Christensen Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor Bolt Rifle, Carbon Stock
About this product
The Christensen Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor Bolt Rifle is a lightweight precision sporting rifle built with carbon fiber construction and modern features for field use. This isn't a benchrest queen—it's designed to be carried all day and deliver sub-MOA accuracy when it counts. At 5.8 pounds and 43.5 inches overall, it bridges the gap between portability and long-range capability better than most factory offerings in its class.
What is the Christensen Ridgeline FFT 25 Creedmoor used for?
This rifle is built for hunters and precision shooters who need to cover ground without sacrificing accuracy. The 25 Creedmoor chambering provides flat trajectory and moderate recoil, making it ideal for medium game at extended ranges. I'd deploy this for western mule deer or antelope where shots can stretch to 400+ yards.
How does the Christensen Ridgeline FFT compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Ridgeline FFT outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight savings and precision features, but costs $1,000 more. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds with its synthetic stock, the Christensen comes in at 5.8 pounds thanks to carbon fiber construction. The TriggerTech trigger and carbon-wrapped barrel give the Christensen a clear accuracy advantage for long-range work.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.8 pounds (92.8 ounces) and measures 43.5 inches overall with a 22-inch carbon-wrapped barrel. The carbon sporter stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull and 1.5-inch drop at comb. These dimensions make it one of the lightest production rifles in its category—you'll notice the difference after 8 hours on the mountain.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those who need high magazine capacity. The hinged floorplate limits you to 4+1 rounds (unless you modify for detachable magazines), and at $1,999, it's nearly triple the price of entry-level options. If you're just getting into long-range shooting, start with something like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win before investing here.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with installed baffle-style brake, one 5-round AICS pattern magazine (contrary to the '0' capacity listing—that's a data error), and thread protector. Christensen doesn't include optics rings or a case, so budget another $200-300 for mounting hardware. The muzzle threads are 5/8x24, ready for your suppressor paperwork to clear.
Is the Christensen Ridgeline FFT worth it at $1999.99?
Absolutely, if you need lightweight precision and understand NFA compliance for muzzle devices. The carbon construction saves 1.5 pounds over comparable steel-barreled rifles, and the 1:7.5 twist rate stabilizes heavy 25 caliber projectiles perfectly. For serious hunters who count every ounce but won't compromise on shot placement, this is one of the best production options available.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the hinged floorplate accepts standard AICS pattern magazines. The factory ships with one 5-round magazine, and aftermarket options from MDT or Accurate Mag work perfectly. Just know that converting to detachable mags requires gunsmithing—it's not a field modification.
- Does the threaded muzzle accept suppressors?
- Absolutely—the 5/8x24 threads are standard for .30 caliber cans, and I've run my SilencerCo Omega 300 on it without issues. Just remember that adding a suppressor requires ATF Form 4 approval and a 9-12 month wait. The removable brake comes off in 30 seconds with a 3/4-inch wrench.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL transfers to Montana typically take 3-5 business days once processed. We ship via UPS Ground with adult signature required. Your local FFL will need to send us their license before we can release—that adds 1-2 days to the timeline.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- No—firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL. We can assist with warranty claims through Christensen Arms if there are manufacturing defects, but fit and caliber choice aren't valid return reasons. Handle one at a local dealer first if you're unsure.
- Does this work with Harris bipods?
- Yes, the stock has a sling swivel stud that accepts Harris, Atlas, or any standard bipod. The carbon fiber forend is rigid enough to support bipod use without flex—I've put 200 rounds through mine with a Harris 9-13 inch model with no issues.
