Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti .300 PRC Bolt Rifle
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 5.3 lbs (85 oz) — over 30% lighter than many steel-action precision rifles.
- Guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy with a factory-provided test target.
- 24" carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel dissipates heat fast and reduces weight by nearly 1.5 lbs versus a steel contour.
Trade-offs
- .300 PRC ammo costs $4-$6 per round for quality match loads — expensive for sustained practice.
- The lightweight build amplifies felt recoil; a suppressor or high-quality brake is strongly recommended.
- The carbon-fiber stock, while stiff, lacks the adjustable cheek riser found on many dedicated chassis systems.

About this product
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti .300 PRC is a titanium-action, carbon-fiber-barreled bolt rifle engineered for sub-MOA accuracy at extreme distances while weighing just 5.3 pounds. It represents the high-end convergence of ultralight hunting and precision shooting platforms, built around the powerful .300 PRC cartridge. This is a specialist's tool where every gram is accounted for in pursuit of rigidity and repeatable performance.
What is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti .300 PRC used for?
The Ridgeline FFT Ti is built for hunters and shooters who demand precision shots on game or targets beyond 800 yards without carrying a heavy rifle. Its 5.3-pound weight makes it formidable for mountain hunting, while the sub-MOA guarantee and threaded muzzle make it equally viable for long-range competition stages or suppressor use. The .300 PRC chambering ensures effective terminal ballistics on elk-sized game at distances where most standard hunting cartridges have bled off too much energy.
How does the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Ridgeline FFT Ti is a purpose-built, no-compromise precision instrument, whereas the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a utilitarian, reliable workhorse. The Christensen rifle is 2.8 pounds lighter due to its titanium action and carbon-wrapped barrel, guarantees sub-MOA accuracy, and costs roughly $2,000 more. For a shooter whose primary concern is budget and who doesn't need extreme long-range capability, the Stevens is better; for someone who values cutting weight and extended precision, the Christensen is superior.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.3 pounds (85 ounces) without optics or mounts. It features a 24-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, and an overall length of approximately 43.5 inches. The titanium receiver shaves over a pound off a comparable steel model, and the synthetic carbon-fiber stock maintains rigidity with minimal bulk.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the casual plinker, the budget-conscious hunter, or anyone averse to the recoil and ammunition cost of the .300 PRC. If your typical shot is inside 300 yards on whitetail, you're paying a massive premium for capability you'll never use—consider a more standard cartridge like the 6.5 Creedmoor. It's also not ideal for someone wanting a traditional wood-stocked rifle; this is a modern, technical tool.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with the factory-installed removable muzzle brake, one 3-round detachable AICS-pattern magazine, and the official Sub-MOA test target. Factory documentation includes the warranty card and manual, which details torque specifications for the action screws (45 inch-pounds) and scope base (20 inch-pounds). The brake is pre-installed but can be removed in under 60 seconds with a correctly sized wrench.
Is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti worth it at $2,538.99?
Yes, if your specific use-case justifies its specialized engineering for extreme long-range performance in a lightweight package. You are paying for the material science of the titanium action and carbon-fiber barrel, the rigorous fitting that yields the sub-MOA guarantee, and the design focus on hunting-weight precision. If your needs are met by a Stevens 334 in .243 Win or similar sub-$600 rifle, this represents a significant over-investment for minimal practical return.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with a standard .30 cal suppressor?
- Yes, directly. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, which is the industry standard thread pitch for .30 caliber rifles. This allows direct attachment of most .30 cal suppressors like those from Dead Air, SilencerCo, or SureFire without any adapters, provided you first remove the factory brake.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Due to its 43.5-inch overall length, it will fit in most standard 46-inch or larger rifle cases. For comparison, a takedown shotgun like the <a href="/products/stevens-555-sprtng-ovr-undr-410">Stevens 555 in .410</a> requires less internal length. I recommend a hard case with internal dimensions of at least 48 inches for safe transport with the brake attached.
- How long does shipping take?
- For this in-stock item, processing takes 1-2 business days. Ground shipping to most continental US locations takes an additional 3-7 business days. All firearms ship to your chosen, licensed FFL dealer, who will conduct the mandatory background check, which can add another day.
- Can I return it if it doesn't shoot accurately?
- Firearms sales are final for safety and regulatory reasons. However, Christensen Arms backs it with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when using quality factory ammunition. If it fails to meet that standard, you must contact Christensen Arms directly under their warranty for evaluation and potential repair, not through the retailer.
