The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Carbon/SS is a precision bolt-action rifle that balances lightweight carbon-fiber construction with stainless steel durability. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this model features a 20-inch carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a threaded muzzle and baffle brake, plus a fixed sporter carbon stock in black with gray accents. It ships with Christensen Arms’ Sub-MOA Guarantee, meaning your first group should be tight out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Stainless Steel Barrel – Why it matters: This combo cuts weight without sacrificing stiffness or accuracy, so you can carry it all day and still ring steel at 600 yards.
- Threaded Muzzle with Baffle Brake – Why it matters: Reduces recoil noticeably and lets you attach a suppressor or brake easily, making follow-up shots faster.
- Fixed Sporter Carbon Stock – Why it matters: The ergonomic design with gray accents gives you a solid cheek weld and a non-slip grip, even in wet conditions.
- Sub-MOA Guarantee – Why it matters: Christensen Arms backs this rifle to shoot under one minute of angle out of the box, so you’re not guessing if it’s accurate.
- 6.5 Creedmoor Chambering – Why it matters: Flat trajectory, low recoil, and excellent long-range performance make this caliber a favorite for both hunting and target shooting.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants a lightweight, accurate bolt gun that can handle backcountry hunts or a day at the range without weighing you down. It’s also a solid pick for first-time buyers stepping into a precision rifle—the Sub-MOA guarantee takes the guesswork out of accuracy.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight (under 7 lbs), accurate out of the box, threaded barrel for suppressors, low recoil with brake.
- Cons: The fixed stock limits adjustability compared to a chassis system, so tall shooters may need a cheek pad.
