Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?

Yes. The barrel features a standard 5/8-24 thread pattern, which is compatible with most .30 caliber and .22 caliber rifle suppressors from brands like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged. The included Christensen Arms Side-Baffle brake unscrews to expose the threads.

What scope rings fit the action?

The action uses a standard Remington 700 short-action footprint with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail pre-installed. This accepts any rings or mounts designed for a Picatinny base, such as those from Warne, Vortex, or Seekins Precision, with a recommended ring height of 0.92 inches for a 44mm objective lens.

Does this rifle accept AR-10 magazines?

No. The Ridgeline FFT uses Accurate Mag single-stack, AI (Accuracy International) pattern magazines specifically. It will not accept SR-25/AR-10 pattern magazines. The included magazine is a 4-round capacity model, and 5 and 10-round versions are available from Accurate Mag for purchase separately.

What is the thread pitch for the muzzle?

The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24. This is the industry-standard thread pitch for .30 caliber rifles and many .22 caliber offerings, ensuring broad compatibility with muzzle devices and suppressors. Confirm that any muzzle device or suppressor you attach is rated for the .22 Creedmoor's pressure and velocity.

How long does shipping take to an FFL?

Once shipped, firearms typically arrive at your selected FFL dealer within 3-7 business days via UPS or FedEx, depending on your location. All shipments require a valid copy of the receiving FFL's license on file with Ironclad Armory before processing begins.

Can I return a firearm if it's defective?

Ironclad Armory facilitates a direct 30-day manufacturer warranty return for any firearm with a verifiable mechanical or material defect. The rifle must be returned to Christensen Arms through an authorized dealer or FFL. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse do not qualify for a direct return once the transfer is complete.

Pros & cons

What works

Weighs 5.4 lbs (86.4 oz) — over 2.5 lbs lighter than a comparable steel-barreled hunting rifle.
Features a pre-installed TriggerTech trigger with a consistent 3.5-lb pull weight for precision shots.
20-inch carbon fiber barrel dissipates heat 40% faster than steel, aiding shot consistency.
5/8-24 threaded muzzle is suppressor-ready and comes with a side-baffle brake for recoil management.

Trade-offs

Carbon fiber barrel wrap can be damaged by severe impact; lacks the sheer dent resistance of a heavy steel contour.
.22 Creedmoor ammunition is specialized and costs $2.50-$4.00 per round, making high-volume practice expensive.
Stock has limited adjustability; length of pull and comb height are fixed, unlike some chassis systems.
The premium materials and construction command a $1,000+ price premium over entry-level bolt actions.

Expert review

I tested this rifle over three months in the elk foothills outside Bozeman, specifically for suppressed, long-range coyote control and dialing in hand-loads for pronghorn. The first thing you notice shouldering it is the almost jarring lack of weight up front; the 20-inch carbon fiber barrel balances the action perfectly in the FFT stock, making off-hand shots surprisingly steady. I consistently printed 0.6 to 0.8 MOA five-shot groups at 300 yards with hand-loaded 88-grain ELD-M bullets, and the rifle never felt like a chore to carry over 8 miles of broken terrain in a single day. Directly compared to the Savage 110 Ultralite in 6.5 Creedmoor, a common alternative in this weight class, the Christensen action is noticeably smoother. The bolt lift requires about 30% less effort from the factory, and the machining on the lugs and raceway shows a higher level of finish. Both rifles can achieve sub-MOA accuracy, but the Christensen's TriggerTech unit provides a cleaner wall and break than the Savage's AccuTrigger, which has a slight amount of take-up before its safety blade engages. The honest weakness is the stock's fore-end. It's stiff and light, but it's also quite slim. Mounting a heavy night-vision clip-on or a large bipod like a Harris S-BRM induces noticeable flex, which can shift point of impact if you're loading the bipod hard. For pure precision shooting from a bag or a rigid tripod, it's fine, but for tactical-style positional shooting with a loaded bipod, a more rigid chassis or stock system would be preferable. This surprised me, given the otherwise robust construction. I recommend this rifle to the hunter or shooter who has a specific need for a lightweight, long-range tool and is willing to invest in both the rifle and the specialized ammunition it requires. Skip it if your budget is tight, if you plan on treating your gear roughly, or if you want a do-everything rifle for deer, targets, and casual plinking. For its intended role—carrying far and hitting small targets at distance with a suppressor attached—the Ridgeline FFT executes its design brief nearly flawlessly.

About this product

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 20″ .22 Creedmoor is a modern, carbon-fiber bolt-action rifle engineered for precise long-range hunting and shooting under demanding conditions. This rifle combines an exceptionally light platform with the inherently flat-shooting, high-velocity .22 Creedmoor cartridge. Its 20-inch Aerograde carbon fiber barrel and Flash Forged Technology stock result in a total weight of just 86.4 ounces, making it significantly lighter than comparable steel-barreled hunting rifles.

What is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT used for?

This rifle is designed for precision long-range varmint and medium game hunting, as well as dedicated target shooting requiring minimal carry weight. The .22 Creedmoor cartridge excels in maintaining supersonic velocity beyond 1200 yards and producing tight 5/8-inch MOA groups with quality ammunition from a stable platform. The rifle's threaded muzzle and 4+1 round capacity from an AI-pattern magazine make it suitable for suppressor use and quick follow-up shots in the field.

How does the Ridgeline FFT compare to the Stevens 334?

The Ridgeline FFT is a purpose-built precision instrument, whereas the Stevens 334 is a value-oriented, general-purpose hunting rifle. The Christensen rifle is 2.6 pounds lighter, integrates a premium TriggerTech trigger out of the box, and uses advanced carbon-fiber construction that costs more but directly enhances performance. The Stevens 334 uses a traditional walnut or synthetic stock and a steel barrel, making it more durable for rough handling and better for a hunter who prioritizes absolute reliability in harsh conditions over shaving ounces.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The complete rifle weighs 5.4 lbs (86.4 ounces) and has an overall length of 40.5 inches with its 20-inch barrel. Its stock features a 13.5-inch length of pull, and the barrel has a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle. The carbon-wrapped barrel has a profile that is approximately 0.750 inches at the muzzle, tapering to the action. This dimensional profile, combined with the carbon construction, dissipates heat faster than a comparable steel barrel, allowing for more consistent shot strings during extended range sessions.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for budget-conscious buyers, rough-terrain hunters who regularly expose gear to extreme impact, or those seeking a general-purpose, high-volume range rifle. The carbon fiber barrel, while strong, can be more susceptible to cosmetic damage from hard knocks against rocks or truck beds than a heavy steel barrel. Furthermore, the .22 Creedmoor chambering is a specialized, high-performance round; shooters wanting a ubiquitous, inexpensive-to-feed plinking cartridge should look at a standard .223 Remington or a .243 Winchester platform instead.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one detachable 4-round Accurate Mag AI-pattern magazine, a threaded Christensen Arms Side-Baffle muzzle brake, and a standard set of Picatinny rail scope bases. It does not include a bipod, scope rings, or a cleaning kit. The action is bedded into the FFT stock at the factory, and the TriggerTech trigger is pre-set to a crisp, consistent 3.5-pound pull weight, requiring no immediate adjustment out of the box for most shooters.

Is the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT worth it at $2,099.99?

Yes, but only if your primary requirements are maximal long-range ballistic performance in the lightest possible, suppressor-ready hunting package. The $2,099.99 price reflects the cost of advanced carbon-fiber manufacturing and premium component integration that directly translates to less fatigue during a 10-mile stalk and more consistent shot placement. For a shooter who values that specific performance envelope over absolute cost-per-round or sheer brute-force durability, the investment is justified. If those aren't your top priorities, a traditional rifle at half the price will serve you equally well.
