The Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti 7mm Rem 22″ is a production bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range precision in a lightweight field package. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, it uses a 22″ carbon-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a removable muzzle brake to manage recoil. The action is a three-lug design with a 60-degree bolt lift, paired with a titanium frame that keeps weight at 8.0 pounds as listed per manufacturer specs. This is a ready-to-hunt and shoot rifle for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy without the bulk.

Key Features
- Carbon-Wrapped Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The 22″ carbon fiber over stainless steel construction reduces weight by 30% compared to a standard steel barrel while maintaining rigidity for consistent shot placement.
- Removable Muzzle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: The integrated brake cuts felt recoil by 40%, allowing faster follow-up shots on target without compromising barrel length or suppressor compatibility.
- Three-Lug Bolt Action — WHY IT MATTERS: The 60-degree bolt lift provides rapid cycling and ample scope clearance, critical for tactical or hunting scenarios where speed matters.
- Titanium Receiver and Frame — WHY IT MATTERS: The titanium construction shaves ounces off the overall weight, making this rifle viable for backcountry carry without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Precision Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The adjustable trigger breaks clean at 2.5 to 3.5 pounds out of the box, eliminating the need for aftermarket upgrades for most shooters.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who needs a lightweight platform for mountain hunting, long-range target work, or patrol use where weight and accuracy are non-negotiable. It suits law enforcement marksmen, military precision shooters, and serious hunters who cover ground on foot. If you carry a rifle all day and expect sub-MOA performance at 600 yards, this is your tool.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory — verified with match-grade 7mm Rem Mag loads.
- Pro: 8.0-pound weight with a 22″ barrel makes it one of the lightest production long-range rifles in its class.
- Con: The 7mm Rem Mag chambering produces significant muzzle blast and recoil without the brake attached; the brake is loud for shooters next to you.

The Ridgeline FFT Ti undercuts both competitors in weight and price while delivering comparable accuracy. Geissele and Timney offer premium triggers and actions, but neither matches the weight savings from carbon wrapping and titanium.
FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti 7mm Rem 22″?
The barrel uses a 1:8.5 twist rate, optimized for 7mm Rem Mag bullets from 140 to 180 grains. This stabilizes long-range match projectiles effectively.
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Remington 700 footprint scope base. You will need to purchase a base and rings separately. Christensen Arms recommends a 20-MOA base for long-range use.
Can the muzzle brake be removed for suppressor use?
Yes. The brake is threaded 5/8×24 and removable. You can direct-thread a suppressor or install a different muzzle device. The brake is not a quick-detach model.
What is the magazine type for this rifle?
It uses a detachable box magazine with a 3+1 capacity. The magazine is proprietary to Christensen Arms and fits flush with the stock.
Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
This model is configured for right-handed shooters. Christensen Arms offers left-handed versions of the Ridgeline line, but the FFT Ti in 7mm Rem Mag is currently right-hand only.
