Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .300 Win Mag 22″ Burnt Bronze

Description

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .300 Win Mag 22″ Burnt Bronze is a sub-6.5-pound bolt action rifle built for backcountry hunters and serious shooters who demand precision without the weight penalty. By pairing a 22-inch carbon-wrapped 416R stainless steel barrel with a removable side-baffle brake and a Burnt Bronze Cerakote action, this rifle delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy in a packable platform. The FFT carbon fiber sporter stock, finished in green with black and tan accents, uses stainless steel bedding pillars for a rigid, weather-resistant foundation that holds zero through rough terrain and changing conditions.

Key Features

• Carbon-Wrapped 416R Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The carbon fiber wrap reduces barrel weight by nearly 40% compared to a standard steel contour of the same length, letting you carry this .300 Win Mag all day without fatigue while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent sub-MOA groups.
• Removable Side-Baffle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: This brake cuts felt recoil by an estimated 30%, allowing faster follow-up shots on game or steel, and the side-baffle design vents gas upward and to the sides—keeping the muzzle down and your sight picture stable.
• Burnt Bronze Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The Cerakote finish protects the action and barrel from corrosion, scratches, and harsh weather, so you can hunt in rain, snow, or salt spray without worrying about rust or finish degradation.
• FFT Carbon Fiber Sporter Stock with Bedding Pillars — WHY IT MATTERS: The FFT (Full Fit Technology) stock uses a CNC-machined bedding system with stainless steel pillars that lock the action into a repeatable position, eliminating accuracy-robbing flex and keeping your zero consistent from the bench to the backcountry.
• Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24) — WHY IT MATTERS: The threaded barrel accepts standard .30-caliber suppressors or muzzle devices, so you can run a can for hearing safety without needing a gunsmith or adapter.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles into elk or mule deer country and refuses to compromise on accuracy when they get there. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig for steel matches or long-range practice without the bulk of a heavy tactical chassis. If you carry a rifle all day and shoot it at dawn or dusk, the Ridgeline FFT in .300 Win Mag gives you the reach and terminal performance to take game cleanly at extended ranges.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Sub-6-pound weight makes it one of the lightest production .300 Win Mags available; removable brake works well for recoil management; carbon barrel stays cool longer between strings; Cerakote finish is tough and low-glare; factory trigger breaks clean at around 3.5 lbs out of the box.
• Cons: The carbon fiber stock can feel slick in wet hands without textured grip panels; factory floorplate is polymer and may feel less premium than metal alternatives at this price point.

Note: Timney and Geissele are trigger manufacturers, not complete rifle builders. This comparison highlights that the Ridgeline FFT’s factory trigger is already competitive with aftermarket upgrades, saving you the cost and labor of swapping parts.

What twist rate does the .300 Win Mag barrel have?

The factory barrel uses a 1:10″ twist rate, which stabilizes most .308-caliber bullets from 150 to 220 grains commonly used in .300 Win Mag for hunting and long-range shooting.

Can I mount a scope directly to the receiver?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases (8-40 screws). You can use any one-piece or two-piece base designed for Remington 700 long action.

Is the muzzle brake removable for suppressor use?

Yes. The brake is threaded onto the 5/8×24 muzzle and can be removed with a wrench. The barrel is threaded to the same pattern, so you can install a direct-thread suppressor or a different brake.

How does the carbon fiber barrel affect accuracy when hot?

Carbon fiber dissipates heat faster than all-steel barrels. According to Christensen Arms specs, the wrapped barrel maintains sub-MOA accuracy through a 5-shot string better than a comparable steel barrel of the same weight, though rapid fire (10+ shots) will still cause some shift as the chamber heats.

Does this rifle come with a case or scope?

No. The Ridgeline FFT ships in a factory cardboard box with owner’s manual and thread protector. No case or optics are included.
