Description
The Christensen RL FFT 25CM 20″ Dune is a 5.4-lb precision rifle built for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy without the weight penalty. Flash Forged Technology stock, Aerograde carbon barrel, and TriggerTech trigger make this a serious tool for competition and backcountry hunting alike.

Key Features
- Flash Forged Technology (FFT) Stock – The lightest stock Christensen has ever built, yet rigid enough to hold zero under punishing recoil. Why it matters: You get a stable shooting platform that sheds weight without flex or warping in wet, cold, or high-altitude conditions.
- Aerograde Carbon Fiber Barrel – Wrapped carbon fiber over a rifled steel liner, precision-machined for consistent harmonics. Why it matters: Faster cooling, reduced barrel whip, and repeatable accuracy shot after shot—critical for stage-to-stage consistency in PRS or long-range matches.
- Spot Bedding at Action Screws – Factory-bedded receiver interface that eliminates action flex. Why it matters: Tighter group potential from a production rifle, rivaling custom builds—no need to send it out for bedding work.
- TriggerTech Trigger – Adjustable, zero-creep trigger with a crisp break. Why it matters: Clean let-off prevents pulling shots low or left, especially under match pressure or heavy recoil from the 25CM.
- Side-Baffle Muzzle Brake – Threaded and capped with a dedicated brake that reduces recoil by up to 40%. Why it matters: Faster follow-up shots in competition or hunting scenarios, plus less fatigue during extended range sessions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision shooter who carries their gear miles to a match or up a mountain. If you’re shooting 25 Creedmoor for its flat trajectory and low recoil, and you want a sub-6-lb rifle that still prints 0.5 MOA groups, the Ridgeline FFT fits. It’s also ideal for PRS shooters who want a lighter barricade gun without sacrificing barrel stiffness.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: 5.4 lbs fully dressed—takes the strain out of positional shooting and long hikes.
- Pro: Guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy out of the box (verified by multiple third-party tests).
- Pro: 25CM offers excellent ballistic coefficient and lower recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor, making it a sleeper pick for PRS.
- Con: The 20″ barrel trades some velocity for weight savings—expect 50-75 fps slower than a 24″ tube. For most competition stages inside 800 yards, that’s negligible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate does the Christensen RL FFT 25CM barrel have?
The 20″ Aerograde carbon barrel uses a 1:7.5 twist rate, optimized for 25 Creedmoor bullets from 110 to 135 grains.
Is the Dune finish durable?
Yes—the Dune Cerakote is baked on and resists scratches, corrosion, and UV fading. It’s the same coating used by military and law enforcement.
Can I swap the stock or chassis later?
Yes, the Ridgeline FFT uses a standard Remington 700 footprint, so you can drop it into any compatible chassis or stock from MDT, KRG, or others.
Does the rifle come with a scope base?
It includes a 0 MOA rail, but you’ll need to add rings or a one-piece mount. For 25CM, a 20 MOA base is recommended for extended range.
