The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT
For hunters who measure their success not only by filled tags but also by the miles of rugged country they have conquered, the right rifle is not just another piece of gear. It is a lifeline. The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT has quickly earned that place for serious backcountry hunters. It combines precision, lightweight design, and durability in a way that few rifles can match.
One Idaho elk and mule deer hunter summed it up perfectly:
“The Ridgeline FFT is my go-to rifle for backcountry hunts. I’ve now owned four Christensen rifles, and this one is the most balanced—ultra-lightweight, dead-on accurate, and built to take abuse. Every one of my Ridgelines shoots sub-MOA, and the carbon barrel keeps me agile when I’m covering miles of steep terrain. The stock design and trigger are just dialed in. When the shot counts, this rifle delivers. Period.”
Featherweight Strength with Carbon Fiber Technology
The “FFT” in Ridgeline FFT stands for Flash Forged Technology, a proprietary carbon-fiber construction process developed by Christensen Arms. This process allows the company to build stocks that are lighter than traditional designs while maintaining exceptional strength and rigidity. The result is a rifle that weighs significantly less than most competitors yet can withstand the abuse that comes with long days in steep, rocky, or heavily timbered country.
Hunters know that ounces add up to pounds, and pounds wear you down. By reducing unnecessary weight without giving up strength, the Ridgeline FFT helps hunters travel farther and faster. It keeps the focus on the pursuit, not the strain of hauling gear.
Precision You Can Count On
Lightweight only matters if the rifle will also perform when the shot finally presents itself. That is where Christensen Arms’ reputation for accuracy comes in. Each Ridgeline FFT is built with precision machining and hand-finished detailing, delivering sub-MOA performance right out of the box.
The rifle’s carbon-fiber wrapped barrel enhances consistency by reducing vibration and dissipating heat more effectively than standard barrels. Whether you are settling in for a single long-range shot or following up quickly in the field, the Ridgeline FFT is engineered to deliver repeatable results.
Designed for the Hunter
The Ridgeline FFT is more than a collection of technical features. It was designed around the needs of real hunters. The stock geometry, the crisp trigger, and the balance of the rifle all come together to create a platform that feels natural and confidence-inspiring.
In high-pressure situations, when an elk steps into a meadow or a mule deer pauses on a distant ridge, there is no room for hesitation. The rifle needs to feel like an extension of the hunter. With the Ridgeline FFT, every detail contributes to that seamless connection. From recoil management to overall ergonomics, it is built to keep you steady, comfortable, and ready to make the shot that matters.
Built to Endure
Backcountry hunting punishes both hunters and their gear. Rifles are dragged through brush, hauled up steep faces, and subjected to sudden changes in weather. The Ridgeline FFT was built with this reality in mind. Its carbon-fiber stock and barrel design are not only light but also highly resilient.
Every Ridgeline FFT is hand-finished by Christensen Arms craftsmen. That means each rifle is refined to the highest standard of reliability before it ever leaves the factory. Hunters can head into the field knowing their rifle will perform, no matter what conditions they face.
The Christensen Arms Difference
Christensen Arms has built its reputation on combining aerospace materials with traditional gunsmithing. The Ridgeline FFT is a showcase of that philosophy. It represents a balance of innovation, craftsmanship, and performance that few rifles in its class can achieve.
For hunters who refuse to accept limits, the Ridgeline FFT is more than a tool. It is a trusted partner on the mountain. It provides confidence through every mile of rough country and every split-second opportunity when the hunt comes together.
No limits. Just results.
