The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 7mm Rem Mag 22in Burnt Bronze Cerakote is a lightweight, bolt-action rifle built for backcountry hunting and precision field work. It pairs a featherweight 416R stainless steel barrel with a removable radial muzzle brake and an FFT carbon fiber sporter stock to keep carry weight low without sacrificing shootability. The Mesa FFT features a TriggerTech match-grade trigger and is offered with a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish and a green carbon stock with black and tan accents. Built with hand-lapped, button-rifled barrels and Christensen Arms’ Sub-MOA Guarantee, the Mesa FFT is aimed at shooters who want a high-performance rifle that doesn’t weigh them down.

Key Features
- Featherweight 416R Stainless Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Hand-lapped and button-rifled for consistent accuracy, the 22-inch barrel keeps the rifle balanced and easy to carry all day.
- Removable Radial Muzzle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: Cuts recoil noticeably, so you can spot your hits and stay on target for follow-up shots.
- FFT Carbon Fiber Sporter Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: Sheds weight without flexing, giving you a solid shooting platform even in rough terrain.
- TriggerTech Match-Grade Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Crisp, adjustable pull with zero creep — helps you shoot tighter groups right out of the box.
- Sub-MOA Guarantee — WHY IT MATTERS: Christensen Arms backs this rifle to shoot under 1 MOA with quality ammo, so you know it’s accurate.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the backcountry hunter who needs a lightweight, reliable tool for long hikes and steep climbs. It’s also a solid pick for the precision shooter who wants a field-ready rig that still shoots sub-MOA groups. First-time buyers stepping into a high-end bolt gun will appreciate the ready-to-run accuracy and manageable weight.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 6.5 lbs, sub-MOA guarantee, TriggerTech trigger, removable muzzle brake, corrosion-resistant Cerakote finish.
- Cons: The carbon stock can feel a bit slick in wet conditions — adding a Talon grip or stippling tape helps. Also, the 7mm Rem Mag has stout recoil even with the brake, so it’s not ideal for new shooters.

FAQ
What twist rate does the Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 7mm Rem Mag have?
Per Christensen Arms specs, the 22-inch barrel uses a 1:9.5 twist rate, optimized for 140-175 grain bullets common in 7mm Rem Mag.
Does the Mesa FFT come with scope bases or rings?
No, it comes with a Picatinny rail installed, but you’ll need to buy rings or a one-piece mount separately. I’d recommend Talley or Leupold rings for a solid setup.
Is the muzzle brake removable?
Yes, it’s a radial brake that threads off. You can swap it for a suppressor or thread protector if you prefer.
How does the 7mm Rem Mag compare to .300 Win Mag for hunting?
The 7mm Rem Mag has flatter trajectory and less recoil than .300 Win Mag, making it a great choice for long-range hunting on elk or mule deer. The Mesa FFT handles it well with the brake installed.
