The Christensen Ridgeline FFT 7mm-08 Rem 20″ Stainless Carbon Fiber is a precision hunting rifle that pairs a 20-inch stainless steel barrel wrapped in carbon fiber with Christensen’s FFT (Flat Forged Technology) stock. It weighs 5.5 lbs (per manufacturer specs) and uses a TriggerTech trigger.

The stainless action, removable side-baffle brake, and hinged floorplate make it a practical choice for backcountry hunts and range sessions.

Key Features
- 20″ Stainless Carbon Fiber Barrel — The carbon fiber wrap reduces weight while maintaining stiffness, so you get faster follow-up shots without sacrificing accuracy. The 1:8 twist stabilizes 140-162 gr bullets.
- TriggerTech Trigger — A crisp, adjustable trigger with zero creep. Per Christensen, the trigger breaks cleanly at 2.5-3.5 lbs, letting you hold the crosshairs steady through the break.
- FFT Flat Forged Technology Stock — The carbon fiber stock is molded flat and then shaped, giving you a rigid, consistent platform that resists flex in wet or cold conditions. The bedding is CNC-machined for repeatable action fit.
- Removable Side-Baffle Brake — The brake reduces felt recoil by about 30% (per factory data), so you can spot your own impacts during strings. It threads off for suppressor use (5/8×24).
- Hinged Floorplate — The steel floorplate allows quick unloading without cycling rounds through the action. It’s flush-fitting to avoid snagging on brush.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the long-range hunter who carries a rifle all day and expects first-round hits at 500+ yards. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight build that still holds sub-MOA groups. If you reload 7mm-08, you’ll appreciate the 1:8 twist that stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 162 gr ELD-X. It’s not for benchrest-only shooters—the carbon stock is light but not as heavy as a chassis system.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6 lb weight makes it ideal for mountain hunting. The carbon barrel stays cooler longer than all-steel barrels during strings.
- Con: The 20″ barrel loses about 100-150 fps compared to a 24″ tube in 7mm-08. If you need max velocity for extreme range, consider a longer barrel option.

FAQ
What twist rate does the barrel have?
The 20″ stainless carbon fiber barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 162 grains. It’s optimized for 140-162 gr projectiles.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, and the removable side-baffle brake can be swapped for a suppressor. The carbon fiber wrap is compatible with suppressor use—just ensure the can is rated for 7mm-08 pressures.
Does the stock have a bedding system?
The FFT stock uses a CNC-machined aluminum bedding block that mates directly to the action. Per Christensen, this eliminates the need for glass bedding and ensures consistent accuracy.
What is the maximum effective range with this rifle?
With a 20″ barrel and quality 140-162 gr ammo, the 7mm-08 Remington is effective to about 600-700 yards on medium game. The 1:8 twist helps retain stability at extended distances.
Is the trigger adjustable?
Yes. The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. You can tune it with a hex key—no gunsmith needed.
