this rifle delivers the velocity and flat trajectory long-range hunters demand, all while keeping ounces to a minimum. The FFT designation—Feather Force Technology—isn't marketing fluff; it's a methodical engineering approach to shaving weight without sacrificing rigidity or precision.
At the heart of this rifle is a Christensen Arms precision-machined receiver paired with a hand-lapped, match-chambered, free-floating 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber. The barrel is threaded at 1/2×28 (.22-250 standard, though 5/8×24 is also available) and mounts a removable stainless steel side baffle brake that tames recoil in a caliber known for substantial kick. The button-rifled barrel is where the real accuracy lives—this is match-grade precision that shows on paper and in the field.
The action itself features a spiral-fluted bolt with an enlarged knob for quick manipulation in gloved conditions, an improved bolt release, and an enlarged ejection port. TriggerTech handling comes standard, and the receiver accepts standard Rem 700 optics bases. The stock is Christensen's own FFT carbon fiber design with a sporter profile, carbon fiber bedding pillars, and a recoil pad. Internally, a 4-round magazine (3 rounds when loaded with magnum-length ammo) feeds via an aluminum hinged floor plate; the receiver is also compatible with AICS detachable magazines via an aftermarket conversion kit if you want more modularity.
This is a rifle for the backcountry hunter who's willing to invest in top-shelf components and can appreciate the details—button rifling, hand lapping, spot bedding, carbon fiber construction throughout. If you're covering country looking for deer or elk and every pound matters, the Ridgeline FFT is engineered for exactly that mission.
