Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor 20in Threaded

About this product

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor 20in Threaded is a titanium-receiver bolt-action rifle that pairs a carbon-wrapped 20-inch barrel with a Flash Forged Technology carbon fiber stock for a balance of suppressed-ready precision and extreme packability. Chambering it in 25 Creedmoor gives you modern high-BC performance in a cartridge designed for efficient powder burn in shorter barrels. This specific configuration, with its 5/8-24 threaded muzzle and integrated side-baffle brake, is engineered for shooters who prioritize carry weight and adaptability without sacrificing first-round cold-bore accuracy.

What is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor used for?

This rifle is built for mountain hunters and backcountry shooters who operate where every ounce matters and shots can exceed 500 yards. It excels as a suppressor host for extended stalks in high-altitude terrain, where its compact 20-inch barrel maintains a high degree of ballistic efficiency with the 25 Creedmoor cartridge. The carbon-wrapped barrel and FFT stock provide exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, resisting point-of-impact shift from sling pressure or bipod loading in uneven field positions.

How does the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?

The Ridgeline FFT is better for long-range precision and weight savings, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a more economical choice for medium-range general use. The Christensen offers a titanium receiver and carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel, bringing the bare rifle weight down to 5.4 pounds versus the Stevens' approximate 7.3-pound synthetic-stocked build. Chamber choice is the key differentiator: the 25 Creedmoor has a flatter trajectory and better wind resistance at distance, while the .308 offers wider ammo availability and easier barrel replacement.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

This rifle has an overall length of 40.5 inches and weighs 5.4 pounds (86.4 ounces) without optics or a magazine. The 20-inch carbon-wrapped barrel has a consistent profile diameter of 0.750 inches at the muzzle, perfectly suited for threading. The fixed FFT carbon fiber stock features a 13.5-inch length of pull, making it a good fit for most adult shooters without bulky winter gear. At this weight, it is one of the lightest precision-oriented bolt actions in this price category, directly competing with custom builds.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for budget-conscious shooters wanting a cheap plinker or someone whose primary need is sub-200-yard dense timber hunting. The 25 Creedmoor cartridge, while efficient, has higher per-round cost and far less off-the-shelf variety than legacy rounds like .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor. The titanium receiver and extensive carbon fiber constriction also put it at a price point inappropriate for someone considering a basic entry-level rifle like a standard model Stevens 334.

What's in the box?

You receive the bare rifle, a stainless-steel side-baffle muzzle brake pre-installed on the 5/8-24 threads, and a single polymer detachable box magazine. Christensen Arms typically includes a factory test target, which is a single 3-shot group fired at 100 yards; don't expect the quarter-MOA guarantee that comes with their higher-tier MPR models. You'll need to supply your own optics, rings, and a torque wrench capable of 65 inch-pounds to properly mount a scope to the titanium Picatinny rail.

Is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT worth it at $2049.99?

Yes, but only if your primary metrics are weight, balance, and suppressed performance from a compact bolt action. The price point buys you a titanium receiver, which is both lighter and more corrosion-resistant than steel, and a high-quality carbon-wrapped barrel that limits thermal shift. For a hunter planning to hike miles for one shot or a shooter building a dedicated suppressor host without a Form 1 SBR stamp, this configuration delivers. If you just need a deer rifle for the farm, the performance gain over a $700 rifle won't justify the cost.
