Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm-08 Rem 20in Left-Hand Threaded

About this product

What is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm-08 Rem 20in Left-Hand Threaded? The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT is a purpose-built, left-handed hunting and precision rifle using carbon-wrapped stainless construction and a flat-forged titanium action to deliver a 5.30-pound package that still meets Christensen's Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. This specific configuration in 7mm-08 Remington with a 20-inch threaded barrel is engineered for the shooter who requires a lightweight, suppressed-capable platform built from the ground up for a southpaw, unlike the typical right-hand offerings. The inclusion of a TriggerTech trigger and a side-baffle brake standard addresses immediate performance and recoil management from the first box of ammunition.

What is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm-08 Rem used for?

This rifle is a dedicated long-range hunting and suppressed shooting platform for left-handed shooters. Its optimized 20-inch barrel coupled with a 5/8x24 thread pattern is a common suppressor-host length for 7mm-08, balancing velocity retention and overall mobility. The 5.30-pound baseline weight makes it a natural choice for mountain or backcountry hunts covering significant elevation gain where ounces translate directly to fatigue.

How does the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The Christensen Ridgeline FFT prioritizes advanced materials and precision performance at an expert-tier price, while the Stevens 334 Rifle offers a budget-friendly, no-frills entry into a .308 platform. The Christensen uses a carbon-wrapped stainless barrel and a flat-forged titanium action, resulting in its 5.30-pound weight, whereas the Stevens 334's standard chrome-moly barrel and all-steel action bring it to approximately 7.1 pounds; the Christensen is objectively superior for weight-critical applications requiring suppressor-ready threading out of the box.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The Ridgeline FFT, as configured, weighs 5.30 pounds (85 ounces or approximately 2,405 grams), with a 20-inch barrel bringing the overall length to 40.5 inches. The carbon fiber stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull and a 1.5-inch drop at the comb to provide a classic prone and off-hand shooting geometry. The magazine capacity is the standard 4+1 rounds, limiting your on-hand ammo count but keeping the action trim.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is actively not for right-handed shooters or budget-conscious buyers. A left-hand-specific bolt action demands you commit to that platform for all manipulations, and at $1,999.99, this model's material technology comes at a premium that a first-time rifle buyer or casual plinker will not recoup. It's also a poor candidate for high-volume shooting competitions like PRS, where a heavier, more modular chassis system like those from the Stevens 555 series would be better suited for stabilization and rapid reloads.

What's in the box?

You receive the barreled action seated in its fixed sporter carbon fiber stock, a single 4-round polymer magazine, the installed side-baffle muzzle brake, and the manufacturer's warranty/Sub-MOA guarantee paperwork. Unlike some of our Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotguns, it does not include a hard case, suppressor thread protector, or lenspen-style cleaning rod—practical accessories for which you must budget separately.

Is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT worth it at $1,999.99?

Absolutely, but only for the left-handed shooter who requires a lightweight, suppressor-optimized rifle and is willing to pay for carbon fiber and titanium construction. You are paying a premium of roughly $800-$1,000 over a standard production rifle for a weight savings of 1.5 to 2 pounds, which is a decisive factor in high-angle terrain. If your primary use case is a stationary bench or a blind, that investment is harder to justify compared to a heavier, more stable, and less expensive alternative.
