Why Hunters Choose the Ridgeline FFT
Ultra-light platform: Christensen’s Flash Forged Technology (FFT) stock cuts ounces while preserving stiffness, so you hike farther and climb higher with less fatigue.
Carbon precision: The 20" carbon-fiber wrapped barrel reduces weight, speeds cooling, and delivers repeatable accuracy shot-to-shot.
Suppressor-ready: Threaded muzzle (thread protector included) accepts brakes or suppressors for recoil/flash management and improved field manners.
All-weather durability: Stainless steel action components and corrosion-resistant finishes handle wet, cold, and dust-prone hunts.

Built for Backcountry Success
From steep shale slides to timbered pockets, the Ridgeline FFT shines when every ounce matters. The rigid FFT stock delivers a lively, consistent mount; the light, stiff barrel settles quickly for confident shot execution; and the .270 WSM chambering supplies the reach and energy you want for pronghorn, mule deer, elk, and open-country whitetails—when paired with appropriate bullets and ethical shot selection.
Carbon-Fiber Wrapped Barrel Advantages
Stiffness-to-weight: Strength where you need it with less mass out front for faster handling.
Thermal performance: Efficient heat diffusion helps maintain point of impact during extended range sessions.
Threaded versatility: Add a brake to tame magnum snap or a suppressor (where legal) for better recoil control and shot-to-shot composure.
Ergonomics That Matter
Secure grip geometry: The FFT stock’s contours anchor your hands for a consistent, repeatable mount in gloves or bare hands.
Balanced carry: The short, 20" profile is ideal for brush, blinds, and mountain terrain.
Clean sight picture: Minimal muzzle rise and a stable fore-end keep you on target to call your shot and spot impacts.
Ideal Use Cases
High-country & mountain hunts: Reduced weight for big vertical days.
Western open country: Flat trajectories and downrange authority with modern .270 WSM loads.
Whitetail timber to cutovers: Compact 20" barrel moves easily in stands and ground blinds.
Travel-friendly rifle: Lighter rig means easier baggage weight management and less fatigue.
What You’ll Notice on Day One
Lighter pack-out: The rifle disappears on the sling yet feels planted on the shot.
Confidence at distance: Carbon consistency + stainless action deliver predictable, repeatable accuracy.
Custom-ready interface: Threaded muzzle invites tailored recoil and signature control.

Setup & Zeroing Tips
Mount lightweight glass: Choose a compact scope with ample elevation for the .270 WSM’s reach; use quality rings and torque to spec.
Brake or suppressor: If desired, time a brake correctly or confirm suppressor alignment; re-check zero after installation.
Ammo selection: Test a few bullet weights/constructs (e.g., 130–150 gr) to find your rifle’s “happy load.”
Cold-bore truth: Record cold-bore POI at your hunting temperature; carbon barrels are consistent, but real data rules.
Field verification: Confirm dope at ethical distances—don’t rely solely on calculators.
Care & Maintenance
Bore care: Use quality carbon-safe solvents and a proper guide/rod; don’t over-clean.
Thread protection: Keep the muzzle cap installed when no device is attached; apply a thin film of anti-seize as appropriate.
Stock & metal: Wipe down after wet or dusty hunts; store unloaded in a dry environment with light oil on bare metal surfaces.
