The Christensen Ridgeline FFT .300 PRC 22” Threaded, Burnt Bronze is a lightweight precision rifle built for long-range shooting and backcountry hunting. It pairs an Aerograde 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in carbon fiber with an FFT carbon-fiber/synthetic stock, keeping weight down while maintaining rigidity. Chambered in .300 PRC, this model comes with a 22” threaded barrel, side-baffle brake, and a TriggerTech trigger for clean breaks.

Key Features
- Aerograde 416R barrel with carbon fiber wrap — Why it matters: The carbon fiber wrap stiffens the barrel for consistent accuracy while shedding weight, so you can carry it farther and shoot tighter groups.
- FFT carbon-fiber/synthetic stock — Why it matters: This stock is both lightweight and rigid, reducing felt recoil and keeping the rifle steady on target during long strings of fire.
- TriggerTech trigger — Why it matters: Crisp, adjustable pull weight (2.5–5 lbs) with zero creep makes it easier to break clean shots at distance, especially when hunting in cold weather.
- Removable side-baffle brake — Why it matters: Cuts recoil by roughly 30% so you can spot your own hits and follow up faster without flinching.
- Threaded barrel (5/8×24) — Why it matters: Ready for a suppressor or muzzle device right out of the box, no gunsmith needed.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter or precision shooter who wants a lightweight, flat-shooting .300 PRC that doesn’t beat you up. It’s ideal for long-range elk or mule deer hunts where you need to pack a rifle up steep country, and for steel shooters who want a high-BC cartridge in a portable package.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight makes it one of the lightest .300 PRC rifles on the market.
- Pro: Remington 700-compatible action means easy upgrades (triggers, stocks, rails).
- Con: The lightweight barrel profile can heat up faster during rapid fire strings, so it’s best for hunting or slow-fire precision rather than high-volume range sessions.

What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Ridgeline FFT .300 PRC?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which is ideal for stabilizing heavy, high-BC bullets like the 212-grain Hornady ELD-X and 225-grain Berger hybrids commonly used in .300 PRC.
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, it comes with a 0 MOA rail installed, but no rings or scope. You’ll need to add your own optics and rings (Remington 700 footprint).
Is the .300 PRC a good caliber for elk hunting?
Yes. The .300 PRC delivers flat trajectories and high retained energy past 500 yards, making it an excellent choice for elk, moose, and other large game at extended ranges.
Can I use this rifle for long-range target shooting?
Absolutely. The .300 PRC was designed for long-range precision, and the Ridgeline FFT’s carbon barrel and TriggerTech trigger help you hold tight groups at 1,000+ yards.
According to the 2024 NSSF industry report, bolt-action rifles accounted for 18% of all new firearm purchases last year, with .300 PRC showing the fastest growth among magnum cartridges. The Christensen Ridgeline FFT .300 PRC is backed by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Christensen Arms.
