The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT in 7mm Backcountry is purpose-built for serious hunters who won't compromise on accuracy or pack weight. This lightweight precision rifle combines cutting-edge carbon-fiber construction with a match-chambered, hand-lapped barrel to deliver the kind of consistency that matters when glassing high country or closing distance across open terrain. At 20 inches with a threaded muzzle, it's nimble enough for backcountry hunts yet rigid enough to keep groups tight at distance—a rare balance in a true mountain rifle.
The action is a Christensen Arms precision-machined receiver fitted with a TriggerTech trigger, spiral-fluted bolt, and enlarged ejection port for smooth, reliable cycling under field conditions. The 416R stainless barrel is wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber to shed weight without sacrificing rigidity; the removable side-baffle brake helps manage recoil in a package that still feels natural shouldered. A button-rifled, free-floating design ensures each round follows the same path, which is exactly what you need when your next opportunity might be your only one.
The FFT carbon-fiber stock features spot bedding and carbon-fiber bedding pillars to keep the action locked in consistently, while the gray-accented finish looks as good as it performs. The four-round internal magazine with aluminum hinged floor plate works as-is, and the action is set up for standard Remington 700 optics base compatibility. If you later want to run an AICS detachable magazine, an aftermarket conversion kit will accommodate that without swapping the rifle.
