Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor 20" 4rd Burnt Bronze Rifle

25 Creedmoor is the quarter bore that finally got a modern case and a fast twist barrel behind it, and it lands neatly between 6mm and 6.5 for deer sized game. The Ridgeline FFT hosting it starts at around 5.4 pounds, which is the entire point of the platform. Flash Forged Technology is Christensen's carbon fiber stock process, building a monocoque shell instead of filling a composite skin, and it takes close to a pound off a conventional stock while staying stiff enough to hold a zero after the rifle takes a fall.

The 20" barrel is stainless steel wrapped in aerograde carbon fiber, threaded at the muzzle and capped with a removable stainless side baffle brake. The action is precision machined steel, spot bedded into the stock, drilled and tapped, and cut on a Remington 700 footprint so scope bases and aftermarket parts are easy to find. A TriggerTech trigger comes installed and breaks flat with no perceptible creep. The internal box magazine holds 4 rounds behind an aluminum hinged floor plate. Burnt Bronze metal against a Barren Dune camo stock finishes it off, and Christensen backs the rifle with a sub MOA accuracy guarantee.
