Christensen Arms Mesa FFT Ti .28 Nosler 22″ LH Rifle

Description

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT Ti .28 Nosler 22″ LH Rifle is a precision tool built for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy in a sub-6-pound package. Chambered in the hard-hitting .28 Nosler, this left-hand bolt gun combines a carbon-fiber wrapped barrel with a titanium action to deliver flat trajectories and minimal recoil — ideal for long-range hunting or PRS-style competition. With a 22″ barrel and 5.5-lb weight, it’s a rig you can carry all day and shoot tight groups at distance.

Key Features

• Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee — Christensen Arms test-fires every Mesa FFT Ti and guarantees it shoots under one MOA. That means you can trust this rifle to hold a 1″ group at 100 yards right out of the box.
• Carbon Fiber FFT Stock — The Full Fit Technology stock uses a carbon-fiber composite shell over a rigid foam core. It’s lightweight (saves nearly a pound over aluminum stocks) and doesn’t flex under torque, so your bedding stays consistent.
• 22″ Fluted Barrel with Radial Brake — The 416R stainless steel barrel is hand-lapped and fluted to reduce weight and dissipate heat. The integral radial muzzle brake cuts recoil by 30% — critical for staying on target during rapid follow-ups.
• Titanium Action with 60° Bolt Lift — The action is machined from 6Al-4V titanium, dropping weight without sacrificing strength. The 60° bolt lift gives you faster cycling and clearance for low-mounted scopes.
• TriggerTech Trigger — Factory-installed TriggerTech Frictionless Release trigger breaks clean at 2.5–3.5 lbs with zero creep. No aftermarket trigger swap needed — it’s competition-ready from the factory.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the left-handed shooter who refuses to compromise on accuracy or weight. If you’re running PRS matches, chasing mule deer in the backcountry, or punching steel at 800+ yards, the Mesa FFT Ti delivers the ballistics of the .28 Nosler — 175-grain ELD-X at 2,960 fps — in a package that’s easy to pack. It’s also a solid choice for the hunter who wants one rifle for both western elk and long-range target work.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-6-pound weight with a 22″ barrel — rare in a magnum chambering. You can carry it all day and still shoot tight groups.
• Pro: The TriggerTech trigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market. No creep, crisp break.
• Pro: .28 Nosler gives you .300 Win Mag energy in a shorter action — better bolt throw and lighter rifle.
• Con: Ammo availability and cost. .28 Nosler is not as common as .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, and premium hunting/match loads run $3–$5 per round. You’ll want to reload to keep it affordable.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Arms Mesa FFT Ti .28 Nosler?

The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 160–195 grain bullets. This twist stabilizes heavy-for-caliber projectiles like the 175-grain ELD-X or 195-grain Berger VLD for long-range accuracy.

Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?

No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail (standard Remington 700 footprint). You’ll need to purchase a rail and rings separately. I recommend a 20 MOA rail for dialing elevation at distance.

Is the .28 Nosler suitable for hunting elk or moose?

Yes. The .28 Nosler pushes a 175-grain bullet at 2,960 fps with 3,400 ft-lbs of energy — comparable to .300 Win Mag. It’s proven on elk, moose, and bear at ranges out to 500 yards. Just make sure you use a bonded or monolithic bullet for deep penetration.

Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?

Absolutely. The 22″ barrel, sub-MOA guarantee, and TriggerTech trigger make it competitive in the Open division. The only trade-off is the 3+1 magazine capacity — you’ll need to reload more often than with a detachable box magazine rifle.

Is the left-hand action available in other calibers?

Christensen Arms offers the Mesa FFT Ti in left-hand in .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 PRC, and .28 Nosler. The .28 Nosler is the most popular for long-range hunting due to its flat trajectory and retained energy.

According to Christensen Arms specs, the Mesa FFT Ti is test-fired at their Gunnison, Utah facility and guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA. Over 30% of precision shooters now run carbon-fiber barreled rifles for the weight savings without sacrificing accuracy — and this rifle is a strong contender in that segment.
