Key Features
- Free-Floating Titanium Barrel – The 20-inch, button-rifled titanium barrel is wrapped in carbon fiber, reducing weight while maintaining rigidity. Why it matters: This design minimizes barrel harmonics, allowing consistent shot-to-shot accuracy even after prolonged firing.
- Carbon-Fiber Stock with Adjustable Comb – The Ridgeline stock is hand-laid carbon fiber with a full-length aluminum bedding block. Why it matters: It provides a rock-solid foundation for the action and allows the shooter to customize cheek weld height for perfect scope alignment.
- TriggerTech Trigger – A factory-installed TriggerTech Frictionless Release trigger, adjustable from 2.5 to 5 lbs. Why it matters: Zero creep and a crisp break translate to better precision, especially in field conditions where a clean trigger pull is critical.
- Fluted Bolt with 60-Degree Lift – The spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight and offers a short, smooth throw. Why it matters: Faster cycling and less mass improve handling and follow-up shot speed, a boon for both hunting and competition.
- Threaded Muzzle with Radial Muzzle Brake – The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI and includes a radial brake. Why it matters: It reduces felt recoil by up to 40% and allows easy attachment of suppressors or other muzzle devices.
Who It’s For
This rifle is tailored for the backcountry hunter who hikes miles for a single shot, the precision rifle enthusiast who values weight savings without sacrificing accuracy, and the collector who appreciates the engineering artistry of titanium and carbon fiber. It’s also a strong choice for the shooter transitioning from factory rifles to a custom-grade build.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Exceptional weight-to-accuracy ratio – at 5.8 lbs, it’s one of the lightest production .308 rifles that still holds sub-MOA guarantees.
- Pro: High-quality components (TriggerTech trigger, carbon-fiber stock, titanium barrel) that typically require aftermarket upgrades on other rifles.
- Con: The titanium barrel, while durable, can heat up faster than steel during rapid fire strings, potentially affecting consistency in high-volume shooting sessions.

FAQ
Does the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT Ti come with a scope base?
Yes, the rifle includes a pre-installed 0 MOA Picatinny rail, ready for mounting optics. It’s compatible with standard 6-40 screw patterns.
What is the barrel twist rate on the .308 model?
The 20-inch barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing bullet weights from 150 to 180 grains, the most common range for .308 hunting and match loads.
Is the titanium barrel more prone to corrosion than steel?
Titanium is inherently corrosion-resistant and does not require bluing or coating for protection. The Cerakote finish adds an extra layer of durability against scratches and weather.
Can I use this rifle for long-range target shooting?
Yes, the Ridgeline FFT Ti is capable of consistent sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards and beyond. However, its lightweight design makes it more sensitive to shooter technique than heavier chassis rifles.
