The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .300 WSM 20-inch Threaded is a full-size bolt-action rifle built for the shooter who demands precision without packing extra weight. It pairs a stainless-steel action with a carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel and Flash Forged Technology (FFT) components to deliver a sub-6.5-pound platform that shoots flat and hits hard. This is a serious tool for long-range hunting and tactical precision work, and it comes ready to mount optics and attach a suppressor.

Key Features
- Carbon-Fiber-Wrapped Stainless Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces weight by roughly 30% compared to a comparable steel barrel while maintaining stiffness for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- Flash Forged Technology (FFT) Components — WHY IT MATTERS: Machined carbon-fiber floor plate and bolt knob shed ounces without sacrificing durability, keeping the rifle balanced and fast-handling in the field.
- TriggerTech Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Crisp, adjustable pull with zero creep allows you to break clean shots at distance without yanking the crosshairs off target.
- Removable Side-Baffle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces felt recoil by up to 40%, so you stay on target for quick follow-up shots. Threaded 5/8-24 for suppressor attachment.
- 3+1 Internal Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: Low-profile, flush-fit design feeds reliably and doesn’t snag on brush or gear during movement.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision-minded hunter or competition shooter who needs a lightweight, long-range platform in a magnum cartridge. If you’re chasing elk, mule deer, or steel out past 600 yards, the .300 WSM gives you the velocity and energy. It works equally well as a dedicated suppressor host for reduced signature in tactical or night-hunting setups.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6.5-pound weight makes it easy to carry all day in the backcountry.
- Pro: Pre-fit barrel system simplifies future caliber swaps or barrel replacements.
- Con: The carbon-fiber stock is stiff but offers limited adjustability for cheek weld; you may need an aftermarket cheek riser for perfect eye alignment with high-mounted optics.
