Christensen Ridgeline FFT .22 Creedmoor Sporter

Description

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .22 Creedmoor Sporter is a precision hunting rifle that balances extreme light weight with the long-range ballistics of the modern .22 Creedmoor cartridge. Built around Christensen’s proprietary Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock and an Aerograde carbon-wrapped stainless barrel, this bolt-action sporter delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. The christensen ridgeline fft .22 creedmoor sporter is threaded and fitted with a side-baffle brake, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. A TriggerTech trigger breaks cleanly at a factory-set 2.5 pounds, ensuring repeatable shot placement.

Key Features

• Flash Forged Technology (FFT) Stock — A carbon fiber sporter stock that is 30% lighter than traditional laminates. Why it matters: You can carry this rifle all day without fatigue, making it ideal for backcountry hunts where every ounce counts.
• Aerograde Carbon-Wrapped Barrel — A stainless steel barrel wrapped in carbon fiber for stiffness and heat dissipation. Why it matters: The carbon wrap reduces barrel harmonics and keeps groups tight even after multiple shots, a critical advantage in .22 Creedmoor long-range work.
• TriggerTech Trigger — A zero-creep, adjustable trigger with a factory 2.5-lb pull. Why it matters: A crisp, consistent break eliminates shooter-induced error, letting you exploit the .22 Creedmoor’s flat trajectory.
• Side-Baffle Muzzle Brake — Threaded 5/8×24 with a brake that vents gases to the sides. Why it matters: Reduces perceived recoil by approximately 40% and keeps the muzzle down for rapid follow-ups, without the blast directed back at the shooter.
• Threaded Muzzle with Cap — Factory-threaded for suppressors or brakes, includes a protective cap. Why it matters: Ready for your can out of the box, preserving the rifle’s balance and accuracy.

Who It’s For

The Ridgeline FFT .22 Creedmoor Sporter is built for the hunter who demands precision at distance without the weight penalty. It suits the varmint shooter targeting coyotes at 400 yards, the mountain hunter chasing mule deer in steep country, and the collector who appreciates a modern, carbon-fiber take on the classic sporter rifle. If you value a rifle that carries like a .223 but hits like a 6mm, this is your platform.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Extremely light (6.5 lbs), sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, excellent trigger, effective muzzle brake, threaded barrel for suppressors.
• Cons: The carbon fiber stock has a slightly slick texture in wet conditions; aftermarket grip tape or a stippled forend is recommended for all-weather hunts.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Ridgeline FFT .22 Creedmoor Sporter?

The barrel has a 1:7.5 twist rate, optimized to stabilize 55- to 90-grain bullets commonly used in .22 Creedmoor for varmint and precision hunting.

Is this rifle compatible with aftermarket triggers?

Yes, the action uses a standard Remington 700 footprint, so aftermarket triggers from Timney, Geissele, and TriggerTech can be installed with minor fitting. The factory TriggerTech trigger is already excellent for most shooters.

Can I mount a scope directly to the receiver?

The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws and accepts standard Remington 700 scope bases. We recommend a one-piece rail for consistent alignment.

What is the magazine capacity?

The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity, suitable for hunting regulations in most states. Aftermarket 5- and 10-round magazines are available from AICS-compatible manufacturers.
