Description
The Christensen Arms RL FFT 7mm Rem Mag Carbon Canyon Phantom 22″ is a bolt-action rifle that strips weight without sacrificing precision. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, it pairs a 22″ carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a Flash Forged Technology synthetic stock. At 5.4 lbs. claimed weight, this is a mountain-ready rig for shooters who demand sub-MOA performance on the clock.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel – Reduces barrel harmonics and heat soak while shaving nearly a pound off a steel barrel. Why it matters: faster follow-up shots and tighter groups in long strings of fire.
- Flash Forged Technology Stock – A molded synthetic stock with integral bedding block that eliminates flex. Why it matters: consistent cheek weld and zero shift even when you’re slung up in a prone position.
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote Finish – Corrosion-resistant and low-glare. Why it matters: one less thing to worry about when rain or mud hits your gear during a match.
- 5/8×24 Threaded Muzzle – Accepts standard brakes, suppressors, or compensators. Why it matters: tuning recoil management to your shooting style without a gunsmith visit.
- 4+1 Detachable Box Magazine – Reloads fast, feeds reliably from the 7mm Rem Mag cartridge. Why it matters: less downtime between stages or follow-up shots on game.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the precision shooter who carries their rig up a mountain or through a 3-day match. If you compete in PRS, NRL Hunter, or shoot long-range steel at altitude, the RL FFT’s weight and balance let you move fast. It also fits the handloader who wants to push 7mm Rem Mag projectiles at 3,000+ fps without a 12-lb. boat anchor.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: 5.4 lbs. with a 22″ barrel – you can carry this all day. According to Christensen Arms specs, that weight includes the threaded muzzle and CF wrap.
- Pro: Burnt Bronze Cerakote is tough and hides carbon fouling well between cleanings.
- Con: The stock’s Flash Forged Technology is stiff, but the forend lacks a full-length ARCA rail. You may need an aftermarket adapter for heavy bipods. It’s a trade-off for the weight savings.
- Con: 7mm Rem Mag recoil in a 5.4-lb. rifle is stout. Plan on a brake or suppressor to stay on target for fast splits.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the Christensen Arms RL FFT 7mm Rem Mag?
Per Christensen Arms specs, the 22″ carbon fiber wrapped barrel uses a 1:9″ twist rate, optimized for 140-175 grain projectiles common in 7mm Rem Mag loads.
Can I mount a scope directly to the receiver?

No. The Flash Forged stock is fixed length of pull at approximately 13.5″. For shooters needing adjustability, aftermarket spacers or a different stock may be required.
What muzzle devices fit the 5/8×24 threads?
Any standard 5/8×24 muzzle brake, suppressor, or thread protector. Popular options include the SilencerCo ASR brake or Area 419 Hellfire.
